Why did I choose Various Learning Styles as my project?
I believe that it is really interesting how people learn in their own ways and I wanted to study how those ways are being met in today's education system.

"What Are the 4 VARK Learning Styles?" About. N.p., n.d. Web. 06 Nov. 2014.
Learning styles help identify how a person learns. The learning style concept became popular in the 1970s. There isn’t a lot of evidence that shows a person’s learning style influences
their learning results. Learning styles are ways to categorize groups of learners. VARK is the most popular learning style model. VARK categorizes learners into four groups, visual, auditory, reading and
writing and kinesthetic learners. Visual learners learn more with “pictures, movies, and diagrams”. Third
paragraph. Auditory learners learn better with “music, discussion, and lectures”. Third
paragraph. Reading and writing learners tend to understand more when they “make lists,
read textbooks, and take notes”. Third paragraph. Kinesthetic learners are able to learn easier when they are able to move
around and do more hands-on activity.
Research Shows That…
"Different Learning Styles in Education." Education.com. N.p., n.d. Web. 24 Oct. 2014. Everyone learns differently and has their own learning style. Neil Fleming developed a learning style model in 1987 called VAK. VAK stands for the first letters of the different styles which are visual, auditory and
kinesthetic. After more research Fleming updated VAK by adding another learning style
read/write so now his model is called VARK. No one has just one learning style. People who have the visual learning style can see something and store that
information. Visual learners like to deal in the details and usually are good readers and
organizers. They can be distracted easily and remember a face more that a name. They also need eye contact to focus on what a person is talking about.
People who are auditory learners like to be told things rather than read them. People who are kinesthetic learners learn by actually doing the task or physically
touching what they are learning about. A kinesthetic learner usually are good in the outdoors, are good in sports or drama,
they show their feeling through physical action, and they like to figure things out for themselves. They sometimes get labeled as difficult or have ADHD.
