I want to talk about VARK and how it improve students learning ability. The first key is to think in terms learns actives not lecture pointes. And think of how our students learn and are able to engage. V.A.R.K. is an acronym that helps understand explain the different way people can learn. VARK stand for Visual, Aural, Read/write, and Kinesthetic. Traditional classes use primarily aural (hearing) as the primarily learn mode for teaching and schools traditionally use Reading/Write to assess students understanding of the material. My student are typically Visual (you need to show not tell them how some this done) and by Kinestetic (student actually doing it them selves). While we can all learn by any of theses methods it important to undusted we have preferences (easier way for us to learn) with certain methods and so we need to strive as instructors to provide learning activities that use all these channels to teach and asses our students. A good instructor increases the engagement of the class by using all the channels of learning in nontraditional ways so student can easy grasp the knowledge and then make the student work hard than traditional classes to demonstrate a mastery of the skills listed in the performance objective in the course Syllabus. We need to use more simulations, activates, story telling methods to convey our message using Visual components and hands-on exercises. Ask yourself as you prepare for class the following question to help you prepare for class and create visual learning systems: 1. Who/What are you talking about? Create and show a portrait of who/what you’re talking about using qualitative information. Portrait = Who/what. 2. How much are we talking about? Create a chart that shows qualitative representations to explain. Charts = How much 3. Where is it that you’re looking at? Create a visual map showing the position in space where you are focusing on. Where = Maps 4. Ask yourself when is this taking place? Create a visual timeline to explain how it all fits together. When = timeline 5. Ask yourself how does it work? Create a flowchart to visually explain the cause and effect process. How = Flowcharts 6. Ask yourself why does it work? Create a multiple-variable plot and use deduction and prediction to answer why something works. Why = Multiple-variable plot By using the visual codex above of who/what, how much, where, when, how or why as the coordinates of your graphs it makes it easier for visual learners to understand. You must also ask yourself how to best show this data that can be examined by using SQVID slide bars that look at five factors in showing the data. 1. How Simple vs. Elaborate should I make the pictures? 2. Am I looking Qualitative (non-numerical) vs. Quantity (numbers) information? 3. Am I creating a Vision to understand or an Executable plan to follow? 4. Are you looking at an Individual item or a comparison of many items? 5. Are you looking at the way things could be (change-Delta symbol) or the way they are currently are (as-is).
