Your learning style is your mind's unique way of assimilating and processing the information you need to obtain. No one learns and communicates in the same way. When working with different people, we need to make sure to think about the fact that there are different learning styles as well as different personality types. The only way for a small group of individuals to communicate effectively is to identify each member's learning style and personality types up front so that the team can operate in a timely and respected manner. By determining each person's learning style, we can identify each individual's strengths and weaknesses and help each other realize our achievements to promote academic success. After determining each person's personality style, we can begin to focus on ways to communicate and collaborate effectively within our group. I chose to cover 3 of the eight types of learning styles which are linguistic verbal, musical and relational. I will also cover three personality types, the thinker, the organizer, and the giver. To begin, the first learning style I will discuss is verbal linguistics. The verbal learning style learns best when taught using spoken words or written materials. This learning style refers to a person's ability to reason, solve problems, and learn using language. They speak well, retain information, and can easily convince you to see things through their eyes. The most practical way to use this person is to have them teach, motivate, and mentor the group. They can also be the ones to present and talk about the project. They know the material and the research used. The second learning style will be musical. Music plays a big role in their lives. They learn and think in patterns, rhythms and sounds. They prefer to study in environments that offer familiar sounds, which can offer memorization cues. This will be the one in the group you always see humming or tapping their fingers on the table during an exam or at lunch. In a group, the most practical way to utilize that individual's learning style is to allow them to gather the data needed for the project. The interpersonal learner can communicate both verbally and non-verbally. They work well in groups.
