How I Learn Best

On a whim, I gave my middle school students this survey about how they learn best.  While I'm sure this wasn't exactly scientific, the results were a bit eye-opening.

Top results:

  • Games: 58% of students put it in the top 1 or 2 answers.
  • Doing: 29%
  • Experiments: 24%
  • Watching: 24%
Lowest results:
  • Reading online: 0% of students put it in the top 1 or 2 answers.
  • Reading a book: 5%
  • Lecture: 5%
  • Practice: 10%
Which of these learning activities best fits how you teach in your class? How will these results affect how you'll teach next week?

Feel free to copy the link and give the survey to your class.
