MY STUDYING STYLES
1.INTRODUCTION
Studying styles are different to all people and everyone has a way of learning and
they are educationally intended to identify how people learn best. I will be in detail
more on my learning styles on the VARK Questionnaire that I have submitted that is
were mostly I got more detail on improving my study skills. This will be more on the
reflection on the changes I need to make on my study process. I need to refer to my
learning style results that are: visual, aural, read/write or kinesthetic. This will help to
improve my study skills and get more study methods.
2.REFLECTIONS ON MY STUDY PROCESS
Previously I used to study the week before I write a paper and that would be the
cause of procrastinating. That made me to not be confident on my work because I
did not have enough time to study. I used to cram most of my notes but the best way
that I knew worked for me was to listen in class or go to YouTube and get the
explanation on that chapter then on a page I would write down all that I have
understood. During matric I used to have limited time to study but I would just read to
understand but that would take most of your time because in matric is mostly recap
from grade 10 and grade 11 work then with grade 12 work that would be added. My
study processes were not successful because I would cram to write the following day
but if during final we will write the I would have to cram again because I have forgot.
3. MY LEARNING STYLE
My VARK results show that mild aural with a preference like listening, discussing,
talking, questioning. With this information I’m not disputing it because these were the
preferences that I used. These results from the VARK Questionnaire were, ;
Visual(1)were by you learn by seeing information just like pictures, movies and
diagrams; Aural(8) were by you learn best by hearing information even tend to
remember things told like music, discussion and lectures; Read/Write(5) prefer to
take in information that is displayed as words and text just like making lists, reading
textbooks and taking notes; Kinesthetic(2) learn best by touching and doing.
4. HOW I CAN IMPROVE MY STUDY PROCESS
I have learned from the VARK questionnaire to improve my studying skills because
the study method that I used worked for a short period and for a different cause so
now I have learnt that these study method was given by the questionnaire will help
me in the long run. It will improve my learning style. I could improve my learning style
by using the ways to study by the VARK questionnaire.
5.CONCLUSION
The study style presented in this report shows all that is to know about me as a
person, on how I do things and how do I analyze things to know and to remember.
The study preference that had the highest point was the aural way of studying were
by I would learn best by hearing information better to remember and know what to
write.
