Hinweis der Redaktion
- (Fleming and Mills) 1992 Visual (V) This preference includes the depiction of information in charts, graphs, flow charts, and all the symbolic arrows, circles, hierarchies and other devices that instructors use to represent what could have been presented in words. Example: People who want to watch you do a search. Aural / Auditory (A) This perceptual mode describes a preference for information that is "heard." Students with this modality report that they learn best from lectures, tutorials, tapes, group discussion, speaking, web chat, talking things through. Example: People who want to listen to you narrate how to do a search. Read/write (R) This preference is for information displayed as words. Not surprisingly, many academics have a strong preference for this modality. This preference emphasizes text-based input and output — reading and writing in all its forms. Example: People who want a written sheet explaining how to do a search. Kinesthetic (K) By definition, this modality refers to the "perceptual preference related to the use of experience and practice (simulated or real)." Although such an experience may invoke other modalities, the key is that the student is connected to reality, "either through experience, example, practice or simulation.“ Example: People who want to do the search.
- Let’s all jot down what we think our learning preference is to start. Take a few moments to complete your VARK test, whether it is the traditional version or the version for young people. How do we all prefer to learn according to the test? V-A-R-K, Multi-modal Did anyone’s prefered style differ from what they had expected? We were expecting that this group would favour Read/write based on career choice and amount of formal schooling.
- A literature review identified 71 different theories of learning styles ( Coffield, et al. 2004 ).

- Kraemer et al. 2009. The Neural Correlates of Visual and Verbal Cognitive Styles, Journal of Neuroscience . 29 (12): 3792-3798. “ During the imaging session, participants performed a novel psychological task involving both word-based and picture-based feature matching conditions that was designed to permit the use of either a visual or a verbal processing style during all conditions of the task. Results demonstrated a pattern of activity in modality-specific cortex that distinguished visual from verbal cognitive styles.” 18 participants Tested verbal vs. visual learning MRI scan while doing test Findings suggest different areas of the brain are used by verbal and visual learners
- More holistic view of learning, though this does not exclude the existence of learning preferences.
- I was intruigued as to whether there was any research about aboriginal learning styles. It seems to be a fairly universal struggle for libraries and many other institutions to engage with aboriginal groups. (Rasmussen et al 2004, Canadian Journal of Native Studies) LEARNING PATTERNS AND EDUCATION OF ABORIGINAL CHILDREN: A REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE Inuit, Scottish, and tribe from Sierra Leone. Inuit group studied demonstrated strong visual-spatial skills, both in traditional and transitional living situations. Transitional Inuit performed even better than traditional group in spatial testing.– perceiving changes in tundra was offered as a possible explanation for having stronger skills in this area Authors called for a continuation in this kind of research as lifestyle changes have occurred and may affect whether this research still holds true. However, literature generally saw the performance of aboriginal test groups on verbal ability to be far below that of Caucasian control groups. Studies also found a preference for collaborative, creative learning environments with a holistic approach as opposed to highly structured and linear learning environments. Saskatchewan project to make resources for aboriginal students
- More of a multi-modal, holistic approach – away from text dominance Though a move from text-only service delivery is not new at all Ex. lending LPs, VHS, CD-ROMs
- Bibliocommons scrolling book covers – browsing, not a search
- Disclaimer! We’re not picking on Squamish. Want to get our brains working on a question about our service delivery. What do we see? What learning styles are included or excluded? What might be done to improve inclusion of different styles/preferences? Notice lots of kinesthetic learning opportunities for children. We do a good job of bringing in lots of learning modes for young children, but not near as much for adults.
- Text can be terrifying.
- Perhaps we’re being a bit overdramatic here, but we all know there are people who see our shelves and don’t see them as containing anything for them.
- Interesting to note that many Australian libraries are calling themselves learning centres
