Completing this quiz, I found that I am a Tactile Learner. The quiz stated that as a tactile learner, I best learn when I participate in activities that get me out of my chair. Direct involvement works best for a tactile learner, as activities with integrated learning are the best method. What stood out to me the most about this assessment was that it stated that I might have been called a poor listener or a fidgety student. I am guilty on both accounts, as I have difficulty sitting still during training or classroom environments. For the most part, the quiz results were spot on. The type of training that appeals to tactile learners includes various "hands-on" methods, as tactile or kinesthetic learners do better when they are alert and moving. (Indeed, 2020). Tactile learners prefer their instruction to be a physical experience.

Methods of instruction that may aid a tactile learner to grasp whatever materials are being presented would be the use of role play that interjects the into the lesson, physical training aids, encouraged to take notes, or anything that keeps them engaged in the lesson. (UMASS-Dartmouth, n.d). From personal experience, I have a hard time grasping a concept just by simply reading a subject or through visual aids like bars and graphs. For tactile learners, “Death by PowerPoint” is probably one of the most ineffective methods of instruction. When it comes to training, those developing the training need to understand the importance of learning styles and that the target audience may have a mix of styles that work best for them. For this reason, it is probably best when feasible to use various methods of delivery during a training session.

After taking the Learning style quiz by Grace Fleming I learned that I am a visual learner. I learn better by writing things down as well as highlighting the main parts of things I have read. I also prefer to see someone do a task a couple of times before I get the hang of it.

Training for Visual Learners:

Visual training is best with visual learners, videos and interactive videos are best. Having instructions with steps on how things are done is helpful. Having a self-paced training can help if a visual learner gets distracted. According to Youssef-Morgan, C.M., & Stark, E. (2020), “The primary advantage of self-paced training is its flexibility. This flexibility gives trainees the ability to fit the training into their busy schedules and allows them to take as much time as they need to master challenging content. “(Section 8.2, Paragraph 47). With a flexible timeframe to get things done is best for a multi-tasking visual learner.

Good methods of instruction for Visual Learners:

The best method of instruction for a visual learner would be by showing in person how something is done. Or by having PowerPoints or videos on how to do a certain task. Having a binder with instructions on how each task is performed readily accessible. Having a calm demeanor and knowing that learning is handled differently.

Bad methods of instruction for Visual Learners:

The worst method of instruction for a visual learner would be to assume that the learner would know how to do a task by verbal instructions. Being put on the spot can be extremely uncomfortable and unnecessary. According to Fleming, G. (2017, March 6), “Avoid “cold-calling” on visual learners after a lecture presentation, as they need a few minutes to process the information they’ve just heard.” (Tips for visual learners, Visual learning tips for teachers). Being instructed wrong can lead to a person who can't understand how or why something is being done properly.

This is quite interesting about your learning style and I believe that this is one of the best methods of learning. The learning styles determine how an individual understands the information and interprets the instruction. It is quite clear from your response that you always prefer to take part in physical activity to understand they are roles and responsibilities effectively. I would like to mention some of the advantages of the kinesthetic learning style that would be helpful to benefit the professionals and promoted in the workplace. Training programs with components are extremely important for retaining the information and hands-on simulations that allow kinesthetic learners to practice new concepts. Moreover, recent developments in the field of training focus on the usage of created animated versions (Rezapour-Nasrabad, 2019). 
As you have mentioned that role-playing is one of the most effective ways that can help you to return the information.
