Vark Reflection


 Learning and Skills Development for HE and Work

                           Vark Reflection
After taking the ‘Vark questionnaire’ the results were as follows


Total number of Vs circled           3                        Visual
Total number of As circled           4                        Listener
Total number of Rs circled           0                        Reader
Total number of Ks circled           6                       Active learning


Conclusion
After the questionnaire it clearly describes that I am a kinaesthetic which is a true factor, thus the time it took me to post this information because I am more of a practical learner no theoretical and I prefer visual active learning which is true. I need to improve my weakness which is being a reader and in-order to do this I am taking a positive step in reading novels, articles etc
