INTRODUCTION

The objective of this report is to let you know the relevance of the VARK

INVENTORY LEARNING STYLE project, which gives you an idea about yourself; it could be

used to understand your boss, colleagues, relatives, co-workers, customers, teachers,

partners, your clients and yourself. This is a short inventory that has been well received due

to its dimensions understood and its practical application. It has been of great help to

understand each other and assist people to learn more effectively in various situations.

What is VARK?

VARK is a questionnaire that provides users with a profile of their learning

preferences. These preferences are about the ways that they want to take-in and give-out

information. I had the opportunity to know my learning style. And I need to improve some

important areas like visual and kinesthetic in the visual category means that I am lacking

potential in that area as a learning style. And kinesthetic mean that I need to development

more the senses end combine the others learning style.

The test result and the description of your learning styleThe VARK Questionnaire results.

My scores were:

Visual : 10

Aural : 9

Read / write : 7

Kinesthetic : 6

I have a multimodal (VARK) learning preference.

Multimodal Study Strategies

The multimodal style of learning means that I have a mixed combination of

potentialities of the learning styles. The 6 in the kinesthetic category means that I am

lacking potential in that area as a learning style. But I have a vary balance learning style.

One advantage of being multimodal is that I can adapt to different teachers styles;

so I could be effective in different circumstances and environment. I could switch to the

teachers way of teaching because I have many resources to understand and communicate

the information.

According to my score, READ/WRITE category the 7 in the read/write category is

the highest which means that I need to apply more strategies of learning and communicating

from that category; but, I understand that I could use strategies from the other styles.

According to my score, AURAL category, the 9 in the aural category is very high

which mean that I need to apply more strategies of learning meaning that I have the ability

to listen And a have good communication.

According to my score the KINESTHETIC one, 6 in the kinesthetic category means

that I am lacking potential in that area as a learning style and I need to develop more my

senses and combine the other learning styles.

According to my score the VISUAL STUDY STRATEGY which is the one where I got

10 my highest score I like to work more with pictures, charts, maps; I am more into creative

style learning.

Conclusion:

I consider this test very interesting because it measures four perceptualpreferences: visual (V), aural (A), read/write (R), and kinesthetic (K) in which it is useful in

defining the style of learning. Most students represent the general level of intellectual

functioning as lower than, average, in some cases even bordering mental disability.

According to my results I agree with it, in the visual category it was 10 this means

that I am potentially good in that area as a learning style. In kinesthetic my score was 6

which means that I am lacking potential in that area as a learning style and I need to

improve more my senses end combine the other learning styles.

I consider that these learning styles are important and can used by the teacher in a

classroom, to measure the intellectual level on students and to know the mental abilities or

disabilities.
