VARK Analysis
VARK is a guide that helps a person understand what the most effective manner of
learning is for them, such as; visual, aural, read/write and kinesthetic modalities. VARK was
created by Neil Fleming in 1987. While there has been knowledge of these different modes for
centuries Fleming was the first to present a systematic series of questions to help the learner to
understand the best way of learning for each individual (Introduction to VARK, n.d.).
VARK Learning Style Analysis
The results seen by this student upon completion of the VARK questionnaire had the
following scores: visual-six, aural-four, read/write-four, and kinesthetic-seven. These numbers
show the student to be a multimodal (MM) learner. MM learners are sub-categorized into two
types. This student is a VARK Type 2 learner. This style of learner prefers input in all of these
modes. VARK Type 2 learners take longer to collect information from each method, often
resulting in a deeper understanding of the subject matter (Introduction to VARK, n.d.). VARK
Type 2 learners may be thought of as procrastinators, but in reality, they are merely gathering all
the information possible before acting. Their decision-making and learning skills may be
stronger due to the extensiveness of understanding gained through thorough research.

My Learning Strategies
As a multimodal (MM) learner, this student incorporates all four learning methods in the
VARK model. Visual students prefer to use lists as well as using figures, pictures, and symbolic
tools such as graphs, flowcharts, or models in printed form (Khanal, Shah, & Koirala, 2014).
