Editor's Notes
- #2 Introduce myself. Upon taking the VARK Learning Styles quiz, I learned that my learning preference is multimodal, and that I learn best both visually and while reading or writing. I was always aware that I learned best by seeing something rather than hearing spoken words or touching an object, but I was not aware that I learned best in two different manners.
- #3 People with this learning style can lean one of two ways: either they need… or they learn… Multimodal learning can involve any of the four learning styles: Visual, Aural, Read/Write, and Kinesthetic. Over half of the population learns using more than one method and can have either two or three strong preferences. People with two or three strong preferences can pick and choose with their learning styles to obtain different kinds of information.
- #4 An example of this is when I meet someone for the first time. I am much more likely to remember their name if I see it written, rather than if I hear their name spoken aloud. When recalling the person’s name, I am able to visualize the written name from where I first saw it, and then store it into long-term memory.
- #5 I take notes in class to remember information. Writing things down makes it easier to recall information later and I can easily visualize data and details that has been written by me. Reading is also beneficial because I can remember what side of the page certain details were on and where on the page I first read it.
- #6 I have always been the kind of person that goes to books for knowledge. If I don’t understand something or am seeking out information, I pick up a book. I want to see it explained vs hearing it explained. A story that emphasizes my learning styles is when I took Statistics last year. The Professor instructed a flipped classroom instead of teaching math in the conventional manner that is seen at UAA. The flipped classroom is where homework is completed in class with the Professor there to help if needed and lectures are viewed outside of class in your own time. With this class, I had plenty of time to take notes, because I could start and stop the lectures as often as needed and this helped me remember definitions and how to complete math problems. The flipped classroom was also beneficial for my learning style because I could have one-on-one conversations with the Professor and ask questions on assignments.
- #7 I have it easy because my learning style makes me a traditional student where reading textbooks and taking notes is expected. Most professors make written instruction available for students, but they need to make all learning preferences accessible for students. If a student needs visuals or audio to remember or learn something, and it is not supplied, that student must then go out and learn on their own.
- #8 I am lucky because most teachers use some form of visual or written communication and I can therefore take advantage of their teaching style to accommodate my learning style.
- #9 This project has helped me better understand my learning style and has given me ideas on how to use it to benefit my college experience. Thank you!
