Learning Style is a term that refers to a group of hypotheses that attempt to explain why students learn in different ways. A person’s learning style describes how they process new information, which is usually done through sight, touch, and hearing. Although not as common as the other three senses, taste and smell can nevertheless be useful in solidifying thoughts in our minds.

One of the most frequently accepted definitions of a learning style is that a student’s learning strategy can be classified into three categories: auditory, kinesthetic, and visual learning. These three learning styles were defined by Neil Fleming’s VARK model of student learning. VARK (Visual, Auditory, Reading/Writing, and Kinesthetic) is an acronym that stands for Visual, Auditory, Reading/Writing, Learning Management System, and Kinesthetic. It’s also known as the VAK model because it doesn’t include reading or writing as a category.
