Improving Memory

VARK is a learning preference model that categorizes how students prefer to receive information: Visual, Auditory, Read/Write, and Kinesthetic. In science education, VARK is often used to encourage teachers to vary instructional strategies—such as diagrams, discussions, texts, and hands-on activities—to increase student engagement. While VARK can support differentiation by promoting instructional variety, it is most effective when used flexibly alongside evidence-based frameworks like Universal Design for Learning (UDL), ensuring that all students have multiple ways to access and interact with scientific content rather than being limited to a single preferred style.
