Last weekend,Mr. Whiting came to us and we had find out what parts of our body uses in daily-life. My dominant parts are Right ear, Left eye, Left hand, and Left foot. I couldn't believe that I was Left dominant, because I always use Right hand as touch, and write..... As a result, My profile is 'GG'. While Mr. Whiting talking to us about profile, it was marvelous to catch the marker with left hand which Mr. Whiting threw to me. Through my profile sheet, I could know what should I need to improve and be confident about. From the sheet, there were descriptions about me, with bullet points. Parts of them was the weakest points of me. Especially penmanship, my penmanship was really strange. Even it was really hard to read. However, my mom kept help me to figure it out when I was child, and I'm proud of myself because now nobody has problem to read my writing.
From my profile sheet GG said I learn best by visually focusing on auditory input and analyzing the details of information. Which is right. At the same time, I got that this is why I am comfortable when someone is saying something to me. Listening is most easy thing which helps me to focus on something which I am doing. Otherwise, Reading. It makes me boring. To focus on Reading something is my challenging part. Especially books. When I am reading them, before I know, I'm thinking of something else. Not about the book! Through my profile sheet, I could know my strongest point clearly. The most important thing that I got from the sheet was that if I memorize something with listening. I usually don't forget! Unlike reading. Learning something with auditory skill will be helpful for me to understand something easily. When I'm listening to someone saying, I can memorize them and summarize to small size, and I can have the main point of it. However, Reading, I easily forget the first part of it. So, I need to re-read and re-read.
Another statement which is in my profile sheet is 'As an auditory learner must hear and usually has a good memory for the details, spelling and math.' which is I strongly agree. I am really strong at memorizing Vocabulary(especially spelling). If I see the vocabulary, I never forget the spelling. The effect comes with twice times much if I memorize them with listening. It's my inclination since I learned English. How about math? I'm not that good at.... However, when I memorize a formula, It's very easy to remember, either I never forget them, and that makes math funny for me. The thing that makes me to memorize well with just looking at them is because I love letters and numbers.
To learn effectively, my profile sheet recommended me that I need to set my right ear(Because I am right ear dominant) toward to my teacher. So that I can hear obviously what teacher is talking about. From my profile sheet in additionally, exercises which helps me to warm up my brain to focus on, such as Lazy 8's. It will helps me to keep focus on class whole time-1hour and 20minutes. As a concluding remark, to set right ear toward to my teacher and make sensory experience and do a exercises before the class starts, It will support my brain to keep concentrate on class.
The strategies that would help me in my learning is to understand and synthesize information from a whole perspective, and explore ambiguity, emotions and movement. I always have trouble with understanding. So, I take time like twice times more than others, and even if the question is indirect way, it will takes more time. However, when I get them up, unlike others, I keep the thing what I have understood and makes the progress faster than others. Then, I can come up with brilliant ideas when I caught the purpose and main point of thing we are doing. If I synthesize information from a whole perspective, it will help me to figure out my understanding problem.
I would like my teachers to know this about me that I'm very weak at understanding, so that I can't understand the instruction without obvious details. Even it is in Korean, I would not understand what it means. If there got some extra-tips or extra-information, It will be enough for me to figure out easily. Furthermore, I would like teachers to know that I can concentrate more deeply where the place is quiet, because it stimulates my understanding skill. If not, I would easily distracted by sound. Yes, I'm really sensitive. I can't just ignore the sound around me, always join them while I was not aware of it.
As a conclusion, I knew that what kinds of learner I am and what inclination do I have. Through this profile sheet. I could know what ways do I need to choose if I want to learn things effectively than before. Also, I could know what are my problems and what are my strong points. I could know myself obviously and clearly. I am now scared how stupid strategy I would choose if I didn't check up my learning profile.
