Learning Styles - After

After taking the VARK questionnaire I am not surprised to find out that my results were as follows:

• Visual: 11
• Aural: 8
• Read/Write: 5
• Kinesthetic: 13

Therefore I have a multimodal (VARK) learning preference. 

I feel that in a learning environment, I would tend to use this information and teach how I would like to be taught. However everyone has a different learning style and I now understand that in a classroom all four types would need to be met to provide a better educational experience for each and every student, teacher, and principal.

These learning styles consist of visual, aural, read/write, and kinesthetic. By knowing and understanding these different learning styles a teacher can approach education in a way that will allow all students learn the same information in several different ways. Being able to put these different learning styles to use in the classroom would not only allow for all students to learn, but it would prepare the students for future teachers who may or may not use certain techniques that satisfy the learning styles. I feel that my past education has allowed me to enter any classroom and succeed, even though my personal learning style is mainly kinesthetic and visual. I feel that it does matter that a teacher especially in elementary grades knows and understands the learning styles and how to implement them in the classroom. This will allow every student to succeed in their educational experience.
