  • The VARK model was first developed by Fleming and Miller in 1992
  • It identifies four styles of learning. They are:
    • Visual learners absorb knowledge from images such as maps, graphs and charts
    • Auditory learners absorb knowledge through their sense of hearing such as via lectures or discussions
    • Read/Write learners absorb knowledge best through reading and writing about the subject
    • Kinesthetic learners absorb knowledge by doing something, such as carrying out a task
  • By knowing your own and your team’s learning styles you can optimise the efficiency of learning and development opportunities
  • These learning styles are not mutually exclusive, however, individuals usually have one learning style that is more effective than the others
  • Other learning style theories include the works of Kolb and Honey and Mumford
