VARK Reflection

My results of the VARK questionaire and reflection on each are:

Visual - score - 3

When I previously completed this questionaie a few years ago I was mainly a visual learner. I was surprised to find that the visual style of learning is no longer my preferred learning style. Although I do still like to use tecniques such as highlighting sections of my notes in different colours. Also the use of videos, pictures and graphs do strengthen my learning ability.

Aural - score - 1

From this score I can clearly see that I could improve on this style. Or at least be aware that I will not intake information from listening on its own. To improve this I need to read and take part in discussions.

Reading and Writing - score 5

I have looked at the VARK website to gain an understanding of how to use this style to my advantage. I now know to intake information I need to use lists, headings, dictionaries, handouts and notes. Other techniques include re-reading and re-writing my notes, and turning diagrams and charts into words.

Kinesthetic - score 7

Being my strongest learning style I am pleased to know that I will learn most when doing things, as that is what I enjoy. It is in my nature to always want to have ago myself and experience things first hand. To intake information I should use laboratories and field trips and lecturers that give real life examples.
