VARK reflection

After filling VARK questionnaire the result was that I am a visual learner and it did not surprise me. For me it is the best way to remember any information. I remember a funny situation from school: If I did not remember the text which I was reading, I could say on which page was it, which pictures was on this page and through some visual information I could try to explain the sense of the text.
Also, I have got many points for reading and writing. Maybe it is because the last time I am spending a lot of time doing this and it really helps me to remember something. I often use dictionaries and also write down new words from different languages which I am learning. Anyway, to remember something I need to write it, only through this process I can effectively learn the information.
I have got some points for kinesthetic way of learning and it is good, I like this style because it is the best way to enjoy learning. It is nice to have visual and emotional impressions which could become unforgettable memories, especially when we are working in groups.
My least favourite style is aural. I find it quite difficult to sit and listen the information. I am not attentive to it because it does not attract me. It is much better to have a lecture in active form. I like when teachers show some slides, diagrams or make some questionnaires where we can take a part. So, it has to be in a game form. I find it interesting and easier to remember.
In fact, what really surprised me that I did not get any point for aural way of learning. It is very strange because I thought that I could get 1 or 2 points for it. So, I have to improve this style and try to concentrate more when I am listening something. Maybe it would be useful to buy a sound recorder, then I could listen the information twice or three times more.

  1. A good reflection on your learning style - you obviously know your personality and how you concentrate to learn.
