1. General Information
I am Carlos German Rodriguez Iraheta, and I am studying a bachelor in arts at
Universidad Tecnologica. Now, I am in the specialization course, this course is named
Teaching and Administration of the English Language. The specialization course is divided
in six modules. It is developmented in ten months. You need to approve the six modules
and the TOELF test if you want to be graduated. You have to pass every module with 7.0
of grade and in the Toelf test you need to get at least 500 points all of these is a
requirement to complete graduation process.

Management of Technological Resources for the Teaching and Administration of the

English Language is the name of the subject of the fourth module. This subject has the
objective to introduce the students of the specialization in the management of the
technological resources to be updated with the new devices, software, internet and other
resources that offer the sciences.

Technological Resources are very important to be easy the every single class. It can be
used to teach many people that can not to go a classroom. Many universities colleges,
school, academies and educational institutions are using technological resources for many
reasons, first one is a way to offer educational careers and get financial resources.
Secondly, they can graduate many students around the world without campus, and the
last one it is a cheaper way to teach them.

Into the classroom the technological resources facilite the learning in the students. They
can learn using many ways the technology. But, students no just need technology; they
need to be comfortable with the topic, the methods, approaches, the technique and the
activities used by teachers. Teachers need to be very professional and know the better
ways that students can learn. Every students have their own way to learn, these points are
important and the teacher need to be carefully in order to be successfully in the
learning.

There are many sites where students can find their way to learn. VARK is a free site
where user can discover their personal way to learn in an easy questionnaire. There are
four manners to individualize each preferences of the students. They call preference
not style. Style need more data to be considered like that. This site is one of the most
common and widely used to categorizes the learning. Students can also use the model
to identify their preferred learning style and maximize their educational experience by
focusing on what benefits them .
The test result and the description of my learning style

The VARK Questionnaire Results

Your scores were:
 Visual: 0
 Aural: 6
 Read/Write: 7
 Kinesthetic: 6

I have a multimodal (ARK) learning preference.

Multimodal Study Strategies

The multimodal style of learning means that I have a mixed combination of potentialities of the learning styles. The 0 in
the visual category means that I am lacking potential in that area as a learning style. But I have a vary balance learning
style. 60% of the population has that particular style.

One advantage of being multimodal is that I can adapt to different teachers’ styles; so I could be effective in different
circumstances and environment. I could switch to the teacher’s way of teaching because I have many resources to
understand and communicate the information.

According to my score, READ/WRITE category is the highest which means that I need to apply more strategies of
learning and communicating from that category; but, I understand that I could use strategies from the other styles.

Study Strategies (these were selected according to my own result and analysis)

 CONCLUSION

 I am agree with the Vark result. I got 7 in Read /Write; this is the highest grade in
my evaluation. In my opinion Reading is a way to learn theories. You can build
ideas, with just read a information. I use the writing like a way to memorize concept,
to study to an exam, I make diagram to understand many concept.

 The second preferences that I got in the questionnaire was Kinesthetic. My score
was 6. I agree with this result. You can memorise ideas, information, and you can
understand procedures, but if you do not perform the theory, you can not
understated completely the learning .

 The third preference as Aural. I got six. I consider that people have the obligation
to teach they know. My strategies to study are making conceptual map. It is a
good way to record information because I can memorize much information and I
enjoy to explain in that way.
