Take an Individual Approach with an Open Mind
So, as you can see from the above, the science is definitely not settled on this matter. Titled “ The Problem With Learning Styles”, the article delves into the scientific literature around learning styles, and finds out something interesting: There’s scant evidence to support the idea that learning outcomes are best when teaching techniques align with individuals’ learning styles. In fact, Scientific American recently dedicated a whole article to this topic. It’s also worth remembering that there is no scientific consensus for the accuracy of learning styles. This will keep your mind fresh, and your thirst for learning at its peak. My advice is that while it’s definitely helpful to find your predominant learning style, don’t let this hold you hostage. If you do, you could be missing out on some great content via videos and live presentations, etc. For instance, if you enjoy learning through reading books, you shouldn’t restrict yourself to just this medium. Kinesthetic (physical) - learners learn best by moving and doing.ĭo you recognize yourself in one of the above styles?įor instance, at college, they might be drawn to science subjects that allow them to participate in experiments, or things like mechanical engineering, which again is a subject that has lots of physical interactions.Īlthough each of us learns differently, there should always be flexibility in our learning approach.
