Human Growth and Development / Unit 18 HGD 2584 short lesson, about 20 seconds
Learning Styles, the Misconception
Captions available
The idea
Learning styles is the idea that people learn best through a preferred mode, entry 0933, and the meshing hypothesis, matching instruction to style, lacks evidence, entry 0934.
In practice
A questionnaire labelling a student a visual learner, and no experiment showing matched teaching helps.
Where people slip
Multiple intelligences are not learning styles: Gardner describes abilities, not preferred ways of receiving instruction, entry 0931.
