VARK inventory learning style
March 2013
Introduction (1)
Purpose Report
The main idea of this report it is to know about the way I learn better using as an
example the VARK inventory, I mean what is the best way for me on achievement
something new. Although to know how our brain gets information of something and
how our brain processes that data according to develop a learning strategy style.
What does Vark mean?
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.
Why is important to know our personal learning style?
I understand that knowing our personal learning style help us to recognize the way
we learn better or the way through we understand something better, that´s help us
to work with the style that is suitable to our learning. Also knowing our personal
learning style makes easiest the way we study, learn, and perform something.
Test result and description of my learning style(3)
My score were:
Visual: 11
Aural:6
Read/Write:6
Kinesthetic:13
I have a multimodal (KV) learning preference.
2. According to the results that I got in the questionnaire, I have multimodal learning
preference, but I think I am mostly kinesthetic because if better for me learning by
doing. It is almost the same thing as a little child, because children learn in that
way, they learn seeing or watching someone else doing something it is a good way
to learn something new or get something new in or brain because it will be easiest
to remember and perform something, but also I am visual, that is mean I learn by
seeing, looking or watching something such as objects, forms, colors, designs,
pictures, diagrams, etc.
Nevertheless I have to take into account the Aural and Read/Write learning style
because there is a lack of potential learning on that area because I got 6 and I
think I have to improve that area on my learning style.
Besides that seeing the obtaining results I could say that I have a mixed
combination of potentialities of the learning style. Also being multimodal is an
advantage because I can adapt to different teachers’ styles.

Conclusion
In my opinion about the test I could say that it is a way to know rapidly the level in
which we learn something better taking into account those learning styles, aural
read/write, visual, kinesthetic, etc.
I agree, I think that results show my learning style in a 75% because I work and
learn things according to that way, visual and kinesthetic those are my learning
style. Also I often use those communicative activities in order to achieve my goals.
Actually I use those communicative activities and strategies to remember things
saw in class and of course visual things and objects help me to recognize what is
something related to another thing.
