Sažetak
The VARK model suggests that individuals have unique preferences for learning, which can be assessed through the VARK questionnaire. A recent review of 40 articles about the VARK model investigated the validity and reliability of the questionnaire, as well as the relationship between learning style preference and various outcomes. The review found that the VARK questionnaire is generally considered a valid and reliable tool for assessing an individual's learning style preference, in many fields, especially in medicine, kinesiology and economics. Furthermore, an individual's learning style preference, as measured by the VARK questionnaire, may be related to their academic performance or other outcomes. However, this relationship is complex and influenced by various factors. Therefore, it is important to recognize that there is no unique approach to teaching, and different individuals may benefit from different teaching methods. The review also discovered that an individual's learning style preference may vary based on demographic factors such as age, gender, and cultural background. However, the relationship between learning style preference and these factors is intricate and influenced by other variables. Therefore, understanding an individual's learning style preference can be useful in designing educational materials and programs tailored to their needs and preferences. The review found that individuals with different learning style preferences engage with learning materials or activities differently. This finding suggests that understanding an individual's learning style preference can be helpful in designing educational materials and programs that cater to their specific needs and preferences. Finally, the review suggests that the VARK questionnaire is a valid and reliable tool for assessing an individual's learning style preference. However, the relationship between learning style preference and various factors is complex and influenced by various other factors, making it crucial to consider individual differences and needs when designing educational materials and programs.
