The VARK questionnaire: What is my learning style?

My results from this test are as follows:

Visual-0

Aural-5

Read/write-15

Kinesthetic-9

This test confirms the fact the my dominant learning style is read/write.  I already use most of the suggested strategies for learning and studying.  My main strategy though is to summarise large chunks of material into diagrams and short paragraphs.  I believe that it was very important for me to be able to identify my learning style.  My rationale for this is that it helps me to avoid unintentionally designing courses which accommodate my own style as opposed to material that appeals to students across the spectrum of learning styles.  I am of the opinion that learning styles must be considered when designing reflective activities.  Since the reflective process is a very personal one I believe that students should be given free reign in terms of options for presenting their reflections.  Reflective assignments should be designed in such way that each student is able to present that information in the format that is most comfortable for him or her.
