VARK Discussion: Understanding Learning Styles and Adapting Strategies

This discussion post centers on the VARK learning styles, prompted by an assignment that required students to complete the VARK questionnaire and watch the "Myth of Average" video. The student identifies their kinesthetic learning style, emphasizing their preference for practical, hands-on experiences and the use of real-world examples. The student reflects on the importance of adapting to different learning environments, particularly those that may not align with their preferred style, and suggests using technological tools like speakers and online resources to overcome weaknesses in aural learning. The post concludes with a focus on developing adjustable strategies and fostering a collaborative learning environment to promote equality and challenge the concept of being "average." References to relevant sources are also provided.

2VARK DISCUSSION
I have been able to understand that my learning style is Kinesthetic learning style and that
I am very fond of the real and the practical things that are taking place around me. Just like all
the other learners or followers of this learning style, I am able to use the facts and the figures
from the evidences, samples, photographs and other such articles that are actually present around
me. I always like to stick to the plenty of different examples while I speak (www.youtube.com.
2019). This enables me to understand that I have been able to actually apply my practical learnt
lessons to the different kinds of aspects that are going on around me. After watching the video on
Myth of Average I have been able to learn that I might often go in some kinds of environments
where I will not be getting the similar learning styles that suit my personal. In such cases I must
try to use the different technological means that are present in the modern day scenario. This will
surely help me to get rid of my weaknesses and try to get over the problems.
I have to develop an adjustable seat for myself wherever I face problem. As my lowest
score is in the aural learning style, I am not good at hearing, However I have to be a good listener
so that I can get to know about all the important facts and figures before learning the lessons.
Thus I will always try to make use of the technological aspects like speakers, tablets, PC , smart
phones and other such objects to develop listening skills’ will be referring to the videos, online
lectures slides and other such cloud based group discussion activities that will be helping me to
understand about the different kinds of lessons and the important ideas that are being given by
others. This will surely help me to develop myself and my fellow classmates to consider
themselves as equals and get over the concept of being an ‘average’ (Husmann and O'Loughlin
2019). This will surely help in develop new dimensions of learning in the near future.
