VARK Questionaire

In this weeks lecture we learned about different learning styles and took a questionable named "VARK" (Visual Aural Read/Write Kinesthetic).
One of the most common ways of learning is called "surface learning".
This, is the process of literally just reading lists and memorizing data. This fills the mind with data, however it is easily forgotten later, and also a lot of information that is not needed is learned. This is a great method for learning in some situations.
What has been discovered is that we learn in a Spiral Pattern.
Theres three mains parts to this - Concrete experience (learning from around you and experiences), Active Experimentation and Abstract Experimentation.
The main process for learning is: Learn -> Apply It -> Try Again.

The VARK questionnaire is a tested way of finding out what way you learn best. This is done by taking a short simple multiple choice questionnaire. At the end, you are given a result and based on what type of learner you are.
My result was that I learn best through reading. However, personally, I believe this to be wrong. I personally feel that I learn best as a visual learner, as I like to to break down revision and learning into diagrams and pictures. I am aware that I am capable of learning using reading, but I would never consider it as my primary method for learning, as I like to skim read versus read a full piece of text.
My least favourite style of learing according to VARK is Aural, this, I am in agreement with, as I do find simply listening a hard way of learning - as without note taking, it is very hard to stay focused.
