Part 1
According to the “Learning Style Quiz”, I am Tactile Learner. Tactile learners learn when they can physically try out a concept to understand all the components that give it meaning (Fleming, 2019). I have always taken the hands-on approach when learning and do well when I am engaged in an activity.
Typically, Tactile learners utilize their senses to observe what it is that they need to learn and then try it out once they feel as though they have grasped the concept (Fleming, 2019). For me, I can look at a particular picture and figure out how to put something together or understand a concept/idea. Tactile learners are very hands on and learn best when they can explore on their own.
According to Fleming (2019), tactile learners can learn best by role playing, studying with others, utilizing memory, and flash cards to name a few study suggestions. My personal favorite is studying with friends and using flash cards. Some challenges for Tactile learners include but are not limited to listening to long lectures, reading for long periods of time, and writing extensive essays (Fleming, 2019).
While writing has always been a strong suit of mines, writing a long essay without taking breaks creates a barrier for me to perform effectively with expectations of a particular assignment.
Tactile learners have trouble sitting still for long periods of time, don’t follow instructions or tend to overlook them, do not like to feel confined to a designated area and may have trouble concentrating (Fleming, 2019). I think it is very important for one to understand their learning style so that they can effectively understand knowledge needed to excel in life.
Part 2
Training and development are a vital part of an organization’s success. However, organizations must avoid having a linear approach to training and development. According to Youssef-Morgan and Stark (2020), training that leverages different communication styles tends to be the most effective when delivering content to a diverse audience (p.8.2).
For example, as a visual learner like myself, I retain more information if I see a visual example of my shared information. “As a visual learner, you may learn best when you create charts or pictures of the information you’re studying” (Fleming, 2017).
Therefore, a visual learner should be provided or encouraged to bring paper and pens to jot down thoughts and participate in learning activities in a training environment. In addition, having activities that enable visual learners to practice or watch an example of what is expected of them and how to accomplish it can help them retain the material.
An opportunity can arise for a trainer if the content they present to a visual learner is not interactive. Visual learners can zone out and not retain training content if they cannot take notes or have a visual aid to add color to the information; avoiding online training or long lectures with zero interaction would be most effective. Below is a one-pager that I believe describes a visual learner and the characteristics very well and can be helpful when compiling a training.
