Intro / Background to problem statement
We grew up listening to our parents, teachers and even tutors to sit straight, do not move and pay attention to what is being taught, otherwise it was either considered disrespectful or looked like we were being inattentive. Little did we know that everyone including most of our teachers and even our parents were (or still are) unaware of the fact that not all learners are the same, every single individual’s capability to absorb information, to process it and to respond to it may vary, let alone there’s an entire theory about learners and learning styles depending upon their intelligence and cognitive make up explained through the VARK (Visual, Auditory , Reading/ writing, Kinesthetic) or VAK (Visual, …show more content…

The VAK is a learning style model proposed by Neil D. Fleming in 2001, this learning style uses the three main sensory receivers: Visual, Auditory, and Kinesthetic (movement) to determine the dominant learning style according to which every learner possess a dominant or preferred learning style of the three stated, however a lot are a mix of more than one.
The idea of VAK Learning System (the first evaluation) is to find out if student learn better by hearing, seeing, or moving information as a part of processing it. Every person’s learning style is either or a combination of auditory, visual, or kinesthetic (tactile) in terms of the way he or she learns best. No particular style is better than the others; it is all about what works best for the individual . Now let explore each of these styles at length:
The Visual learners: Someone with a Visual learning style has a preference for seeing or observing things, including images , diagrams, manifestations , displays, release , infographics , summersault -charts , etc. These learners use phrases such as ‘show me’, ‘let’s have a look at that’ and are best able to perform a new labor after reading the didactics or watching someone else do it first. They will work from lists and written directions and …show more content…

The third learning type is Visual, this can include graphs, charts, diagrams, etc. Learning something literally by seeing the big picture in front of you. Personally, I love seeing the big picture, and honestly I don’t know anyone that doesn’t. When I am trying to put together something, for example hooking up a Wi-Fi I want to not only be able to read the instructions off the pamphlet, but I want to be able to see step by step picture examples. The fourth learning style is Read or Write, and this can consist of lists and notes.

Tyne’s article starts out broad and then narrows in on each learning style. Tyne gives examples of the strengths and weaknesses of people with each of the three learning styles and encourages parents to identify their child’s learning style. LSSU is half as long as Tyne’s article. “Kinaesthetic, Auditory, and Visual Learning Styles for Children” is written in a more persuasive manner. Opposed to “What Learning Style Does Your Student Use?” which is more expository article.

In a four year old VPK classroom there are different types of learners, the three common types of learners are visual, auditory, tactile, and kinesthetic. On the Ability Path website it mentions that visual learners learn best through what they observe, such the facial expression and body language. Visual learners learn best through demonstrations rather than just being given directions, because visual learners learn best through demonstration too much movement in the classroom could be a distraction in the classroom. Most visual learners tend to have very active imaginations, and think in pictures. An example of a math activity could be counting with M&M’s, counting M&M’s and being able to move each M&M as they count each one

When looking at the pros and cons of each I found that; first, I really focused on the pros of each of the theories and wanted to see the best aspects of each, second, some of the theories played into one another. Social learning is great in that students can learn from observing, so in online learning this might be showing an example of completed work. Or it could be showing a chemistry experiment through a video, the student would be learning through the observing of the video. Constructivism has a focus on the authentic experiences and problem solving. As a teacher I have found that the minute I can make something authentic, or prove that the student will use the concept in another area of their life, the student is on board learning the concept.

I am a visual learner, because I like to see what people are talking about. When people just tell me the information my mind has a hard time understanding what they want me to do. I am starting to work on being a reflective learner, but sometimes it’s hard if I don’t understand what the material is over. Most of the time I do know that “why” and the “what for” but sometimes I like that going through a problem and not necessarily think of the reason why behind it but it being more of a habit. I just have a hard time in putting into words “why” and the “what for”.

After completing the assessment, I was not too surprised. I think the results are right on and describe my learning habits. I seem to be more of a visual. I have always been a visual learner, as I seem to recall something that I visually saw versus something I heard. As when reading chapters I can usually recall where I read it, as my memory tends to be pretty decent for now.

This essay explains how to develop learning, teaching and assessment strategies to support the student to achieve a successful outcome. Cassidy & Kreitne (2009) defines learning styles as a range of contested and competing theories that account for variations in a person 's’ education. There are three main learning styles, the visual learners, auditory and kinesthetic learners. Visual learners mainly learn through seeing. They exhibit visual skills that are demonstrated in writing, reading, painting, sketching, manipulating images, fixing, interpreting visual images, have a good sense of direction and also create visual analogies and metaphors.

Literature Review “Children know how to learn in more ways than we know how to teach them.” —Ronald Edmonds (1991) Each child learns in a different way, therefore if teachers are mainly focused on instructing the majority auditory/visual learners; the students who have different learning styles needs aren’t being met, which results in lack of basic skills moving forward. The idea of one instructional strategy fitting all is creating a void in classrooms; which in turn is failing to help those students struggling the most. Campbell, Helf, and Cooke, (2008) suggests a reason for some students’ ongoing lack of achievements that, “too often, students are instructed indirectly, watching and listening to the teacher or other students with little or no opportunity to actually read” (p. 268).

It shouldn’t matter how we choose to learn the lecture, material, or lesson, but as long as we understand the concept to the fullest capacity can fit. According to Dr. Wu, “To change behavior, it 's important to give children brief and powerful messages several times and consistently” (Wu), as he explains how the child 's brain is still developing and needs brief and powerful messages consistently. Which theater is the perfect remedy for what Dr. Wu is explaining. Everyday people walk by, not noticing the small things that make up life and so it 's easy to take things for granted. The importance of education is to empower one’s mind of knowledge but does it matter the process of how you achieve that?
