What Type Of Learner Am I?

What Type of Learner am I?

We have put together some categories that fit the type of learner you might be which will help you and your instructor understand what resources and teaching techniques will be required to maximise your performance and progress when learning to drive.

Auditory Learner

If you are an Auditory learner then you will often learn better when you have the practical task or theory information explained and discussed with you.
You would much rather listen to instructions rather than read up on written notes beforehand. You will probably benefit from resources such as this podcast.
You will often want to speek out to reinforce your understanding and possible ideas. You like to explain the decisions you are making and tend to need to justify them. When you speak out, you are happy to question and criticise without much fear. You are the type of person who is fantastic at verbally explaining things. You may also like things repeated by the instructor to re-enforce the task or instructions.

Kinesthetic Learner

If you are a Kinesthetic learner then you tend to learn through experiencing or doing the task for real. You like to get right in the thick of things by having a go at the task as soon as possible and are happy to be learning from mistakes in order to understand the concepts and processes. You might struggle to sit still and listen to an instruction and prefer a more hands on demonstration. You tend to be a more hands on practical person.
You will develop a physical sense of what you are learning and develop your own concepts to adapt and modify to suit similar situations.

Reading and Writing Learner

If you are a Reading and Writing Learner then you prefer to learn through written words. While there is some overlap with visual learning, you are drawn to the written article through writing it down or reading what others have written, such as our blog. You will read up on the task before hand, research concepts and reflect back on what you have experienced and learnt through writing in diaries. You are keen to analyse criticism and find valid solutions to problems.

Visual learners

If you are a visual learner then you are someone with a preference for seeing demonstrations and observing what others do. Pictures, diagrams and written directions help you picture the task at hand. If you are a visual learner then you tend to understand information better when it’s presented in a visual way. You quite like to doodle, make lists and take notes to help you learn.

crossings

Types of pedestrian crossings When learning to drive a focus of a lesson can be based around pedestrian crossings. During your driving test, the examiner will be looking at how you deal with or react to pedestrian crossings. They want to make sure that you are planning ahead, showing awareness and responding to them them in the safest possible way. Pedestrian crossings get put into two main categories – uncontrolled and traffic light controlled. For all crossings: -In queuing traffic, you should keep the crossing clear. On approach to a crossing there will be white zigzag lines on both sides of the road to highlight there is a pedestrian crossing ahead – these also prevent people parking at any time and is a place you make no attempt to overtake. You should take extra care where the view of either side of the crossing is blocked by queuing traffic or incorrectly parked vehicles. Pedestrians may be crossing between stationary vehicles. Allow pedestrians plenty of time to cross and ...

Push, Pull Steering Technique

Push, Pull Steering Technique At 4front Driving School we teach the Push Pull Steering Technique as it is the is the expected and safest method of steering when learning to drive, reducing the risk of loosing control and avoids crossing arms. This technique allows you - the driver to sit in a better posture position. It helps you achieve a more controlled grip of the steering wheel and helps you perform smoother turn of the wheel.

Setting a goal and how to achieve it

Those who write down their goals are more likely to achieve their goal than those that don't. You should carry your goal with you and reflect on its progress and development in the form of a reflective journal. Goals that can be measured and set within an achieveable time frame sre more effective. Explaining your goals to others can increase your chances of achieving them as others share ideas and support you in your aims. Avoid keeping your goals to yourself, they tend to get lost or forgotten amongst other things that begin to take over. Goals need commitment and, regular reflection and motivation. Achieving a goal often means sacrificing something or putting aside certain habits. Achieving a goal can be very energising- the greater the goal, the greater the achievement and the more energising it becomes. When you choose to learn to drive you are setting yourself not only an end goal but many goals along the way. Each goal is an achievement which takes time, effort and commitmen...
