    Nearly all of the studies that purport to provide evidence for learning styles fail to satisfy key criteria for scientific validity. Any experiment designed to test the learning-styles hypothesis would need to classify learners into categories and then randomly assign the learners to use one of several different learning methods, and the participants would need to take the same test at the end of the experiment. If there is truth to the idea that learning styles and teaching styles should mesh, then learners with a given style, say visual-spatial, should learn better with instruction that meshes with that style.

  • The assumption underlying the approach taken here is that the way we teach should be adapted to the way learners from a particular community learn
  • In East Asia, most students see knowledge as something to be transmitted by the teacher rather than discovered by the learners.
  • closure-oriented style for most East Asian students. These closure-oriented students dislike ambiguity, uncertainty or fuzziness.

  • lectures, conversations, and oral directions without any visual backup are very confusing and can be anxiety-producing
  • Another characteristically East Asian learning style is visual learning.
  • Korean students insist that the teacher be the authority and are disturbed if this does not happen
  • concrete-sequential, analytic and field-independent styles
  • They typically base judgement on logic and analysis rather than on feelings of others, the emotional climate and interpersonal values. Compared with American students, Japanese students, like most Asians, show greater reflection (Condon, 1984), as shown by the concern for precision and for not taking quick risk in conversation
  • Diagnosing learning styles and developing self-aware EFL learners Altering the teaching style to create teacher-student style matching Encouraging changes in students' behavior and fostering guided style-stretching Providing activities with different groupings
  • ffective matching between teaching style and learning style can only be achieved when teachers are, first of all, aware of their learners' needs, capacities, potentials and learning style preferences in meeting these needs.
  • In all academic classrooms, no matter what the subject matter, there will be students with multiple learning styles and students with a variety of major, minor and negative learning styles. An effective means of accommodating these learning styles is for teachers to change their own styles and strategies and provide a variety of activities to meet the needs of different learning styles.

    " Learning styles are different ways that a person can learn. It's commonly believed that most people favor some particular method of interacting with, taking in, and processing stimuli or information. Psychologists have proposed several complementary taxonomies of learning styles. But other psychologists and neuroscientists have questioned the scientific basis for some learning style theories. A major report published in 2004 cast doubt on most of the main tests used to identify an individual's learning style."

  • When he reviewed studies of learning styles, he found no scientific evidence backing up the idea. "We have not found evidence from a randomized control trial supporting any of these," he says, "and until such evidence exists, we don't recommend that they be used."

  • “our search of the learning-styles literature has revealed only a few fragmentary and unconvincing pieces of evidence that meet this standard, and we therefore conclude that the literature fails to provide adequate support for apply in learning-style assessments in school settings.”
