In the theory exam this is how you will be tested, by reading for yourself or listening to someone else read the questions and you will be expected to select an answer within a certain amount of time. I passed my theory test using this method.
For the practical driving test, the auditory learning style is used just before the test for the questions you may be asked before the test starts and also for the instructions given by the examiner.
The kinesthetic learning style is helpful when learning to drive a car, because to practice hands on is vital as this is how you will be examined in the driving test. To start with I found this learning style difficult as coordinating my mind and body was hard, but as I have progressed with my driving it became natural to me.
For the theory exam you can practise for it using all of the methods above, for example kinesthetic is used as you can click on the screen where you think the hazards are on hazard perception practice.
Auditory learning style is used on the questions before the hazard perception part of the practice test.
Visual is also used on the hazard perception test in the practice questions, you can watch someone else clicking on where the mistakes are and learn from and this.
I feel the visual learning style is the most effective for myself because I learn best by being shown visually and remembering it.
Task 2 (3.1)
An example of a learning situation I did not enjoy was learning to play the piano.
If I made a mistake the teacher would use the kinesthetic approach getting me to keep practicing where I was going wrong, but I found this complicated to remember making me get flustered and play even worse. It was unsuccessful because it was a different learning style to the one I like. I would have preferred a combination of visual and auditory learning styles first, moving on to kinaesthetic once I had mastered the basics.
I could have coped with these learning styles if I remembered everything he was showing and telling me, and practiced very hard until I was successful in remembering how to read the music and play the piano.
The strategy which I could have used to cope with this learning style would have been to practice at home on my own until my playing became better.
This strategy would have made my learning more successful by making me more relaxed and helped me gain confidence in my own abilities.
