Kinesthetic learners tend to experiment and use a more hands on approach for learning. Some learning methods that the kinesthetic learner will use to retain information would be role playing, verbalizing with…
R’s learning style is mildly kinesthetic learning. R’s VARK questionnaire results were visual: 9, aural: 4, read/write: 5, kinesthetic: 14. Kinesthetic learners learn best by moving their bodies. These types of learners are often called as hyperactive as children and have good coordination, sense of timing and strong body movement. One other thing that is unique about the kinesthetic learner is that they often tap, wiggle and move their legs when they sit. Kinesthetic learners are excellent in working well with their hands. They are good at sculpting, repairing, and art works. A kinesthetic learner tends to use all their senses – touch, sight, smell, taste and hearing. They prefer to experiment, use trial and error method and also use more hands on approach for acquiring knowledge.…
The learning style that I received as a result of completing the VARK questionnaire was the kinesthetic learning preference. Kinesthetic learning which is also known as, tactile learning, is a learning style in which learning takes place by physically doing the activity rather than just watching a demonstration or listening to a lecture ("Kinesthetic learning," 2013, para. 1). Kinesthetic learners tend to be tactile in their learning behaviors and are commonly thought of as “doers”. As a result, when they are doing an activity, they tend be learning in the process or discovering ideas of the activity itself. They can remember important things in relation to what they are doing. Some kinesthetic learners struggle with listening and reading. Kinesthetic learner like hands on learning activities, thus, do better in activities ranging from chemistry experiments, acting, sports activities, art, etc. Learning occurs in this group when they can express thought, ideas or concepts by using their body.…
Learning is a challenging and dynamic concept to develop by the human brain. It allows us to challenge ourselves and our capacity to accomplish our goals. There is a variety of styles that can be used to retain and learn information. The Vark Test was created to help an individual in their learning styles and adopt new ways that can help improve as well. The scores received after taking the Vark Test were as follow Visual, Aural and Read/Write 5 and kinesthetic 4 known as a multimodal.…
Through the VARK analysis this author was discovered to have multimodal learning style with a slight preference of Read/Write and kinesthetic learning styles (see Appendix). The kinesthetic learner is a learner whom retains information best by involving as much physical activity into the lesson as is allowed. Physical touch is important to learning new ideas and concepts. It is typical for a kinesthetic learner to involve as many of the five senses, touch, hear, smell, taste, and sight, as possible when learning. The experience had when the lesson is taught is what engages the kinesthetic learner in the information. Physical comfort, drawing pictures, making models, sample tests and making note cards, are all tools a kinesthetic learner can use to increase the success of a study session. Kinesthetic learners do not learn well with limited activity or when lectures are given with no physical movement allowed.…
Kinesthetic learners are also known as tactile learners. Fleming describes these learners as “movers” these learners prefer to use real experience and the use of real things when learning. Kinesthetic learners use pictures and real on screen methods. “Movers” are described as learners that have a difficult time sitting still for periods of time and tend to move from subject to subject. Kinesthetic learners often focus on more than one topic at a time and have the need to grasp concrete subjects. Hands on approach to learning is important, they learn by feeling the subject. Memory is better when muscles and skin contact are used, more the better. Small notions are associated with K learning, drawing and the swing of a leg will assist with learning ("UVU,"…
based upon the answers to the questions I was asked, I was deemed to have a multimodal…
This exercise has taught me a lot on my way of thinking, concentrating, and contact with people. I never knew that these learning styles determine how I perceive my everyday functions. Until now I always thought of myself being a Visual learner, I have to see it in order to understand it. I am a see it, to believe it type of woman. After taking the self-test and reviewing the chart, my way of thinking is much broader. I do all three of the learning styles. I had to sit back and say; am I weird? Am I just able to learn, all different Ways.…
According to the preferred learning strategies for kinesthetic learners, the following changes would improve the learning style that I exhibit. First, it is important to take short breaks within the study period. Kinesthetic learners have short attention span, therefore, the need for the frequent breaks. It is also crucial to reconstruct lecturer’s note using words that are familiar and easily…
I think that I am a kinesthetic learner, because I can't sit still for long. I need to move around or I don't learn as well. When I am able to feel and use all my senses I learn better. When I study I will tend to tap my pencil, or I will tap my foot. I am a poor speller, and I use flashcards to study. I learn better when I am able to see things, and I learn better when I move around. I learn by doing something, So I learn by moving, doing, and touching. We also called tactile learners. To conclude these are the ways I study, and what type of learner I…

Health promotion includes identifying obstacles, teaching as well as encouraging and educating positive health behaviors. It is promoting awareness so health care professionals will empower individuals they come in contact with, either in the community, and elsewhere. They must strive to give uninterrupted attention and time to educate which will contribute to effective learning. However, health promotion goes beyond providing health teaching it will also increases the vitality and stimulate a sense of well-being.…
I usually think outside of the box and I have a ton of energy. I like a…
This block provides a brief overview of learning styles for Information and Library Management (ILM) students. It contributes to the curriculum, aims and learning outcomes of an Information Literacy (IL) module for Masters level courses in information and library management. The value of this block will be the contribution that it makes to the ILM student knowledge and understanding of how different learning styles will influence the learning processes of the user. This will impact on their IL skills and capabilities for using a diverse range of information sources. Support for pedagogic methods that address individual learning styles has proved effective across all sectors of education. This approach will be useful for information professionals to influence how they design and deliver information literacy sessions for their users. The aims and learning outcomes of this block are listed below:…
From an early age I found learning hard and in my early educational years I…
