Reflection on your learning style

The Vark Questionaaire aims to find out something about peoples preferences for the way people work with information. Different people will have a preffered learning style and one part of that learning style is peoples preferences for the intake and output of ideas and information.

My results from the Vark Questionairre are as followed
  • Visual: 2
  • Aural: 9
  • Read/Write: 6
  • Kinesthetic: 1
As you can see from my results it shows that I am a Aural Learner which means that I prefer to listen to the intake and output of ideas and information.

I have to disagree with the findings of this Questionairre. I learn better from actually doing activities (Kinesthetic), reading books and writing up notes (Read/Write) and actually seeing the information and what has to be done (Visual). I would actually say the Aural Learning Style is my weakest point as sometimes I find it hard to listen for long peroids.

I am not sure that the Vark Questionnaire is a effective tool in evaluating your preferable learning styles as the Questions to be answered seemed to vague. However to be a effective learner you have to learn all the styles of learning and the Vark Questionnaire has made me re-evaluate my worst learning style(Aural as talked about above) and made me want to work on this weakness even though it said it was my Preferred Learning Style

  1. As mentioned in the class the Vark Questionnaire is purely a model, but it does make you question and evaluate how you learn.
