Abstract
The VARK Learning Styles was conducted by MS. X to describe her learning style and preferred learning strategies. The following will compare the learning strategies to the preferred learning style. It notes changes that need to be made to her study habits. Finally, it summarizes an analysis of the assessment.
Learning Strategies and Styles
There are four main kinds of learning strategies according to the VARK learning style and they are: visual, aural, reading, and kinesthetic. After completing a questionnaire on the VARK learning website, one is able to know the style in which they learn best and understand in which manner they can grasp what is being taught to them. Consider, for example, an artist and a carpenter. An artist paints and a carpenter is someone who builds wooden structures. Each one is skilled in his own profession, but suppose they both decide to take on each other’s tasks. It would take them longer to produce a finished work and the quality might not be as great as it would have been had they stuck to their own talents. Another possibility is also that the carpenter is capable of performing the work of the artist. In chosen plan, it might be both the talents to make one product. Learning styles may be very much similar. If you know where you are strong you can always nurture and nourish your learning capabilities and the power of comprehending the information given to you, helping you to improve your grades.
Questionnaire Results
The results of the VARK questionnaire are: visual: 14, kinesthetic: 11, aural:7, read-write:5. It is all right to assume that visual and kinesthetic methods are more skilled and chosen methods of learning, followed by aural and reading—writing. People who adapt a combination of two or more study strategy categories are defined as multimodal. VARK study reveals that almost sixty percentages of the people belong to this category.
