VARK Questionaire

By completing the VARK questionaire in the lecture, I have found that I am a Aural learner, but I found that all the results I got were all close to my highest one. Here I have shown the results I got from the VARK Questionaire:-
Visual - 2
Aural - 5
Read/Write - 4
Kinesthetic - 4

As an Aural learner, I find listening to people give information about a subject easier then just getting on with it and learning from doing it.
Another one that I prefer is to read or write something down, this is because I prefer to read instructions to learn how to do something instead of just having a go with whatever needs to have instructions.

The last two I feel don't relate to me as much as the first to do but sometimes I do like to look at how to do something, this can be taking a look at something which is shown to me on the computer or someone who is showing something to me physically.

Reflection on learning line

When I look at my learning line I’m able to see that education has played a big part of what I have learnt so far in my life time but also as I look at it, sport comes onto it also which makes me think that I don’t just learn and work in life but I also can socialise by playing sports.

I have played for a couple of football teams who play in a local league at under 16 and at senior level. This plays an important part in my life because I am always trying to improve in football, I train 1 or 2 times a week and play matches when I can.

I stayed on for 3 years at sixth form to do a BTEC National and First Diploma along with A Levels, I also belong to the Career Academy which I gradurated from earlier in 2009, that provided me with a work internship for 6 weeks in the summer of 2008.

I have worked in a number of places who deal with buying and selling goods to other companies, dealing with computers and maintaining them for the business and serving at a cafe.
