...VARK Analysis Paper Sara Currell Grand Canyon University Family Centered Health Promotion NRS-429V Hortense Turner May 3, 2013 VARK Analysis Paper The VARK questionnaire, designed by Flemming in is a tool to provide scores relating to prefeences for learning. The author of this paper, Sara Currell, completed the online questionnaire and received scores in the following categories: Visual (13), Aural (10), Read/Write (13), and Kinesthetic (12). Since VARK is about one preference for taking in and putting out information, according to Sara’s scores she has a multi-modal approach., which is the most popular result. The multi-modal preferenece may be placed in two group;, the context specific approach and whole sense approach. Sara’s results indicate a score with three – four similar score which indeicates a whole sense approach. In addition those who have a total VARK score greater than 30, (Sara has 48) tend to use their preferences in combination, needing all their preferred modes to get a good understanding (flemming) This preference employs the use of each category decriminatley before coming to a decision or understanding of a learning situation. The multimodal learner needs a broader slection of information input and takes longer to leanr or make a decision, since a variety of perspectives may be utilized. This group may get bored or frustrated with just one teaching style presented to them. When considering online learning this may be a challenging environment...

...Literacy Skills in Children from Low-Income Families In American society, education is considered by many to be an equalizing force for people from all walks of life. It allows the nation’s best and brightest to distinguish themselves from their peers through intellectual merit - at least in theory. Unfortunately, the reality of the situation does not live up to the ideal, especially for children from low income families. Children who are already growing up with the disadvantages of poverty are further hindered by underfunded and ineffectual primary schooling, setting them even further behind middle and upper class children. Before beginning a discussion of the factors or strategies contributing to early literacy, it is important to first establish that there is in fact a discrepancy between low-income children and their more affluent peers in the first place. A review of the research literature is required to lay certain inaccurate stereotypes to rest, such as the notion that poor children are simply lazier students, and do not face additional difficulties with the acquisition of literacy skills. A comprehensive empirical study by Babuder et al (2014) explores the relationship between poverty and reading skills in children, with the results being unanimously negative. The study goes beyond assessing the reading skills of the children, and measures the basic phonological and semantic skills needed for reading comprehension. The results suggest that poor children exhibit major...

Poverty is seen as a relative concept, and the view is taken that we should not be considering one South African poverty problem, but rather strategies for developing the metropolitan, urban and rural poor households. The households have been further grouped into quintiles according to their incomes. In my quest to answer how likely trends are going to change, I will give an analysis of a broad range of...

...How technology is changing today’s classrooms Technology is enabling multi-modal teaching, changing curricula and spawning rich forms of online research and collaboration. Nearly 60% of survey respondents say that professors will soon teach in more than one medium. When asked to compare different communications technologies, 52% of survey respondents state that online collaboration tools would make the greatest contribution in terms of improving educational quality over the next five years—the top response—while 48% point to the dynamic delivery of content and software that supports individually paced learning. Sophisticated learning-management systems and enhanced video and presentation tools are among other innovations that respondents say are likely to have a profound effect on the academic experience. It is interesting to note that despite the growing array of technology-enabled teaching tools available, nearly three-quarters of participants say that the greatest potential benefit of technology is something far more straightforward—namely, the expanded access to educational and reference resources that it provides. According to the survey results, online-collaboration tools, software that supports individually paced learning and learning-management systems are among the communications technologies most expected to improve academics over the next five years. Web 2.0 technologies such as wikis, instant messaging and social networking—which have been influential in improving...

...VARK ANALYSIS There are four different ways of learning, which differ from one person to another, and this is based on one’s level of understanding. Vark was developed by Niel Fleming and Charles Bowel which is a tool that shows the preferred method of learning by individuals. The four methods of learning are: Visual, Aural, Read/write and Kinesthetic. After completion of the questioner, this learner scored the following- Visual: 2. Aural; 1. Read/write: 10 and Kinesthetic: 4. This learner had the highest score from read/write which goes to show that this is his preferred learning style. This learner has a visual learning score of 2, this learner tends to make use of charts, and diagram to learn. As a nurse, this learner will prefer to use the diagram of the heart to teach their hypertensive patients on the disease process of the heart to help improve patients’ understanding. This learner also likes to read aloud and join the group discussion, they tend to understand their lectures more as they verbalize their lecture. Aural method is scored low here by this learner. Here the learner uses sounds, music and to help with understanding, this learner prefers to record their notes and will listen to the recordings as much as possible. They also like to memorize their notes or talk to somebody about it. According to aural study strategy by VARC, It is recommended for these learners to study their notes aloud in order to understand the concept. Read and write is scored highest...

...Coca cola water water everywhere… INTRODDUCTION: When we hear the name Coca-Cola we might not instantly think of water. However Coca-Cola Amatil's brand Mount Franklin is the number-one brand of bottled water in Australia. In a market crowded with hundreds of competitors, Mount Franklin and the Pump range of products account for more than one-quarter of all bottled water sales in Australia. Coca-Cola Amatil (CCA) is the local Coca-Cola licensee, manufacturer and bottler operating in Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, Indonesia and Papua New Guinea. Coca-Cola is continually striving for growth in this Pacific region. A core objective of the company is to become the supplier of choice for carbonated and non-carbonated beverages. The company has also set a goal to expand in the health and wellbeing segment, or market category. The non-alcoholic drink market consists of different product categories, the main ones being carbonated beverages (both sugared and sugar-free), water, sports drinks, energy drinks, juices and fruit drinks. Over the past two decades the growth in the market share in Australia of diet drinks, bottled waters, sports drinks, energy and lifestyle drinks and other sugar-free, non alcoholic drinks has been steadily increasing. In particular sales of bottled water have increased markedly over the last ten years while the proportional share of carbonated sugared drinks has been falling. In Australia in 2006, CCA enjoyed a 58 percent market share of carbonated...

...RESEARCH QUESTIONS 1. What other products are similar to bamboo charcoal fabric? 2. How does bamboo charcoal fabric help neutralize the harsh odor found in clothing, towels and other garments? 3. Please provide information on the differences between other laundry odor neutralizers and bamboo charcoal odor neutralizers? 4. What is the average size of a laundry basket and laundry hamper? 5. Please provide the sizes of a small, medium, and large laundry basket. RESEARCH ANSWERS Introduction Bamboo Charcoal being used in fabric is a relatively new concept, but people are catching on to this discovery and it has become a popular and eco-friendly choice for linens and towels. Bamboo charcoal is made by heating bamboo fibers at high temperatures of 800-1000 degrees Celsius. Once the bamboo has been turned into charcoal it is processed into nanoparticles. Using nanotechnologies these bamboo charcoal nanoparticles are then blended together with organic bamboo fibers and woven into yarn. Bamboo charcoal yarn is used to make the new line of towels, clothing and other garments. The many positive qualities of bamboo charcoal fabric include: Easier on sensitive skin – The fabric inhibits bacterial metabolism causing fewer allergic skin reactions than other fibers sterilized with antimicrobial agents. Reduces Static buildup – This is a conductive material so it keeps a balanced charge in fabric to help reduce static buildup. Superior Absorption & Deodorizing Ability –...

Nonetheless, this does raise questions about the primacy accorded to the Scottish Sheriffs’ accounts in the second section of the book in light of the markedly different approach to ASBOs adopted in Scotland, especially where young people are concerned (pp. 121–125). The Sheriffs’ accounts clearly lend support to extant concerns about net-widening (cf. Squires and Stephen, 2005)...

From studies carried out by : OREADE BRECHE (République Dominicaine : Conacado et Banelino ; Pérou : Cocla), AVSF (Equateur : Fapecafes ; Pérou : Apromalpi ; Bolivie : Coopératives des Yungas). Synthèse on the impact of Fairtrade Certification FLO PREAMBULE A reflective work around the impact of FTC (Fairtrade Certification)’s activities, on the main group of beneficiaries, has been initiated in 2005 by Max Havelaar France and its federation FLO. Indeed, the substantial work done until now around guarantee (referring to the guarantee of the means (standards, prices, etc.) and the direct results of those means (verified through certification, ie: whether volumes sold have been paid at the defined levels, to democratic organisations, etc.)) only gave an incomplete overview of the sustainable and substantial changes brought by the FTC to organisations and its members. The action taken of measuring the FTC’s impact is thus aiming at better understanding the mechanisms and the reality of the FTC’s impact, in order to 1/ being able to explain it and to have more solid information, and 2/ being able to improve its tools and interventions. Several studies have been carried out in parallel to the elaboration and to the improvement of a common methodological frame...

...Explain any 15 theories of learning, showing clearly how they can be applied to make learning effective Learning theories are conceptual frameworks describing how information is absorbed, processed, and retained during learning. Cognitive, emotional, and environmental influences, as well as prior experience, all play a part in how understanding, or a world view, is acquired or changed and knowledge and skills retained. 1. Behaviorism theory Behaviorism (or behaviourism) is a systematic approach to the understanding of human and animal behavior. Behaviorism combines elements of philosophy, methodology, and psychological theory. It emerged in the early twentieth century as a reaction to depth psychology and other traditional forms of psychology, which often had difficulty making predictions that could be tested experimentally It assumes that the behavior of a human or animal is a consequence of that individual's history, including especially reinforcement and punishment, together with the individual's current motivational state and controlling stimuli. Thus, although behaviorists generally accept the important role of inheritance in determining behavior, they focus primarily on environmental factors. 2. Cognitivism theory Cognitivists argued that the way people think impacts their behavior and therefore cannot be a behavior in and of itself. Cognitivists later argued that thinking is so essential to psychology that the study of thinking should become its own field...

...GLOSSARY OF COMMON GRAMMATICAL AND WRITING TERMS Grammar terminology is useful when we describe and correct problems with writing. Though we’ve tried to de-emphasize terminology and teach through examples throughout this book, sometimes you need a definition. We’ve tried to emphasize areas that are both commonly used and commonly misunderstood, such as the use of modal auxiliaries like can, could, shall, should, etc. Punctuation marks are not included in this list; they have a separate section in this Appendix. “People who are experts in grammar don’t always write well, and many people who write well no longer think consciously about grammar … but when something goes wrong in a sentence, a knowledge of grammar helps in recognizing the problem and provides a language for discussing it.” — H.
