...VARK Analysis Paper Grand Canyon University Family-Centered Health Promotion NRS-429V February 12, 2015 VARK Analysis Paper Learning styles do not dictate a person’s intelligence or their abilities to learn; instead it explains why some learner’s process information acquired differently than others. How a student retains knowledge depends on how that learner comprehends and process the information. VARK learning analysis quiz and learning style is a study to determine one’s learning style. VARK is an acronym for visual learning style, auditory learning style, reading/writing learning style and kinesthetic learning style. This paper discuses all the different learning styles but focuses on the Kinesthetic learning style and strategies that may offer an easier way to retain and enjoy any learning experience After taking the VARK learning analysis quiz it was determined that this authors learning style is more kinesthetic with a score of 14. “Kinesthetic learning is a learning style in which learning takes place by the students carrying out physical activities, rather than listening to a lecture or watching demonstrations,”("Kinesthetic learning," 2010, para. 1). Kinesthetic intelligence makes up about five percent of the population and was originally coupled with having tactile abilities or using the body to do something.

Browse through the lectures/lessons from the course to refresh your memory. While you’re watching the movie, have a notebook in front of you. As you see scenes that cause you to think about lessons, jot down a bit about the scene and what lesson, concept, or theory came to mind when you watched it. When you’re done watching the movie, go back to your lectures and think more critically about these connections and make your notes more complete. Now what? Once you’ve done this, you have a basis for your paper. Now it’s time to formalize it a bit. Below are the requirements of the paper.

...VARK Analysis Paper Family Centered Health Promotion VARK Analysis Paper VARK is a commonly used learning style that describes the way people take in information, store, process and recall what they have learned. Since people are individuals, they have their own type of learning. VARK is an ACRONYM that stands for (Visual, Aural, Read/Write and Kinesthetic). The purpose of this paper is to analyze, describe and list my preferred learning styles and strategies using the VARK analysis. As this assignment demands, I completed the VARK questionnaire and the results I obtained are listed below. This was my first time filling out the VARK questionnaire and it was an eye opening exercise for me. It reminded me of what I always suspected of my learning style but did not have any scientific evidence to back my suspicions until now. My scores are as follows Visual 2 Aural 6 Read/Write 15 Kinesthetic 10 The above results of my VARK analysis showed that I fall with in the multimodal study preference. Multimodal is a combination or choice of two or more strategies. About 60 % of the people have the multimodal study strategy. This means that these types of people have multiple strong points in areas of reading, writing, aural and kinesthetic strategies. The people that fall within the multimodal study strategy have the ability to meticulously gather information and multitask in their daily lives. The highest score I obtained is the Read/Write learning style with a score of 15. I...

...VARK Analysis Paper Franklin C. Jones, Jr. Grand Canyon University Family-Centered Health Promotion NRS-429V Leslie Jennings March 31, 2013 VARK Analysis Paper The process of learning can be accomplished in many different ways; every individual has their own learning style, which we will explore through. In order for an individual to be a successful learner they must be familiar with their own learning style, whether they have learned this through trial and error or by taking an assessment such as the VARK questionnaire. The VARK questionnaire developed in 1987 and is a tool that people can use to identify their own individual learning style. Consisting of sixteen different questions, based upon different learning scenarios, your answers are evaluated to establish which type of a learner you are. There are four types of learners based on the questionnaire, which are: visual, aural, read/write, and kinesthetic or someone who scores similarly in two or more areas is defined as multimodal. Based on the VARK, visual learners “want the whole picture” and they “are often swayed by the way something looks” (Fleming & Mills, 1992). Visual learners prefer to look at pictures and graphs instead of listening or writing. Aural learners, according to the VARK, want to hear the content. The written word is not as valuable to an aural learner as content they hear (Fleming & Mills, 1992). VARK read/write learners “believe the meaning are within the words, so any talk is OK but...

...What is your learning style? Since I graduated from high school, I have already known the kind of learner I was from how I study for tests to how I comprehend in lectures or discussions in class. Indeed, I am an auditory learner because of the information given after the learning style quiz. An auditory learner is best at listening rather than reading or by visually learning. At first, I was shocked that I was an auditory learner because I thought my results would come out as a multi-sensory learner instead since I “thought” I was good at learning in all ways. But, I know the best “preferred” way I learn is by hearing information. After taking the quiz, I realized I was more of an auditory learner than I thought I was. The results of the quiz described me at most of the main points. If I would have a big test to study for, I am not the best at reading silently or reading quickly while I study. I take my time to read and I do read out loud at a quiet tone, so I can actually comprehend what I am reading rather than reading it quickly and forgetting everything faster. Like most people, I do forget about what I read a few minutes later, so to help me remember important facts I always annotate and write side notes. The other learning styles I have is writing down important facts on index cards and testing myself by reading each definition or fact out loud more than once. From one the questions in the quiz it asked how I memorize a phone number from seeing it and I answered the...

...VARK Analysis Paper Pamela J Moran Grand Canyon University: NUR-429V Teaching and Learning Styles January 10, 2013 VARK is a questionnaire that will provide information about a person which can assist them in a more effective style of learning. This system was developed in 1987 by Neil Fleming and is a very popular model (Cherry). In this model learners are identified by the different preferences they have for learning. The styles are Visual (seeing), Aural (hearing), Read/Write (books, notes) and Kinestheitc (hands on activities, movement, experiments) (Cherry). Description of My Learning Style Listening to lectures and taking detailed notes for later review was a very good way to absorb the information presented. Having an actual hard copy of the information that would be available for review prior to an exam seemed to keep the information fresh. With the online learning available today the approach is a bit different. The lecture is written out and available to review for the duration of the course and can be printed out, key areas highlighted and outlined. My learning style is hands on and taking an active part in the physical class room. While taking these current courses online the style is focused mostly on Read/Write Learning Style. Preferred Learning Strategies • Reviewing the syllabus at the beginning of the course for an overview of what is expected. • Reading all of the assigned course material and taking notes, making lists or...

...modern times. In 16th century AD, Niccolo Machiavelli put forth theories on how a prince should acquire and maintain his state. There have been numerous other strategists of their time, each offering and teaching various leadership principles; some of which are still relevant today.

This paper will summarize the salient points identified in the article titled The New Psychology of Leadership, by Stephen D. Reicher, Michael J. Platow and S. Alexander Haslam published in the August 2007 issue of Scientific American Mind. The author will outline the relevance of this ‘new’ theory in the context of a current leadership role as well as the potential application of this leadership theory and the applicability within the expansion of a leadership role. The paper will conclude with key takeaways relevant to any leadership theory and its application.
