It was a great class this week AGAIN although some of our classmates couldn't make it to class this time. The temperature dropped down below 15C but the atmosphere was warm and relaxed. We all got something to share!
Teacher Abbie started the class by helping us discover what type of learner we are and talked about the features and differences among these 4 types of learning styles. Each of us got to contribute our own special learning experience and then Abbie offered us a question to think about. How do you learn to use the computer with visual, auditory, tactile and kinetic ways? After that, we concluded that learning always comes along with a combination of methods.
At the second half of class, Abbie brought up the topic about the efficiency and fairness of the test-based high school entrance examination. Tests do help to push us to study for not being flunked but it doesn't guarantee that we can learn something from it. Most of us burn the midnight oil the night before the test and what we cram into our brains usually doesn't stay in it for a long time. Jerry mentioned that we're supposed to be like "live to learn" but we're going on the opposite direction on the contrary. Most students in Taiwan learn or study just for tests and they're not having fun learning. However, some of us still got something to talk about, but unfortunately we ran out of time.
Here are some websites to help you find out what type of learniing style you use:
