Personal learning styles are critical to the acquisition of crucial skills necessary to complete a
specific task or objective. Though some learning styles may not be best suited to some cases,
they tend to solve critical cases. To enhance student learning, learners are expected to analyze
their learning styles and determine whether they need to make any changes. Subsequently, this
paper will analyze my preferred learning style, compare it with a desirable learning style, and
examine whether my learning style has shaped by current level of skills by determining how
learning styles normally affect student learning.
The VARK questionnaire demonstrates that I have a very strong kinesthetic learning preference.
Whereas my use of kinesthetic learning preference was 14, the questionnaire indicates that I also
utilized other learning styles to an extent, for example, visual (8), aural (4), and read/write (6).
According to Samarakoon, Fernando, Rodrigo, and Rajapakse (2013), kinesthetic learners tend
to combine knowledge acquisition with the body movement of a learner. In other words, the
learner prefers learning something new by applying the knowledge acquired from reading,
listening, discussing, and so forth. Therefore, my learning goes beyond the grasp of theoretical
concepts to include its application in real-life situations. Visual learning preferences is also a
critical learning style for me. This involves the use of visual depictions like photographs, graphs,
maps, among others to gain knowledge of a situation. I find the two learning styles to be critical
in my line of work, especially considering that I offer services with the potential to save the
