| dc.description | This pilot research aims to contribute to the constructs of VARK learning styles and strategies and its effectiveness on learning from interpretive and quantitative data of Adult learners of English. Semi-structured interviews, documents analysis and observations served as research tools in this mixed methods research. Findings from the study revealed that adult language participants from the experimental group were familiar to notions that did not exist before. On the one hand, learning styles that were identified at school and current course in the post intervention stage were recalled easier than strategies. On the other hand, VARK strategies experienced a perceptual variation by being applied as ‘note-taking’ in classes, rather than being recalled as such at the conceptual level. Interestingly, documents reflected that participants did not apply new VARK strategies in the post intervention stage. Finally, observations revealed that the pre- intervention class presented limited use of strategies and that the post stage had minimally varied, supporting the findings from documents. The results of this study contribute to the current constructs of VARK learning styles and strategies and it serves as a pilot to undergo a longitudinal investigation in Chile. Practical suggestions for further research and pedagogical implications are identified as well. | |
