 VAK Learning (Visual, Auditory, Kinesthetic) |
| VAK is a popular learning style pedagogical approach. As individuals, we generally engage in all VAK modalities (visual, audio, kinesthetic) to receive and learn new information. One or two are dominant which suggests learners have a natural preference for the way they learn. As such, there is an argument for matching teaching and learning styles to enhance the learning process enabling trainers to address the needs of learners in a more efficient way. As VAK theory has evolved the consensus of opinion has come to support the application of a range of activities during instruction to that of a single learning style. |
