VARK Analysis Paper
http://vark-learn.com/the-vark-questionnaire/
Learning styles represent the different approaches to learning based on preferences, weaknesses,
and strengths. For learners to best achieve the desired educational outcome, learning styles must
be considered when creating a plan. Complete “The VARK Questionnaire,” located on the VARK
website, and then complete the following:
1. Click “OK” to receive your questionnaire scores.
2. Once you have determined your preferred learning style, review the corresponding link to
view your learning preference.
3. Review the other learning styles: visual, aural, read/write, kinesthetic, and multimodal
(listed on the VARK Questionnaire Results page).
4. Compare your current preferred learning strategies to the identified strategies for your
preferred learning style.
5. Examine how awareness of learning styles has influenced your perceptions of teaching
and learning.
In a paper (750-1,000 words), summarize your analysis of this exercise and discuss the overall
value of learning styles. Include the following:
1. Provide a summary of your learning style according the VARK questionnaire.
2. Describe your preferred learning strategies. Compare your current preferred learning
strategies to the identified strategies for your preferred learning style.
3. Describe how individual learning styles affect the degree to which a learner can
understand or perform educational activities. Discuss the importance of an educator
identifying individual learning styles and preferences when working with learners.
4. Discuss why understanding the learning styles of individuals participating in health
promotion is important to achieving the desired outcome. How do learning styles
ultimately affect the possibility for a behavioral change? How would different learning
styles be accommodated in health promotion?
