INTRODUCTION

ASSALAMUALAIKUM W.B.T & SALAM SEJAHTERA,

SALAM UITM DIHATIKU,
SALAM DARI KAMPUS TANAH SERENDAH SEKEBUN BUNGA,

CHAMPIONING DATAPRENEURSHIP, EMPOWERING COMMUNITY .

Allowed me to introduce myself. I’m Nurul Aishah binti Mohd Izani, an enthusiastic

and dedicated student on a quest for knowledge and growth. Hailing from Kampung Banggol

Petani, Wakaf Bharu, Kelantan. My academic journey has been a tapestry woven with

curiosity, resilience, and an urge for learning. Currently enrolled in Universiti Teknologi MARA

(UiTM) Machang, pursuing a diploma in Office Technology Management (BA132). It is such

an honour to being one of the BA132 and UiTM Machang students.

First and for most, this UED102 e-portfolio was created by me to introduced about

UED102. UED102(study skills) is a course designed to equip students with essential learning

skills crucial for success in their university life. This course typically focuses on various

aspects that are fundamental for academic and personal growth within the university setting.

Study Skills Development: UED 102 may concentrate on improving study techniques, time

management, note-taking methods, and effective reading strategies. These skills are vital for

managing the rigorous academic.

 TOPIC 1: GETTING READY TO LEARN (LEARNING STYLE INVENTORY)

There are different learning styles:

- visual (learn by seeing),
- auditory (learn by hearing),
- kinesthetic (learn by doing)
People often have a mix of these styles, favouring one or two over others. Figuring out your
dominant style can help tailor your learning approach to suit you better.

How to be a successful student?

- Attend all classes
- Become an active learner
- Participate in class
- Get to know your lecturers
- Form study groups with friends
- Stay up to date with your work
- Be receptive to change
- Work hard this semester

Scoring Your Inventory

Tally your responses by adding up only the YES answers. Put the number of the question in the
appropriate 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 answered number 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
Kinesthetic Style: Questions 3, 6, 7, 12, 15, 17, 21, 22, 27, 30

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 view
them 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.

TOPIC 2: GOALS SETTING (GOAL STATEMENTS-THE FIVE STEP APPROACH)
Absolutely, goal setting is indeed a powerful tool for envisioning your ideal future and taking
steps to turn those aspirations into reality. It is to identify what we want to achieve and make
our goals specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART).
