I took this VARK test in high school, and as a student who didn’t perform well, I was SOO excited to find out my learning style. I scored the exact same in all categories... seems like that wasn't the reason for my struggle. I realized that once I started taking online classes in college, I learned WAY better when I wasn't around my peers. I would make funny faces, talk out loud, gasp!, yell "what!?!," stick my tounge out, lay on the floor, walk around the room, etc. Not that I needed to have a classroom that allowed me to learn this way... but I needed to have no one else watch me learning this way. I love having a real instuctor, but not other students watching me. Now, I just simulate this by sitting at the front of the class, right in front of the teacher. No one sits in the front. Its always open. ❤

As an educator, I was taught learning styles theory, and we were told to try to incorporate some or all of them in the lessons. The result was teaching the same material in a few different ways so that you'd reach everyone. The actual outcome was the material was presented multiple times, so the repeated exposure through a variety of styles helped everyone remember better. Don't just teach visual learners visually and kinesthetic learners with experiments; teach everyone with everything.

This was a reassuring video for me. I always thought that I didn't really have a learning style because it depends on the situation and material. When someone asks me that question, I usually reply with "visual" because in my memory, I tend to absorb textbook information better by reading than listening to it (and I cannot do audiobooks/podcasts). But I also remember countless times where I would read the same paragraph over and over again because I couldn't understand what was happening, and I end up having to look up a diagram, try to map it out myself, or even hear it out loud before it clicks. Thus, I never thought I was truly a visual learner, rather it was just the one that I tend to lean more into, but I definitely require a bit of everything for the best results. It's good to know there's nothing wrong with me haha. And side note, I never really understood what kinesthetic learning means when it's not like building/drawing/something active/etc. Like is doing practice problems in math or history considered "hands-on" ?
@boddaboom777 ай бұрын
Same for me. It all depended on what was being taught. For example: spelling, or, geography, was just visually seeing and memorizing. But something like anatomy was part visual and part "hands on" in dissecting and then seeing. I worked in manufacturing for a while and when I first started, I had to be there and watch someone set up a machine. But, there was so much information to remember that, after watching a setup, I had an overall understanding of what needed to be done but I needed an "instructor" there with me as I was doing the hands on part to remember the little details that there was no way to remember it all until I had the repetition. This frustrated me because I can remember being in school and just intently listening to a, say...history discussion and remember the important points. So I think the "best" or "smartest" students (or learners) are comfortable with every method of "learning". If you are too rigid and only learn "visually" for example, how can anyone ever explain anything to you?
@colettemartinez13414 ай бұрын
No, doing practice problems would not be a kinaesthetic learning method. That would fall under reading and writing or visual learner. Kinaesthetic learners find it easiest and funnest to incorporate information (especially new information) using their entire body. If the child were to go over math drills or flash cards at home - they would enjoy to do so while bouncing on a small trampoline, or with the reward of bouncing or showing a trick every 3 correct problems. To introduce math topics, you would use manipulatives like base ten counting blocks, buttons, raisins, etc. something they can group up and move around to better take in the information. This will also please the visual learner. You can prepare numbers taped to the floor and have the kids jump from number to number when learning skip counting. You can have them go look around the room for items that would weigh less than a pound, have them bring them to you and then check their guess with a kitchen scale. You could do body movements like dancing or excersize while doing math facts or something more rote. Or you can let them doodle or draw in class, or kick their legs back and forth in their chair, or move about the room during the “boring/hard” part. Isn’t it funny that we are all discussing the learning styles the video is trying to suggest do no exist? Learning styles are valuable, personal information to have for learning how you find it easiest to process new information. The commenter we have replied to needs to be able to pace or react physically in order to allow the information to go deeper (to assimilate/incorporate) on a first attempt - that is so valuable!!!! I am glad you found that out about yourself, @carmenmintrose. When I took the VARK learning test, I was high in each area. It was explained to me that instead of having a brain with only a door and a window open, I had a brain with a door and all the windows open. I personally needed to receive information through more than one of those openings to be able to make sense of it. In other words, in more than one method in order to grasp it quicker. I was often a slower learner, especially when I found the material difficult, BUT, when I understood it, I understood it from several angles. I am also not nearly as slow to learn now that I am older because I can access all the old pathways made over time and hold a ton of information that I can access and use to make more recent, “new” connections faster. This is the reason why those who often require more than one discipline to study well, can make great teachers. They can look at their student, see the information isn’t getting through and try an entirely different approach (or take a brain/activity break) on a dime a because they have had to do that for themselves all along!

I agree with you that interest is very important, but I disagree that will lead to learning by itself. You can be deeply interested in a subject, but if no one presents that information to you, or at least in a intelligible way, then you will never understand no matter how much you want to know. This is excluding experimenting things and discovering it yourself. Having an interest is important nonetheless. If your teacher is presenting the material poorly, your innate interest will lead to you seeking out that information elsewhere. But that other source of information still need to present it in a understandable way. If you aren't interested, that won't happen. Interest just means you are more willing to find alternative forms of presentation.

I have been a dog trainer for 10 years. I have always believe there are different learning styles and therefore present my training in a way that touches on all three. I demonstrate, explain, and give worksheets to every client. I have always done it this way to ensure the information is absorbed by my clients since I am not able to determine each and every clients learning style. Dog training really should be called people training. That said, I never realized this was a thing and it's called multimedia. I guess now I feel a bit silly for not realizing that. I have always felt like I understand new things best by a bit of everything. I like to hear it explained, see it done, take notes, read the instructions (or read about a topic), and try it for myself. I incorporate a lot of "experience" stories to clients to help them understand why something might be happening or what could happen if they do something a certain way. I loved this presentation on learning. This has definitely broadened my thoughts on the subject.

While there is certainly some truth to that for me, as I've gotten into college, i'm noticing exactly this - the best approach is a combination. Some things really sink in when you hear them, some when you see them, and some when you feel them, etc. The most beneficial thing is to take the same concept and approach it from so many perspectives that at least one sticks and to just continuously do that.

I think for me I loved when we were doing different types of learning styles, the way of learning is important but I feel like eventually it comes down to implicating students and encourage flexibility. Give them time and enough supports but not too much as not to overwhelm them. I lack structure and I have ADHD so it’s important that things are clear. For example I always noticed that images, mind maps didn’t help me on their own because I don’t understand what exactly we have to learn from them. I think where we get it wrong is that we are not really good at one specific learning style but we can have difficulties with some because of specific disabilities that are often not addressed like bad hearing, bad eyesight, dalton’s vision, dyslexia, etc. I see a flaw in the test you ran, it only uses short term memory and doesn’t apply to things that don’t need to be copied and paste but understood and manipulated

If instead of a list of items to remember you had given people a written explanation of how a volcano or a TV works, vs a diagram or animation explaining the same and compare how quickly and comprehensively people understood, you may see a different results, or at least results more aligned with what people are trying to express.

There is one element to this that was not addressed: as a teacher, it does not really matter if the RCT said VARK doesn't work, once your student already believes that it does. The placebo effect is strong and it affects other important aspects of learning like comfort and motivation. So it often pays off to go along with peoples preferences to an extent. It is good to know that it doesn't hold any water though, so you can focus on more important things about the classroom rather than trying to inventory everyone's own thing.

Not really, concentration certainly is needed but NOONE can be concentrated at everything, thus there's a "preference" to classify/separate on what's important to what isn't, and usually one of the ways to "increase capacity" of what can be learned is writing things down Or, at least that's how I did/do.. :)

and the ones that learn the best across all subjects tend to be one's that employ learning techniques that are not actively taught by the teacher. This is why vocab is such a poor subject for many kids. not many people will just learn a list of words and definitions even when used in stories. meanwhile if you have multiple activities for each concept, when tested on the material you will see better results. Especially when activities engage more.

Likewise i also prefer to look up text-based tutorials on things i immediately want to learn in, say, photoshop, than watching a youtube tutorial.

I find that the best learning style is the desire to learn. Often when introducing a new topic or subject, teachers need to draw that desire out, and then the student will be motivated to learn. One of the biggest questions I often hear in class as a student is "why do we need to learn this?" If the teacher cannot answer that in a satisfying way, the student will be less likely to retain what they learn.

This is amplified in ADHD students. Studies have found that ADHD students are under represented in engineering, but run circles around "normal" students in engineering when they are taught with a stronger emphasis on intuition based learning and applying the learning in a gratifying way. People with ADHD are incapable of staying focused if they do not see relevance in what they are learning. IMO, there are a lot more people with undiagnosed ADHD than realized. I don't even think its a disorder, just a different type of cognition. The systems in place simply don't facilitate this learning style because they just want to have students memorize cookie cutter problems for exams and get them pushed through as quickly as possible.

Autistic until proven otherwise here. This is so true. If someone doesn't want to learn, or doesn't see the value in what they're learning, they simply won't, because they don't care. My preferred learning style is games. Probably so is everyone's. If you make a game out of it, kids will remember things better. Teachers be like, "why can y'all memorize these rap songs but not the periodic table of the elements?" Because it's not fun and they don't care. They don't see the value in learning the periodic table of the elements beyond not wanting to get in trouble with their parents. For me, learning itself was fun. The process of learning was fun. No other kid I knew felt this way. If kids aren't engaged, you gotta find a way to appeal to them, and make it fun.

Chemistry for me this past year was fun and interesting because it was new and exciting, algebra 2 was the worst math class I’ve ever taken because it wasn’t… but trig at the end of the year was fun. The best way to get students to retain information is to get them engaged and having fun, instead of stressing the crap out of them and using traditional methods that are way outdated.

In school I had the topic "learn learning" which covered those types. Later on in my training as a careworker I had this topic again. This time my teacher told me that we all have a prefered learning style (one of the types), but we learn best if we use all types. He called it canels. If we trigger all our canels (visual, audotory, read/write and kinesthetic) we learn the best. Its the combinations that helps to manifest the input given to you in your brain. And a little extra: We had a fifth type - communication. Learning best in groups and talking with others about it.

There's the pitfall we have to be wary of in accepting "everyone learns the same way" though. That being, people will throw those with learning disabilities or just take a little longer to understand a topic under the bus (as we tend to do already). Despite the fact there's plenty of dyslexic people, for example, who have contributed to science (since we value that so much). Also, doing well in school isn't indicative of future success. My mother who's a nurse said a lot of straight A students weren't cut for real work, just to give a personal example. There's plenty out there though. There's more to this than just "everyone learns the same". What about teaching styles? Genetics? Cultural values? Use of language? Environment? Mental states/stresses? Or maybe something we haven't thought of yet. This stuff is not as cut and dry as so many people think it is. That within itself is why it's so heavily debated and controversial.

@@korinoriz This. The difference the New Zealand teacher saw between teachers may not be down to "learning styles", but to 'seeing' the individual pupil. If a teacher listen to the pupil and accommodate the pupil feel safe and valued and this further learning. When the pupil is on board with learning the teacher can nudge the pupil in a direction of instruction that makes the teacher's life easier. Trying to do it the other way around disconnect a substantial percentage of pupils from learning. Sadly the focus today is on "efficiency" and standardization and the-devil-take-the-rest. I would posit that we are currently sacrificing ~10% of pupils because they have a hard time moving in lockstep, not because they are unable to learn.

Flip it twice, and 75% of the students get the material on the first day. Flip it four times, and 93.75% of students will learn the material completely on the first day.

@@cerebraldreams4738 From my master studies, it is more than just there being more opportunities to learn or "flipping a coin". It comes down to building a more robust neural schema with more "nodes" if you will. Take two groups and teach 100 kids to spell a word they've never heard before. Let's go with Kaiju. Take 10 minutes to show them all how to spell it and tell them briefly what it means. With the second group, also show them a picture of a few Kaiju within that same 10 minutes period. Wait a day, then test both groups on their spelling of Kaiju. My understanding is that group two will be expected to perform better at the task (spelling "Kaiju") even though they actually wasted some time looking at pictures (which isn't even about spelling). This is not because they "flipped more coins" but rather because they've built a bigger neural schema. In fact, those students may close their eyes and visualize a picture they saw to draw out the memory of the spelling. This is similar to the whole idea of creating a memory home.

I think that instead of learning styles, each of the things that people call learning style, is just a different kind of way information is presented, and it is easiest to learn when you combine all of them (like watching a video and seeing pictures (visual) but also getting some commentary about it (audio) and reading about the same thing later and also seeing the same thing in some hands on experience would give you the most learning output)

I'm in school in the Netherlands. The learning styles are used but they are used to make sure all the 'styles' are used and mixed in the lessons. It makes teachers add pictures and videos as links for example. Which helps me and others very much. I say I'm a visual learner because I memorise pictures in my head to study and understand the material. Although that could be because of my adhd.

The most frustrating part of all of this for me, as a teacher, is knowing that learning styles were already debunked years before I did my teacher training, getting indoctrinated into this system, and now, fifteen years later, still having learning styles show up regularly in my professional development courses, staff meetings, and job interviews. The entire field of education is notorious for quickly jumping on the bandwagon for every new idea about how to teach better but taking generations to be willing to admit when those ideas have turned out not to be correct.

If you only teach a single way, you're the problem. At least the learning styles encourage teachers to use multiple methods of explaining the same things.
@MusiMasterJam2 жыл бұрын
@@tgamer1510 It is a rather large leap to go from an ideological disagreement with a debunked dogma to the assumption that one who disagrees with the theory of learning styles must therefore only teach in one way. I typically teach any given concept in two ways, and try to vary which ways I use from concept to concept. But the principle behind a learning-styles approach is the idea that each student should be taught each concept according to their own learning style, not multiple learning styles. In some applications of this principle (including most of the studies purporting to support this theory), students are separated into cohorts with shared learning styles, and then exclusively taught according to that learning style. In that format, learning styles do not, as you put it, encourage teachers to use multiple methods of explaining the same things, they encourage a lack of variety in teaching methods -- they encourage teachers to always use the same one method, which not only does not turn out to improve student learning despite supposedly respecting each student's learning style, it also eliminates the well-known benefits of teaching a single concept in multiple ways (a principle with which I think we both agree). Conversely, if the students are not grouped according to learning styles cohorts (as I think is probably the more common case), then the doctrine implies that each concept should be taught not only according to more than one style, but that each concept should be taught numerous times, according to each of however many learning styles one happens to accept as meaningful (one of the principal problems that must be determined before any attempt to apply the doctrine). And while I agree that each new re-explanation according to another learning style would improve learning, each new mode also comes with diminishing returns, and we need to take account of the amount of classroom time that is available to teach any given concept when we really need to be moving on to the next concept. There are an enormous number of ideas floating around about how to improve student learning, each of which takes time. Or, as a compromise, we can try to engage all of the learning modalities in a single explanation; from an ideological perspective, this is liable to be a poor compromise, since it may not allow any of the students to fully engage with the topic according to their own learning styles -- not that this matters, of course, since the learning styles are a myth anyway -- but from a practical perspective, this also requires considerably more time, some of which occurs in class and would therefore slow down class progress, but a great of additional time is also required to plan lessons of this kind. And whatever expectations we might have about the amount of time teachers should spend planning their lessons, we are forced to acknowledge that there are ultimate limits dictated by the number of hours in a day. I would rather use what limited time I have available for each concept using methodologies that bring greater returns. In no other field that I know of is it a virtue to continue blindly adhering to debunked hypotheses.

@@MusiMasterJam I didn't bother reading your entire reply because I noted that you said I made an assumption when in fact I didn't. I merely said "If you only teach a single way, you're the problem" I never said you did this, nor does my statement imply that's what I was trying to say. I mean it's not really debunked, until you do any testing on a larger or at least better scale.

@@tgamer1510 Point taken. Though I would note that the literature debunking learning styles is extensive. Willingham, D., E. Hughes, and D. Dobolyi (2015), "The Scientific Status of Learning Styles Theories", Teaching of Psychology, Vol. 42(3), 266-71 cites nearly a dozen reviews of the literature spanning from as early as the late 1970s to as recently as the mid 2010s demonstrating the failure to support the theory (see especially p. 267). The conclusion that learning styles are now debunked rests by no means on a small body of evidence.

I dare say that, the so-called 'learning styles' reveal less about how people learn, and more about what medium tends to spark their curiosity. Some like to read, others prefer narrated video. Both mediums can provide equal amounts of learning but, depending on the individual, one will be more engaging than the other. Perhaps 'Learning Styles' should instead be called 'Preferred Medium of Engagement".

I belive that the learning style is not based on how we process the information, its how we recall it. For example, I read my course, I inspected the images, listened to the teacher speaking in class and I tried to apply what I learned. At the end of the day, all I remeber is an image of the subject I tried to understand, not the text writting, a voice explaining the theory or me putting in practice what I learned. Its how we memorize things, not how we process them

I've noticed that for me it depends on what I'm learning. For instance with science or math based subjects I seem to retain and analyze more information by visualizing and history or origin based subjects, I seem to retain and analyze information by reading. Here's the thing, most of my learning I've done alone, meaning self-taught. The advantage of being self-taught is I learn at a pace that suits me and I can readily change up the way I'm digesting information. The disadvantage is I have a tendency to not invest too much time and effort in subjects I care little or not at all. Informative video.

Yes. Especially today with KZfaq, Khan Academy, and many other online ways to learn which was barely possible 10 years ago and not really possible 20 years ago. But also motivation eventually burns out, at least for some parts of what you want to learn and you will need to create artificial deadlines to accomplish anything - aka SMART goals. Khan academy structures learning in such a way that you can stick to the plan for a long time, without the need for additional motivation or structure. But google search, youtube and other raw sources - you have to create your own structure and deadlines. Like right now I'm supposed to work on my 3D modelling project with no deadline and I'm instead stretching my breakfast time with KZfaq lol
