Information related to VARK learning style and identification of my learning style
While the existing research has found that matching teaching methods to learning styles had no influence on educational outcomes, the concept of learning styles remains extremely popular. There are many different ways of categorizing learning styles including Kolb's model and the Jungian learning styles. Neil Fleming's VARK model is one of the most popular representations. In 1987, Fleming developed an inventory designed to help students and others learn more about their individual learning preferences.In Fleming's model, sometimes referred to VARK learning styles, learners are identified by whether they have a preference for visual learning (pictures, movies, diagrams), auditory learning (music, discussion, lectures), reading and writing (making lists, reading textbooks, taking notes), or kinesthetic learning (movement, experiments, hands-on activities).
Referred to as SWOT (“Study Without Tears”), Flemings provides advice on how students can use their learning modalities and skills to their advantage when studying for an upcoming test or assignment.
Visual SWOT Strategies
Utilize graphic organizers such as charts, graphs and diagrams.
Redraw your pages from memory.
Replace important words with symbols or initials.
Highlight important key terms in corresponding colors.
Aural SWOT Strategies
Record your summarized notes and listen to them on tape.
Talk it out. Have a discussion with others to expand upon your understanding of a topic.
Reread your notes and/or assignment out loud.
Explain your notes to your peers/fellow “aural” learners.
Read/Write SWOT Strategies
Write, write and rewrite your words and notes.
Reword main ideas and principles to gain a deeper understanding.
Organize diagrams, charts, and graphic organizers into statements.
Kinesthetic SWOT Strategies
Use real life examples, applications and case studies in your summary to help with abstract concepts.
Redo lab experiments or projects.
Utilize pictures and photographs that illustrate your idea.
And I have a Multimodal Learning Preference, which includes Visual,Read and Kinesthetic ( VRK )
