When choosing a career or area of study, these are important for me: Communicating with others through discussion. Working with designs, maps or charts. Using words well in written communications. Applying my knowledge in real situations. I want to learn how to play a new board game or card game. I would: watch others play the game before joining in. listen to somebody explaining it and ask questions. use the diagrams that explain the various stages, moves and strategies in the game. read the instructions. I want to learn how to take better photos. I would: use diagrams showing the camera and what each part does. ask questions and talk about the camera and its features. use the written instructions about what to do. use examples of good and poor photos showing how to improve them. I want to save more money and to decide between a range of options. I would: read a print brochure that describes the options in detail. use graphs showing different options for different time periods. consider examples of each option using my financial information. talk with an expert about the options. I want to assemble a wooden table that came in parts (kitset). I would learn best from: advice from someone who has done it before. diagrams showing each stage of the assembly. written instructions that came with the parts for the table. watching a video of a person assembling a similar table. A website has a video showing how to make a special graph or chart. There is a person speaking, some lists and words describing what to do and some diagrams. I would learn most from: watching the actions. reading the words. seeing the diagrams. listening. I need to find the way to a shop that a friend has recommended. I would: ask my friend to tell me the directions. find out where the shop is in relation to somewhere I know. use a map. write down the street directions I need to remember. I want to learn about a new project. I would ask for: an opportunity to discuss the project. examples where the project has been used successfully. a written report describing the main features of the project. diagrams to show the project stages with charts of benefits and costs. I want to learn to do something new on a computer. I would: start using it and learn by trial and error. read the written instructions that came with the program. talk with people who know about the program. follow the diagrams in a book. I have a problem with my heart. I would prefer that the doctor: described what was wrong. gave me something to read to explain what was wrong. showed me a diagram of what was wrong. used a plastic model to show me what was wrong. I want to find out more about a tour that I am going on. I would: use a map and see where the places are. look at details about the highlights and activities on the tour. talk with the person who planned the tour or others who are going on the tour. read about the tour on the itinerary. When learning from the Internet I like: audio channels where I can listen to podcasts or interviews. interesting design and visual features. videos showing how to do or make things. interesting written descriptions, lists and explanations. I prefer a presenter or a teacher who uses: handouts, books, or readings. question and answer, talk, group discussion, or guest speakers. demonstrations, models or practical sessions. diagrams, charts, maps or graphs. When I am learning I: see patterns in things. read books, articles and handouts. like to talk things through. use examples and applications. I have finished a competition or test and I would like some feedback. I would like to have feedback: using examples from what I have done. using graphs showing what I achieved. using a written description of my results. from somebody who talks it through with me. I want to find out about a house or an apartment. Before visiting it I would want: a discussion with the owner. to view a video of the property. a printed description of the rooms and features. a plan showing the rooms and a map of the area.
