Did you know that there are four different types of learning styles? The VARK model is a frequently used method for understanding learning styles, which breaks down learners into four distinct categories:
- Visual – processes information using charts, graphs, images and graphical elements
- Auditory – prefers lectures and best processes information when spoken
- Read/Write - enjoys ready and writing and prefers to receive written words
- Kinesthetic – processes information through recreating, tactile processes
So, what’s your learning style? Once identified, you can tailor your learning experiences to match your individual needs.
Everyone has a unique way of processing and retaining information, and understanding how you learn best can help you learn more efficiently and effectively. For example, if you are a visual learner, you may want to look for articles or resources that include images and diagrams to walk you through a process. If you are an auditory learner, you may want to listen to lectures or podcasts on a topic.
