The document provides feedback on a paper discussing learning styles, emphasizing the importance of using the APA 7th edition format and including a clear thesis and references. It highlights the significance of understanding different learning styles, such as visual, read/write, and kinaesthetic, to enhance the efficacy of teaching and learning processes. Additionally, it stresses the necessity of incorporating literature to support claims and the impact of learning styles on behavior change in education.

1. 1
Learning styles Comment by Jerina, Lori: Please review the
correct formatting of an APA paper in 7th edition format. The
sample paper and template will guide you.
The title starts 4 spaces down from the top. There are title
elements that need to be removed and fixed.

Comment by Jerina, Lori: The title is placed at the top of
the second page. Then the text begins. Avoid the extra spacing.

2. Be sure you are using headings to have a clear introduction and
thesis and then addressing the rubric elements.
Learning styles are strategies that are used to ensure that the
learner understands. Using more than one learning style can
increase effectiveness. A preferred learning ng style is a way
that a learner learns the best. The three different learning styles
include visual, write/read, kinaesthetic, aural and multimodal.
For teaching or learning to be effective, it is essential to
understand the student's preferred learning style. Comment by
Jerina, Lori: A clear thesis is needed. See the sample paper.
The purpose of this paper is…… ( then concisely say what you
will be writing about)
My current preferred learning style, according to the VARK
questionnaire, is read/write. This style is also called the
learning second visual modality. In this style, learners absorb
and retain most of the information through writing and reading
text. Reading is possible through the available materials, such
as lecture notes, textbooks and essays. Learning can be done
through writing this information. A learner who prefers this
mode best understands and stores information in the form of
text. Learners and teachers commonly use this form because
many people easily understand it. Comment by Jerina, Lori:
You did identify your top strategy, but what are your VARK
scores? Some expansion could be provided.
Moreover, many people seek after a person who can read and
write. Project leaders, employers and institutions seek people
who can read and write because it is easy to learn and
communicate through this method. Modalities like visual, aural
and kinaesthetic are also suitable learning modes that can be
combined with the preferred modality to get better results.
Comment by Jerina, Lori: Please cite this. Where did this
come from or is it your opinion? We only want information
from the literature to show we are looking to the evidence

3. My awareness of the styles of learning has affected my
perceptions of teaching and learning in a good way. By knowing
the techniques and their strengths, I can choose an approach that
I want to use to get the best out of the learning session
(Chaudhry et al., 2020). Also, by knowing that people prefer
different styles, I can use this information to adopt the best
style when teaching according to my students preferred mode of
learning. Moreover, knowing the techniques can enable me to
revaluate my learning strategies and adopt a better model that
will allow me to benefit the most from the learning session.
Also, by knowing what my brain understands most, I can
communicate with my instructors on the mode I prefer.
Learning styles are essential because they guide a person on
how best they can learn. In my VARK questionnaire, while
read/ write takes the first position, kinaesthetic takes the second
position. This means that by touching or manipulating a
material, I can learn. This means making things with my own
hands makes me understand better and be able to remember. My
strategy for this method is to write. By writing something, I can
manipulate them, and this gives me a better understanding. By
writing the text sticks to my mind, I can also remember because
I was in conduct with the piece where I wrote. Making visuals is
also another strategy of reading. Having graphs, timelines and
maps give me the ability to remember most and to understand
better. Other strategies include using my fingers and having
index cards (Parashar et al., 2019). The strategy that I can adopt
in my preferred style, read/write, includes having notes lists,
words, and texts. These materials help a read/write learner to
understand better.
Moreover, writing is also a strategy that can be used in the
kinaesthetic style. This means that when these two styles are
used together, it is possible to use writing as a strategy. Talks
and discussions are other good strategies that are helpful in
reading/writing learners. During these talks, ideas are
exchanged, and if notes are taken, it is possible to remember the
concepts more accessible. In addition discussing may feel like

4. someone is reading an idea loudly to you. This means it is
possible to remember easily.
Learning styles affect the learner's understanding and how the
learner performs educational activities. Approaches to learning
presented by the types are based on the learner's preference,
strengths and weaknesses (Stirling, 2017). When a teaching plan
is being created, it is crucial to have the learner’s choice in
mind to ensure that they benefit from the style included in the
plan. The type used to a learner is very important because it
determines the amount of understanding the learner will have
acquired at the end of the learning session. If the wrong
combination of styles is, used, learners may not understand at
all or may understand a little hence their performance is
decreased. Comment by Jerina, Lori: While good points,
what does the literature say? This could be expanded more
An educator must identify individual learning preferences and
styles when dealing with learners. Learner’s morale is boosted
because their choices are met. When the instructor is aware of
the learning preferences of the learners, it is possible to use
those styles. Learners understand the most and grasp a lot of
content when the instructor uses their preferred style (Bokhari
et al., 2019). The learners do not lose interest quickly because
they follow what is being taught, and most importantly, they
understand.
Understanding the learning styles for people in health
promotion is essential. When the learning style is assessed,
focus can be shifted to these styles and the correct teaching
strategy adopted to improve motivation and make the learning
more effective. Desired results are therefore achieved (Zhu et
al., 2018). Learning styles affect behavioural change because,
through education, people can retain information that can
influence change in their behaviour. If information is not
understood, there is the possibility that there will be no
behavioural change. Learning styles, therefore, influence
behavioural change because, through them, knowledge is
understood.

5. In health promotion, engaging learners in a conversation to
discuss their preferred styles can accommodate different
learning styles. When diverse learners propose different health
promotion learning styles, the instructor can combine the most
preferred styles with improving effectiveness.

6. Thank you for your paper. See my comments and corrections as
well as the grading rubric. You did a good job reflecting on how
learn best, and did identify your VARK assessment results. The
other elements needed some expansion. Be sure that you are
looking to the literature to support your statements. You do
have some extensive formatting to fix and need to use headings
to show organization in your paper. A clear introduction, thesis
and conclusion is needed as well as a correct reference page as
well.
