Learning Profile-K

I am a gestalt thinker with the profile K.

In a K profile, I am a visual learner that must see the whole three-dimensional perspective and emotional elements to learn. My tendency is to see the big picture and to be less concerned with the details. I learn best through movement and by focusing on the whole picture, context and emotional relevance to self. When I am relaxed, I may easily communicate the details and sequence of information, both verbally and written. I prefer not to follow step-by-step instructions and tend to start by imagining the end results and then intuitively doing what seem appropriate. My movements tend to be spontaneous and fluid when relaxed.

There are many habits and strategies that will help me to learners like me become more orderly and analytical in you thinking and your work habit. I need to sit in front row on the left hand side where they can access their left eye most easily because I am in a left eye range. I need to see the whole picture but not know where to start to chunk it down into the linear pieces of language to express it. It will be highly beneficial if I work on an integrative balance of art, music, movement and interpersonal skills combined with cognitive endeavors in linguistics and mathematics. Also, in order to be a good learner, I need to make lists, prioritize, use flow charts and attend to details.

I may have difficulty communicating, listening and remembering when under stress. Because I am in a left eye range, it scans from right to left. It is possible challenge reading or writing languages that move from left to right like English. I may reverse or transpose letters or numbers. My biggest challenge may be to access the pieces of information and be able to put them together in a linear logical manner that I can then communicate, so I may not know what you are talking about. Also, I do not really understand when someone is explaining about an object step by step. I might have to see an image. For example, if I buy a new phone and there is an instruction how I should use this phone and what function this phone has. However, I do not read it but I just use the phone whatever I want. Therefore, I have a difficulty when there is an long instruction about problems.

I would like my teachers to know that I need to be encouraged and modeled how to work with and communicate the details and linear aspects of life and learning. There are many activities that can help me to be a good learner. They are reading out loud, Thinking Cap from Brain Gym, megaphones, toning the vowels and cross-lateral hand play like knitting, writing and drawing with the non-dominant hand, and massaging the Temporal mandibular Joint for communication. Also, if I see an image while I am learning, I will be a better learner. I would like my teacher to explain problems with images. Other than these situations, I am most likely be focused in class.
