  1. VARK Learning Assessment

  2. Visual Learners • Visual Learners tend to think in images, have talents in the visual arts, and have vivid imaginations (Learning Styles, 2007).

  3. Visual Learners Should • write it out (Learning Styles, 2007). • especially make use of pictures, posters, and slides to take in information (Fleming, 2011). • create flow charts to map out ideas (Fleming, 2011). • when taking notes, insert pictures and or symbols (Fleming, 2011). • underline and highlight text in different colors. • concentrate on diagrams, pictures, graphs, etc. in textbooks (Fleming, 2011).

  4. Visual Learners Should • use flashcards. • use a plastic cover with erasable markers to label diagrams/charts (Learning Styles, 2007). • study in quite place away from verbal disturbances (Learning Styles, 2007). • make their study areas visually appealing (Learning Styles, 2007).

  5. Aural Learners • Aural learners are excellent listeners, prefer to get information by listening, and love class discussions (Learning Styles, 2007).

  6. Aural Learners Should • sit close to the front of the class (Fleming, 2011). • take in information by listening to discussions and by discussing topics with others (Fleming, 2011). • record their notes and listen to them (Fleming, 2011). • expand their notes bytalking to others, read summarized notes aloud, and ask others to hear their understanding of a topic (Fleming, 2011).

  7. Aural Learners Should • create songs/rhymes to remember information (Learning Styles, 2007). • recite over and over (Learning Styles, 2007). • study by explaining ideas to others (Fleming, 2011). • imagine talking with the examiner and listen to their inner voice for answers (Fleming, 2011).

  8. Read/Write Learners • Read/Write learners learn best by reading and writing of course!

  9. Read/Write Learners Should • make lists (Fleming, 2011). • utilize dictionaries, glossaries, handouts (Fleming, 2011). • copy down notes verbatim(Fleming, 2011). • read additional sources. • use the Reader Response Method to engage with their textbooks.

  10. Read/Write Learners Should • write out words again and again (Fleming, 2011). • read notes silently again and again (Fleming, 2011). • rewrite ideas into their own words (Fleming, 2011). • organize visual information into sentences (Fleming, 2011).

  11. Kinesthetic Learners • use all of their senses- sight, touch, taste, smell, hearing- to take in information and learn through field trips, real life examples, hands-on approaches, and trial and error (Fleming, 2011).

  12. Kinesthetic Learners Should • put plenty of examples in their notes. • use models to study (Learning Styles, 2007). • skim through reading material to get a rough idea of what it’s about before reading for details (Learning Styles, 2007). • use a finger or bookmark when reading and trace letters and words to remember (Learning Styles, 2007). • use flashcards (Learning Styles, 2007).

  13. Kinesthetic Learners Should • move around to study or learn new things (study while walking around, on an exercise bike, molding a piece of clay) (Learning Styles, 2007). • tap a pencil, shake their feet, chew gum, hold onto something while learning/studying (Learning Styles, 2007). • listen to non-distracting music while studying (Learning Styles, 2007). • act things out (Learning Styles, 2007). • role play the exam situation (Fleming, 2011).
