if you have disabilities that make you unable to learn in one style then of course some styles won’t work for you. Near-sighted people who can’t afford glasses already experience reduced performance in school. People like me who have Auditory Processing Disorder kind of get fucked in the ass if the teachers don’t have any additional resources other than speaking in front of class.
But generally, learning styles was disproven. The difference of retention between ones “preferred learning style” and the control was insignificant, but learning in varied styles is better than only absorbing it in only one way. Relating information to another also helps more.
It’s pretty much not. Literally everyone learns best by “doing”, and the other styles (reading, visual, auditory) depend much more on the content (visual graphs are good for geometry, reading is good for history etc) than the student. Also people’s responses on surveys about learning styles are very inconsistent, it’s pretty solidly disproven since about 2008
What is the bullshit about that? AFAIK that is true and not everyone learns the same way.
