Someday I will be dead, and maybe you will want to know about the media I consumed or wanted to consume. Furthermore, while I am still living, perhaps you want ideas on gifts you could give me. Well, either way, you've come to the right place.
Learning Style Be Damned
According to Harold Pashler, teachers should disregard learning style. It is true, students of a certain learning style will enjoy a lesson taught in their way more than students of a different learning style. Yet Pashler’s findings show ways of teaching certain things have uniformly better testing results.
“In almost every actual well-designed study, Mr. Pashler and his colleagues write in their paper, “Learning Styles: Concepts and Evidence,” the pattern is similar: For a given lesson, one instructional technique turns out to be optimal for all groups of students, even though students with certain learning styles may not love that technique.”
Some critics claim Pashler did not survey the literature well enough for strong evidence of the usefulness of matching teaching styles with learning styles, although it does exist.
