VARK Reflections

According to my VARK questionnaire, my preferred learning style is Read/Write. I would agree with this assessment, because I am usually most comfortable with learning when it involves skimming texts, studying books and taking notes, for which I nearly always simply write everything I need to know down- the act of writing nearly always allows me to recall most of my notes without actually reading them. This contrasts slightly with previous learning style tests I have taken, all of which classified me as a visual learner- whilst I think that this is true to some degree, as I do also find graphs, diagrams and other visual ways of representing data very helpful, I think that read/write is probably a more accurate category. Auditory is my weakest style, and I would say also my least favourite, but I find that most learning is not particularly auditory, so I am not particularly concerned by this. If I wanted to improve my auditory learning however, I would probably focus on my ability to retain information I hear, without necessarily having to write it down in the process.

  1. O.K reflection. How about taking notes in class rather than just rely on retained info at the time.Perhaps short note taking could help you in this and other area's and save so much time later on.Agree or NOT?
