Motivation Style

           Motivation is the force that draws you to move toward something. It can come from a desire or a curiosity within you or can be from an external force urging you on. In either case, you make the decision to seize or to skip a chance to learn. Motivation styles vary for different situations and topics but nonetheless, you draw on them all the time, especially when you try to learn something challenging. If you can recognize your predominant motivational style you can identify the situations that best satisfy your needs. Likewise, you can't motivate anyone else. All you can do is invite them to learn.

My Motivation Style is Goal- Oriented

                  When I answered the questionnaire, I found out that I have a goal- oriented motivation style. My answers include: I am proud when I get things done, I mostly think about what's next, to relax I tend to rely on a consistently relaxing activity, I like to do things right away or on schedule, when online I like to search for specific information, projects should be finished on time, in school, i like to ask questions, I believe schedules keep me organized, I liked to be recognized for being organized, neat, and on time, in terms of completing things I finish what I start. 

         The result shows that I would probably reach my goals through a direct and obvious route. Now that I learned my motivation style, I will improve my skills to learn more in French language. As a goal-oriented person I will see to it that my goal to study and deeply learn the French language would be achieved. I will make schedules for my study habits, I will  make assignments on time and be able to finish it, I will pass requirements ahead of time, I will organize the topics to be studied to be able to grasp the lessons well and I will enjoy the learning process as I study French. 

Reflection on Learning Style

Learning styles refer to the ways you prefer to approach new information. Each of us learns and processes information in our own special ways, though we share some learning patterns, preferences, and approaches.




       My Primary Learning Style is Visual.

              When I answered questionnaire to assess my preferred learning style. I found out that I have a visual learning style. I answered it with description that applies to me. My answers include: When I visualize I see vivid, detailed pictures in my thoughts. When I relax I watch TV, see a play, visit an exhibit, or go to a movie. When I spell, I envision the word in my mind or imagine what the word looks like when written. When I do something new, I seek out demonstrations, pictures, or diagrams. When I assemble an object, I look at the picture first and then, maybe, read the directions. And when I interpret someone's mood, I examine  facial expressions.

                Now that I know my learning style, I will improve my skills to facilitate my French language learning. I will be attentive to the visual illustrations in the Alterego French Lessons and be able to learn more. I will visualize vividly the detailed pictures in my thought and be able to organize it. As I read the lessons, I will associate the familiar terms  to what I learned before and look for the unknown terms in the dictionary. I hope I can improve my learning style as I continue to study French 10&11.
