LEARNING STYLES AND PREFERENCES ( KINESTHETIC)

Abstract

Learning style is an approach students start to adopt to new information. It can be assessed by various models. Among them, the VARK (visual-V, aural-A, read/write-R, kinesthetic-K) model is more appropriate, concise, and reliable. Visual learners grasp information best through images and diagrams; auditory learners excel by listening to spoken content; reading/writing learners prefer writing and text-based materials; and kinesthetic learners understand concepts through hands-on activities. Understanding students’ preferences of learning styles grants higher academic efficiency and helps the faculty to use suitable teaching methods for enhancing the student’s grasping ability.
