VARK Questionnaire

The VARK questionnaire is designed to find out how you learn best. It has 13 questions that are answered by circling your preference on a specific situation. You can circle more than one option if an answer doesn't meet your perception, but asked to answer between 10 to 13 questions to give a good reading. Each answer represents a specific type of learning and that is shown on the scoring chart. Simply circle the answers on the scoring chart and add up what your preferences.

When completing the questionnaire I scored the most points in the Kinesthetic style of learning. I scored 5 out of 14 choices as on one question I selected more than one option. This doesn't really surprise me as I like to learn through experiment and to try out things and correct accordingly. This is in certain areas though, as I am also a visual type of learner as I find it easier to see how something is done and then go experiment.

I scored the least on Aural where I scored 2. This is mainly because I can't listen to information and take it in and write at the same time. I seem to listen to the next bit and forget what was previously said, and therefore is my least favourite style of learning.

The techniques I will need to acquire in tackling this problem is to look at deep learning. I will have to apply myself to investigate what I am learning by doing extra research and printing off lecture notes ready, meaning I can write less as the information is already supplied. I shall also need to look at converging which is thinking and doing, as stated in Kolb's 1984 learning styles.
