Procedures for Using VARK Questionnaire
VARK refers to a questionnaire that helps learners suggest topics that should be applied. VARK is an acronym for four modalities of student learning Visual, Aural, Read/Write, and Kinesthetic sensory modalities applied to acquire knowledge through learner and teacher experiences. VARK is founded on the belief that students process and retain information differently and possess certain learning styles that help them study perfectly (Fahim et al., 2021). Questions in VARK can be expressed as tests where respondents can choose various items within a question. The score represents the favorable learning styles from respondents and indicates instructional techniques that should be employed to facilitate effective learning. As a learning tool, it helps create learning procedures by teachers and programmers that inspire students and attract more attention to the subject.
VARK questionnaires are a sequence of questions that provide people with a profile of their learning priorities and processing data. The tool is specifically crucial for learners since it enables them to understand and learn more about their learning styles and succeed more (Fleming & Baume, 2006). While using VARK, narratives from the students or the subject under investigation are expressed to probe VARK principles and solutions within their framework. The respondent is encouraged to provide honest answers to the questions. Participants can fill out VARK questionnaires online, although the results will not be saved automatically. Also, participants might decide to purchase a subscription that facilitates direct saving of results. Lastly, researchers can use paper copies that provide raw scores that should be analyzed.
