 SCORING YOUR INVENTORY
Tally your responses by adding up only the YES answers. Put the number of the question in
theappropriate box. For example, if you answered questions number 9 with a yes, write 9 in
the VISUAL box. If you answered number 11 with a yes, write number 11 in the AUDITORY
box. If you answerednumber 7 with a yes, write 7 in the KINESTHETIC box. Add up the
number of questions in each box and write a total for each one. This will determine your
preferred learning style. Don’t worry if a dominant mode doesn’t emerge. You’re a versatile
learner! Use the knowledge you gain to create
excellent study tools, the ones that are right for you. Chart your answers below.

Visual Style : Questions 1, 4, 9, 10, 13, 16, 19, 24, 25, 28

Auditory Style : Questions 2, 5, 8, 11, 14, 18, 20, 23, 26, 29

TOTAL : 139 TOTAL : 91 TOTAL : 56

The highest score indicates your preferred learning style. If you have a high score in more
than one area,you’re using additional modalities. Remember that there are no wrong
answers to this inventory. Everyone is an individual and has her own style of learning.

Characteristics of Visual, Auditory, and Kinesthetic Modes

• Visual learners need to see information. If your preferred style is visual, you have strong
visualization skills and can remember objects, shapes, and pictures. You learn by reading,
and by watching films, videos, and demonstrations. You can see pictures in your mind.

• Auditory learners need to hear information. If your preferred style is auditory, you have a
“good ear” and can hear differences in tones and rhythm. Reading out loud will be beneficial.
You can remember what you hear in a lecture.

• Kinesthetic learners need to be physically active and doing things. If your preferred style
is kinesthetic, you are a hands-on learner. You have good coordination and learn by doing.
You generally have an active approach to learning.
 USING MULTI-SENSORY LEARNING
Now that you know your learning style(s), you have an idea of the important role
your senses play in the learning process. The best strategy is to combine modalities
whenever possible. Incorporate visual,kinesthetic, and auditory learning into your
study plan. Using combinations will strengthen your ability to retain information. Be
creative. Add your own ideas. Here are some strategies:

Visual learners:
• Create mind maps, flow charts, and diagrams using bright colors. Put them where
you can viewthem frequently.
• Practice building your visual memory.
• Rewrite your notes using different colors.

Auditory learners:
• After you read a page in your textbook, summarize the information out loud in
your own words.
• Tape your instructor’s lecture, and if you are a commuter, listen to the tape on the
way home, either in your car, or on the bus or subway.
• Discuss the material that you have been learning with a friend or study group.

Kinesthetic learners:
• Use your hands. Cut up charts and diagrams. Create flash cards and move them
around with large, sweeping movements.
• Walk and talk the information. Recite as you move.
• Type on a computer keyboard. You are using your muscle memory.

Developing Your Style: Combining Visual, Auditory, & Kinesthetic

Modes
Additional ways you can use multi-sensory learning:
• Use background music (no lyrics to distract you) when you study. Choose a piece of
music for a particular subject. Every time you study that subject, play the music. You
are creating an association for your subconscious mind. You may be surprised to
discover how much of the information you remember when you play the music by
itself. You are combining Visual and Auditory modes.
• Use rap or rhyme to memorize information. To add Kinesthetic to this Auditory
mode, walk, dance, or clap when you sing.
• If you are athletically inclined, dribble a basketball while you recite information.
You are combining Auditory and Kinesthetic modes.
• Study with a partner or in a group. Discuss the information. Hold up flash cards
diagrams, hierarchies, and mind maps to test each other. This combines Visual and
Auditory modes.
• Put yourself in the picture. You can do this with a subject like history; participate in
a battle or a significant meeting such as the signing of the Declaration of
Independence. Ask yourself how you feel. This combines Visual and Kinesthetic
modes.
• Make up your own strategies. Incorporate multi-sensory learning into your studies.

Additional Strategies:
• If you are learning a new vocabulary word or math formula, write it in the air using
large, sweeping movements. Close your eyes and see it in your mind’s eye. Say the
words out loud. You are combining V, A, and K modes.
• Use the sense of smell. One student created olfactory (smell) associations by using
scented pencils for studying. He used a grape pencil for one subject and a chocolate
one for another. When taking an exam, he used the appropriate pencil to help him
recall information. He combined V and K and added an additional sensory mode.
• Use 5- by 7-inch flash cards to self-quiz. Use different and bright colors for each
side. Lay them on a desk or table. Move them around and put them in different
places as you study, or create a game with them. Place them into different
categories in a hierarchical fashion such as “don’t know,” “review,” and “need to
study more.”
• Create your own auditory notes using a tape recorder.

My Personal Learning Style Plan:

Choose for the suggestions listed above 4-5 techniques you will try this quarter as
you study for classes. List them here as an action plan detailing how you will
incorporate multi-sensory learning into your study time.

I’m a visual and auditory learning styled person , there is several techniques that I want to try for this
= semester and see if it’s effective or not .

Firstly , I would like to try to create mind maps, flow charts, and diagrams using bright colors. Put
them where i can view them frequenty so that I can increase my study skill day by day and also to
keep me reminded of what to read and memorize.

Secondly , I wanted to try summarize the information out loud in my own words after reading a whole
textbook or notes to ensure the things that I read will be memorized and transfered to my mind . This is the
techniques that auditory learner use for their studies .

Thirdly , I want to always set up my study space , study space should be quiet , comfortable and
distraction-free. i will decorate it with my favourite pictures or objects.

The fourth techniques or thing that I want to do is planning my time wisely by setting an alarms , use a wall
planner and make to-do list so it can helps me to have some plans in motion so you can make the most of my
study time

Apart from that , im also vey curious to try out to study with a partner or in a group and do some flashback
studies using flash cards diagrams , hierarchies , and mind maps to test each other through “google meet” . This
techniques isn’t only strengthen friendship but also will help us to understand more in studies.

Last but not least , I want to make up my own strategies by incorporating with multi-sensory learning into my
studies such as make an acronym and make a song of my notes .

 • ORGANIZATIONAL STRATEGIES ACTIVITY 4-7

Look at the following list of words for sixty seconds; then cover it with your hand or a piece of paper
and try to write the words in the margin.

Newspaper, pencil, bus, automobile, book, pen, boat, magazine, comic book,
chalk, crayon, train

You may have found that it was difficult to remember all twelve of the items. Do you know why?
Earlier you learned about the capacity of short-term memory. If you recall, you can remember only
about seven pieces of information at one time. You can, however, increase this capacity by chunking
(grouping) the information. You probably will be able to remember all twelve items if you group them
as follows:

THINGS YOU READ THINGS YOU WRITE WITH THINGS YOU RIDE IN
• N
• Newspaper • Pencil • Bus
• Book • Pen • Automobile
• Magazine • Chalk • Boat
• Comic book • crayon • train

With this grouping, you have three pieces or chunks of information to remember instead of twelve.
Its easy to rernember three things, right? You also can remember the four items in each category
quite easily because the headings help trigger your memory. Now look at the three groups for sixty
seconds and try to write down as many of the items as you can in the margin.

Read the text and apply the SQ3R method. Write in point
summarize of each step below:

a. Survey

b. Question

c. Read

d. Recite

e. Review

a) Survey
There are four types of political systems that have
been used in nationstates which is Monarchy,
Authoritarianism, Totalitarianism and Democracy.

b) Question
- What is Authoritarianism?
- Why was the democracy in the US history didn’t
get full support from their people?
- What Totalitarianism do to keep people from
rebelling?
- What condition was the ‘relative power of
monarchs has varied across nations’ depends
on?
 - Why do all the rulers need support from the
military and the backing business elites?

c) Read
- Authoritarianism is a political system controlled
by rulers who deny popular participation in
government.
- Throughout U.S history, members of
subordinate racial-ethnic groups have been
denied full participation in the democratic
process. Gender and social class have also
limited some people’s participation.
- To keep people from rebelling, Totalitarian
governments enforce conformity such as
people are denied the right to assemble
political purposes and access to information is
strictly controlled.
- Monarchies are most common in agrarian
societies and are associated with traditional
authority patterns. However, the relative
power of monarchs has varied across nations,
depending on religious, political and economic
conditions
- All rulers need the support of the military and
the backing business elites to maintain their
position
d) Recite
- Controlled by the rulers who deny popular
participation in government.
- Limited participation in the democratic process.
- Totalitarianism governments enforce
conformity. - Depending on religious, political
and economic conditions - To maintain their
position.

e) Review
- Authoritarianism system is where there is only
one ruler who responsible for making decisions.
The ruler do not need to consult with other
people to making decisions because the ruler
deny popular participation in government.
- Democracy in the US didn’t get support from
their people especially women because they
have not had the same rights as men.
- The action that took by totalitarianism
governments to enforce conformity is right
because they are able to make sure their
country is in a safe state.
- It is to ensure that the ruler is functions
greatly as the head of the state and able to
control the country
- In order to maintaining the position, all rulers
need supports because it is difficult to stay in
their position without the supports from
others
