VARK Assessment & Analysis: Which style of learning is ideal? Cristina Sarabando Grand Canyon University: NRS-429V Family Centered Health Promotion Professor Rhonda Johnston PhD, BC-ANP, BC-FNP October 6, 2013 Which Style of Learning is Ideal? The VARK analysis consists of four learning styles: Visual, Aural, Kinesthetic, and Read/Write with a dimension that consists of a mixture of those four modes called Multimodal. Most people have results that concluded in a Multimodal learning preference, according to Neil Fleming (2011) this makes up the vast majority. It has been approximated that 60% of the general population is categorized in this learning preference. Results provided in the VARK questionnaire interpret a person’s preference and is not necessarily focusing on their strong points but rather their inclination and fondness of a particular learning style. Learning strategies of a multimodal (VARK) learning preference: Multimodal learning styles differ in regards to the emphasis put on each particular learning strategy. My preferred style is the (VARK) learning preference. No particular stress is put on each of the four strategies of learning and places me in the second group within the multimodal VARK category which has no particular emphasis in regards to the chosen learning styles, but applies all four modes in combination. When making learning decisions and presenting materials to others the (VARK) learner is uncertain about any learning that comes in only one way and the need to reinforce it by adding other modes of input or output are deemed a necessity. VARK learners tend to gather ideas from numerous resources provided to them comprising what they learned from books, professor's oral lectures, discussions and questions during class and a hands on approach found during labs and clinical to feel complete confident in what they had learned.
