Understanding a student's learning style is crucial for effective education. The VARK model, one of the most common frameworks, categorizes learning styles into four types: visual, auditory, reading/writing, and kinesthetic. Each style has distinct characteristics; for example, visual learners benefit from diagrams and charts, while auditory learners excel with spoken information. Recognizing these preferences allows educators to tailor their teaching methods, creating a more inclusive and productive learning environment for students.
I think this is not possible always. However, teachers can follow mixed learning style to reach more students.
I agree with Nazime, and I think identifying the learning style of this is not even important since from an inclusion point of view, granting access to a single person can make a difference. I think the most important part in your question is the first one and, in my opinion, the key is simplifying vocabulary and illustrating key concepts through understandable examples.
Learning styles do not exist, at least in a meaningful, useful way. Instead, present highly interactive, well-designed lessons.
It is correct but there are not only these learning styles, there are also the learning styles Honey and Alonso 1994 that allow the teacher to know a little more to their students and take into account these characteristics to transmit information, as with the REAPSES method. These styles are: active: people who like to move, be protagonists. reflective: it implies that we leave time for them to pose questions, to make their summaries. theoretical: they like the order in their ideas. pragmatic: to put knowledge into practice immediately. I consider that includes in these styles auditory, kinesthetic, visual styles.
