2. Think about how your learning style relates to your work at school. The Learning Styles profile
offers lots of suggestions to help you learn in your preferred style.
Which suggested strategies do you already use? How successful do you think they are in helping you
learn and remember information?
- After reading something, make a summary and say it out loud
- Try talking to yourself when problem solving. These are very helpful because i need to be able to understand the material by myself.
Which suggested strategies can you begin using now to help you learn and remember information?
You may find written assignments easier if you talk it out as you write. I don't like to talk out loud, but it says that it will l help me write more.
3. Now try to think of some more tips that you could use in the following situations:
You have a test in two weeks that is worth 30% of your final grade. What strategies could you use to
help you study for the exam?
The strategies i would use, would be to review my notes and make index cards.
You’re having trouble absorbing information in class. What suggestions could you make at the next
student-teacher conference that would help you and your teacher develop a learning plan to suit your
learning style?
I would ask for the teacher to post the information online or speak slower so that i can absorb the information that she/he says.
You have to write a 5-page essay, and you’re feeling a little overwhelmed. What tips can help you
prepare to tackle the project and write the paper?
To tackle the assignment, i would make sure that i have time management so that i do not rust at the end when it is due.
4. Think about how understanding your learning style relates to career possibilities. How can knowing
how you learn help you make important career decisions and succeed in the workforce?
Understanding my learning style will help me in the the future because i will be able to quickly get things done on time.

5. Read the Job Description section.
Write down two or three tasks that people in this occupation perform.
- Conduct physical exams and order tests to diagnose diseases and injuries
- Recommend treatment, such as medication, surgery, or rehabilitation
- Help patients through difficult times, such as puberty or family problems
- Often communicate with social workers, family members, and other health care workers
Describe how you could learn to perform each task in a way that complements your learning style. (e.g.
adjusting technical equipment: auditory learners could listen to someone explain how to adjust the
equipment; visual learners could read the manual; tactile learners could test out the equipment)
When you are with a patient you need to write down the child's symptoms. Also when they orally tell me their problems.
6. Read the Working Conditions section.
Write down two working conditions that are common for people in this occupation.
Pediatricians work for hospitals, health clinics, and government agencies. Many are self-employed, opening their own private practice offices or becoming partners with other doctors in clinics. Some also work in colleges as professors.
Describe how you could adapt the working conditions you listed above so that they support your
learning style. (e.g. working in an office: auditory learners could reduce noise distractions by closing their
office door; visual learners could reduce visual distractions by clearing away clutter in their office or
cubicle; tactile learners could take frequent breaks or walks.)
To reduce noise distractions i can close the door to my office, so that i can focus on my work.
7. Now that you’ve learned a little more about your learning style, answer the following questions:
What do you think are some of the challenges associated with your learning style?
I prefer to write down the oral information, but some people may not allow me enough time to write down all the important notes.
What do you think are some of the advantages of your learning style?
Some advantages of my learning style would be that we have a strong ability to remember information.
