Word of the month: Learning styles
|
Do you know about the learning styles and how researchers consider it a myth? Neil Fleming proposed that learners could be categorised into four styles of learning: visual, auditory, reading/writing and kinaesthetic (VARK). He believed that teaching should adapt to each learner's style to make learning effective. In this article, Sangeeta Sathe examines what learning styles are, why they're controversial and their impact on teaching and learning.
