The Learning Styles Myth
Captions available
The idea
It is a myth that matching instruction to a student's preferred learning style improves learning outcomes.
In practice
Studies assigning students to matched and mismatched instruction find no reliable advantage for matching.
Where people slip
Preferences are real; the benefit of matching is what fails to appear. Material-appropriate format does matter.
