The term "Learning Style" is
used in a variety of ways in the teaching and learning process. Generally,
it refers to the uniqueness of each learner. Individual difference might
include personality, mental processing, confidence, attitude, sensory
intake processes or some complex combination of these and other differences.
The threshold of learning is receiving new
information; therefore, sensory intake deserves special attention. Measuring
the seven elements of the perceptual modality of learning styles can give
the learner valuable information about their sensory processes. The seven
perceptual learning styles are print, aural, interactive, visual, haptic,
kinesthetic, and olfactory. This survey will help you identify and rank
your seven perceptual learning styles. The results of this survey can
help you plan your future learning experiences. This
is not a test; there are not right or wrong answers. You will be responding
to forty-two statements concerning how you best learn. When responding,
consider past learning successes and your intuition about how you learn.
The response choices are : always, usually, seldom, or never. An always
response indicates that the statement is a strong representation of your
learning style preference. If a statement is a good way for you to learn,
but not your most preferred, you should select usually. Seldom is the
response for statements that reflect a way you can learn, but you would
prefer other
