INTRODUCTION:
Throughout my first semester of college,I have learned much more than I anticipated.I gained a lot of knowledge about software development life cycles which will surely come in handy in developing my future career. My undergraduate college experience has been an innovative process.I first entered Patan college for professional studies back in September 2019 with a goal in my mind to become a software engineer.So, I took the course of Bsc(hons) in Computer science and software engineering which I saw as a suitable course to achieve my future objective.Beginning of the session I was introduced to study skills which has helped me a lot in developing my learning and speaking skills.
Leaning is a life long never ending process. Human being learns new things throughout its lifetime. There is no best way to learn. Everyone has a unique approach in learning, and because of this, the best way to deal with learn is the way you learn. A learning style is a certain way that the mind receives and sets new information. There are different approaches to manage adjusting, anyway the three essential styles are visual, auditory, and tactile. It is significant for the general progression of person. Simply the person who is sharp understudy can suffer and create in the present concentrated environment.We always continue to learn from the day we born till the day we die. A presence without learning looks like stagnating water. Human being learn everything that comes to him i.e. learn from its actions, its experience etc.
BODY:
From a test I took it seems like I am well fitted to be called as an auditory and visual learner. I generally learn by hearing ,tuning in, examining or seeing pictures. I understand and review things I have heard. I try to store data by the means it sounds and that I have a neater time understanding spoken directions than written ones. I often learn by reading out loud because you have to hear it or speak it in order to know it.As an auditory visual learner, I in all likelihood mumble or banter with myself or others in case I become depleted. People may think I am not centering, regardless of the way that I may be hearing and understanding everything being said.
1. ELLI:
The Effective Lifelong Learning Inventory (ELLI) has demonstrated to be an integral asset for producing mindfulness, reflection and self-improvement arranging about learning throughout my first semester of college. It has been utilized viably over a scope of establishments, branches of knowledge and levels of concentrate to raise student mindfulness and to advance student improvement. Most as of late ELLI has given both helpful quantitative information and been an impetus for much important subjective information in the Dispositions to Stay and Succeed venture.A brief of the seven dimensions of learning power is discussed below.
- Changing and Learning: a feeling of yourself as somebody who learns and changes after some time; the inverse is being 'stuck and static'
- Critical Curiosity: a direction to need to 'get underneath the surface'; the inverse is being ‘passive’
- ’Meaning Making: making associations and seeing that learning 'matters to me'; the inverse is essentially 'gathering information'
- Creativity: hazard taking, energy, creative mind and instinct; the inverse is being 'rule-bound'
- Learning Relationships: taking in with and from others and furthermore having the option to adapt alone; the inverse is either being 'separated' or 'over-dependent'

- Resilience: the direction to continue on in the improvement of your own learning force and relish challenge; the inverse is being ‘fragile and dependent’
I see myself as a critically curious and creative learner.When I find something really interesting to I try to get beneath the surface and find things out.I can’t agree what I am told without a proper reason behind it.So, I always have a desire to find things out on my own.I always enjoy a challenge and trying to solve a problem on my own.Trying to take risks and being creative has always been my speciality.i see things differently on most of my projects and try to take a different approach to it than the other members.
2. MAP(motivation attitude and personality):

The first forms of the MBTI were built by two Americans, Katharine Cook Briggs and her little girl Isabel Briggs Myers. The MBTI depends on the theoretical hypothesis proposed by Swiss specialist Carl Jung,who had estimated that individuals experience the world utilizing four head mental capacities – sensation, instinct, feeling, and thinking – and that one of these four capacities is predominant for an individual a large portion of the timeDivided into 4 categories are Judging Perception , Sensing Intuition, IntroversionExtraversion, Thinking Feeling,. Each person is said to have one preferred quality from each category, producing 16 unique types.I can be considered as the ISFP personality type or The creator. ISFP stands for Introversion, Sensing ,Feeling and perceiving. People with an ISFP character type will in general be imaginative, flighty, and compassionate in their conduct.

4. MY BELBIN ROLES:
Belbin describes a team role as 'a tendency to behave, contribute and interrelate with others in a very specific means.' There square measure three action minded roles - Shaper, Implementer and Completer Finisher; three folks minded roles - Co-ordinator, Teamworker and Resource Investigator and three cerebral roles - Plant, Monitor judge and Specialist. Developed by Meredith Belbin in 1981, following 9 years of study and has become one in every of the foremost accessible and wide used tools to support team building. The team roles were designed to outline and predict potential success of management groups, recognising that the strongest groups have a diversity of characters and temperament varieties. Has been criticised because of it's potential oversimplification and 'pigeon-holing' of people. However, once used showing wisdom to achieve insight regarding the operating of the team and establish the team strengths and weaknesses it is extraordinarily helpful.From all the nine categories,I feel like the best role that suits me is Innovator.I think I am a creative person.Most of the time I am never out of ideas and always have plan in mind. I have a strong imagination and a desire to be original. As an innovator I prefer to be independent and tend to approach tasks in a scientific way. As a creative individual the innovator can play a crucial role in the way a team approaches tasks and solves problems.
5. HONEY AND MUMFORD:
Honey and Mumford learning styles were created by Peter Honey and Alan Mumford in 1986. Their work is motivated from and based upon Kolb’s learning styles model. In any case they delivered their very own Learning Styles Questionnaire (LSQ) in light of the fact that it was discovered that Kolb's LSI had low legitimacy with managers.Therefore as opposed to asking individuals straightforwardly how they learn, as Kolb's LSI does, Honey and Mumford gave a survey that tests general social propensities. The basis behind this is a great many people have never intentionally thought about how they truly learn. Also, to be a compelling student, people must think about their learning styles or inclinations and discover approaches to get the hang of utilizing those methods.To help with finding the right learning style or inclination, Honey and Mumford have built up a survey based on a continuum as the figure appears underneath. Realizing your learning style encourages people to settle on more intelligent choices in modifying the learning openings and your inclination of best learning, builds the range and assortment of encounters which are potential learning openings, improves learning abilities and mindfulness.
Since I learn by watching and thinking and lean toward tuning in to addresses ,watching exhibits, examining and bunch exchanges. So out all the four, Reflector suits me as my principle learning style.I like to consider my encounters and see from alternate points of view. I like to gather information legitimately and from others and investigate it completely before settling on a choice. This may lead me to defer arriving at a choice rapidly. I am mindful and like to be inactive in talks and watch others in real life. I am a decent audience and contemplate all focuses before offering my own perspectives.
Reflectors are the individuals that learn by watching and pondering what occurred. They may abstain from jumping in and want to observe as a passive spectator. Want to remain back and see encounters from various alternate points of view, gathering information and setting aside the effort to progress in the direction of a proper end.
CONCLUSION:
I am very glad that I studied this course which has helped me identify my learning preferences, strengths and weaknesses. I am gratefull to have covered most of the learning styles which is responsible for my growth in confidence level. All the group activities and the presentation I did has surely help me level up.
