Like you I completed the questionairre...Hi Annette,<br />Like you I completed the questionairre and found that I am a multi-modal learner with equal parts visual, aural and read/write. It made total sense to me as I feel particularly useless with kinesthetic learning. I have always felt a passion for theory, but put me in a lab and I flounder.<br />To compensate my lack of clinical skills I tend to use story telling with students, i.e. stories from my clincal nursing practice.<br />LaurieLaurie Mahoneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17955391587373005398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28701233.post-52750051324088716332012-03-18T15:31:20.402+13:002012-03-18T15:31:20.402+13:00This comment has been removed by the author.Laurie Mahoneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17955391587373005398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28701233.post-82567241879819088272012-03-14T15:43:32.698+13:002012-03-14T15:43:32.698+13:00Thanks Bronwyn for informing about the alternative...Thanks Bronwyn for informing about the alternative learning style questionnaire “Index of Learning Styles (ILS)” as an alternative to the Vark. I ran a quick test to assess my own learning style, using the ILS model and found I have a moderate preference for active and visual learning styles, but overall I can claim I am fairly well balanced on the two dimensions of the scale. What I feel it further tells me is that I am lucky, I don’t have a strong preference for one dimension of the scale, as this could create some real difficulty learning in an environment which would not support that preference.<br />Enough about me, as what I really wanted to point out is, this does highlight the many different learning styles and (what I believe is)our responsibility in establishing a better understanding of the specific cohort we are teaching to, to accommodate for their specific needs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28701233.post-19590287977993552472012-03-14T15:40:14.206+13:002012-03-14T15:40:14.206+13:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
