Your learning style
An important part of learning
something new is to have a teacher who can teach to your best learning
style. I will tailor your lessons to the way that you learn best
so that you can progress faster. There are predominantly three
types of learning styles. We all use all three styles to some
degree but most people have one dominant learning style. By being
aware of your best style I can help you learn better. What type of
learner are you?
-
VISUAL: The visual learner learns
by watching others. You are very observant of others
movements. You pay close visual attention to my demonstrations
of skiing or snowboarding maneuvers. In a group you tend
to watch others in the group do something first. You listen
best to descriptions that paint a vivid picture. You seek
feedback from your teacher to find out if you're doing it
right. You really appreciate watching a video tape of your
skiing or riding.
-
AUDITORY: The auditory learning
is sometimes called the cognitive learner. You learn by
listening to how something is done and reasoning through
concepts. You tend to listen closely and ask questions about
how to do something. You can relate to concepts of how the ski or
snowboard edges and base interact with the snow as well as
biomechanical issues. You also seek feedback.
-
KINESTHETIC: The kinesthetic
learning is the doer or action taker. You are keenly aware of
your movements and sensations of motion and space. You
sort of get an idea about how to do something by watching or
listening but you really learn how to do something by trial and
error. You are usually the first in the group to try a new
maneuver. You can feel when you get it right.
