- 2. Learning Styles Have you ever wondered if there was a way or a strategy that would help you learn better? Fleming and Mills (1992) suggested four categories that seemed to reflect the experiences of learners. There are several different learning styles that are used by individuals, visual, aural/auditory, read/write, and kinesthetic (VARK). This paper will discuss the different ways that these styles can be utilized as well as this authors best learning style. It will also discuss different strategies to use with each different style. Understanding the different styles and being able to recognize them will help with getting patient care across which is vital in the nursing career. Visual learners, which could have also been called a Graphic learner, retain information better if it is presented with graphics, maps, diagrams, and displays just to name a couple. This does not include PowerPoints and videos that may be presented to them. Aural or auditory learners prefer information that is heard or spoken. These types of learners learn best from lectures, group discussion, and even using mobile phones and emails. Aural/auditory learners usually retain best with talking out loud as well as talking to themselves. The read/ write style prefers information that is displayed in writing and with words. These types of learners are the ones that prefer PowerPoints, written instructions as well as lists. The learning style Kinesthetic, by definition states, perceptual preference related to the use of experience and practices.. This includes demonstrations, stimulations, videos, and movies of real things, as well as case studies, practice and application. If an induvial prefers several of these learning styles they are referred to as a multi-module leaner. Individuals that are referred to as a multi-module learner may think that they have a disadvantage because they do not have just one learning style. Oneself believes that it isnt a disadvantage, but in fact a great advantage.
