LEARNING STYLE PROFILER • Research shows that students do learn differently. The way each person prefers to learn is
called his/her learning style. It is simply the method by which he/she learns best, that is, the way his/her brain absorbs and recalls information. A more academic definition of an individual’s learning style is "the complex manner in which, and conditions under which, learners most efficiently and most effectively perceive, process, store, and recall what they
are attempting to learn" (James, 1995)1 or "the preference or predisposition of an individual to perceive and process information in a particular way or combination of ways" (Sarasin, 1998)2.
• The idea of individualized learning styles originated in the 1970s and has gained popularity in recent years. Extensive research has been conducted, especially in the USA, on various learning styles. It is now accepted by researchers that the early identification of students’ learning styles plays a significantly positive role in their learning process and in their performance. A number of learning style models has been identified by researchers. Some of these models include the Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), Howard Gardner’s Multiple Intelligence Model, Kolb’s Learning Style, Jackson’s Learning Style Profiler, Dunn and Dunn Model, NC State University Index of Learning Style, the VAK Model and many others.
JUNIOR STUDY SKILLS
• The LSP consists of a series of multiple choice questions which should take each learner no more than 10 minutes to complete. There are no right or wrong answers.
• Each completed questionnaire will be immediately scored by the programme and will provide
the learner with his/her score card or result sheet. The result sheet will firstly identify the learner’s preferred or dominant learning style. Thereafter, the result sheet will provide him/her with the characteristics of his/her dominant or preferred learning style. It will then suggest what the learner should do in order to boost not only his/her dominant learning style but also his/her less dominant styles. Lastly, the result sheet will make recommendations on improving the pupil’s learning strategies.
• These days, in order to achieve academic success, it is vital for learners to know and understand their natural learning style. Not only will this ensure success in their studies but it will also make their studying easier. It is when they study against their natural or dominant learning style that they may struggle and experience difficulties. This applies even to those students who produce good results. In such a case, they are like square pegs in round holes
LEARNING STYLE PROFILER (Grades 4 to 7) • Research shows that students do learn differently. The way each person prefers to learn is
called his/her learning style. It is simply the method by which he/she learns best, that is, the way his/her brain absorbs, processes, stores and recalls information.
• The Study Centre employs the VAK model which is widely used by many learning institutions in the USA including the training bodies of companies. This model looks at learning styles from a psychological perspective. It maintains that we use our senses of sight (Visual), hearing (Auditory) and touch (Kinesthetic – also known as tactile or haptic) to receive, process, store and recall information.
• The VAK Learning Style Profiler or Inventory or Index will:• help learners identify their natural learning style, i.e. how they prefer to learn• highlight the main characteristics of their preferred or dominant learning style• suggest ways in which they can reinforce their preferred learning style and boost their less
dominant learning styles• provide suggested strategies to complement their revealed learning style• recommend the actions that they need to take to sharpen their learning skills overall• enlighten educators regarding their learners’ preferred learning style and enable the
educators to accommodate the learning style of the learners in their teaching methodology• PS A more academic exposition of this profiler is provided herewith

• Research shows that students do learn differently. The way each person prefers to learn is called his/her learning style. It is simply the method by which he/she learns best, that is, the way his/her brain absorbs, processes, stores and recalls information.
• The Study Centre employs the VAK model which is widely used by many learning institutions in the USA including the training bodies of companies.

• The VAK Learning Style Profiler or Inventory or Index will:• help you identify your natural learning style, i.e. how you prefer to learn• highlight the main characteristics of your preferred or dominant learning style• suggest ways in which you can reinforce your preferred learning style and boost your less dominant
learning styles so that you become a holistic learner• provide suggested strategies to complement your revealed learning style• recommend the actions that you need to take to sharpen your learning skills overall• enlighten educators regarding your preferred learning style and enable them to accommodate your learning style in their
teaching methodology• A learning style can also assist workers who may want to know the most effective way in which they absorb and grasp
information, especially when they attend meetings, conferences, workshops or read minutes, reports, manuals etc. • Even more so, learning styles can, to a certain extent, determine how you interact with other persons, such as members
of a family, friends, neighbours educators, employers, colleagues etc. Your learning style can reveal whom you are more likely to be compatible with.
