According to a study in 2014, most people learnt best by combining different styles, even
though the VARK learning styles are categorised into four distinct types. The study found that
auditory and kinesthetic learning were the most common among participants, while visual
learning was the least common.
This study highlights an important point: how you learn is not fixed. In reality, people often
learn in various ways, and these ways can change throughout their lives. While it can be helpful
to have a general understanding of the different learning styles that exist and how you
personally learn best, taking a comprehensive approach to your education is really important.
Alison Johnson, an academic coach from Southern New Hampshire University (SNHU), said
that strictly sticking to traditional learning styles like VARK may lead to applying the concepts
of those styles incorrectly.
"Students often take online quizzes to discover their learning style, and what happens is they
start saying things like, 'I'm a hands-on learner,' which makes them believe they can't learn in
any other way," Johnson explained.
While traditional styles like VARK provide a good starting point for understanding your
individual learning styles, Johnson and the Academic Support team at SNHU support a more
comprehensive approach.
