Reflection on learning style
Reflection on learning style
The VARK questionnaire identifies my preferred learning style as kinaesthetic and this identification is correct because I favour a practical style for engaging in the learning process. I am a pragmatist and prefer to learn through the process of developing ideas into practice.
The pragmatist style is developed except that according to the Honey and Mumford model I still have to express opinions openly.
The VARK questionnaire also identifies a preference toward an aural learning style . This identification is also correct as I prefer to take information by listening and either recording the key information in a mind map learning style or writing notes at the same time, keeping the written communications concise and to the point.
One surprising point is that I expected to be identified as a visual learner. I prefer to communicate ideas in sketches and drawings.
Focusing on one learning style may in fact restrict learning, so therefore alternative learning styles need to be developed to enable effective learning in different learning situations.

Learning Line
Reflection on learning line
My career has been involved with electronics communications engineering in an industrial manufacturing setting and education within the design technology field.
When I left school I started a formal apprenticeship in wiring and assembly
and also attended college were I studied electrical and mechanical principles.
The course changed to an electronic bias and in the third year I gained a distinction in introductory electronics and a credit in electronic control.
I also continued my studies with an instrument production engineering course.
The education aspect of my career involved a technician/instructor role with specific responsibility for electronics.

I have also been involved in teaching graphics/resistant materials to yr7/8 and teaching/guiding a yr11 resistant materials group through their GCSE.
I believe that the undergraduate course that I am studying in sustainable design and innovation is the culmination of all this experience and will enable me to gain the necessary qualification to become a teacher of design and technology.
