1. VARK Analysis Paper
Learning styles represent the different approaches to learning based on preferences,
weaknesses, and strengths. For learners to best achieve the desired educational outcome,
learning styles must be considered when creating a plan. Complete “The VARK
Questionnaire,” located on the VARK website, and then complete the following:Click “OK” to
receive your questionnaire scores.Once you have determined your preferred learning style,
review the corresponding link to view your learning preference.Review the other learning
styles: visual, aural, read/write, kinesthetic, and multimodal (listed on the VARK
Questionnaire Results page).Compare your current preferred learning strategies to the
identified strategies for your preferred learning style.Examine how awareness of learning
styles has influenced your perceptions of teaching and learning.In a paper (750‐1,000
words), summarize your analysis of this exercise and discuss the overall value of learning
styles. Include the following:Provide a summary of your learning style according the VARK
questionnaire.Describe your preferred learning strategies. Compare your current preferred
learning strategies to the identified strategies for your preferred learning style.Describe
how individual learning styles affect the degree to which a learner can understand or
perform educational activities. Discuss the importance of an educator identifying individual
learning styles and preferences when working with learners.Discuss why understanding the
learning styles of individuals participating in health promotion is important to achieving the
desired outcome. How do learning styles ultimately affect the possibility for a behavioral
change? How would different learning styles be accommodated in health promotion?Cite to

Effectiveness15.0 Thesis Development and Purpose5.0Paper lacks any discernible overall
purpose or organizing claim.Thesis is insufficiently developed or vague. Purpose is not
clear.Thesis is apparent and appropriate to purpose.Thesis is clear and forecasts the
development of the paper. Thesis is descriptive and reflective of the arguments and
