Would it not be better to simply acknowledge that all learners are different, and that all can benefit from a range of varied experiences that ultimately leads to enriched personal experiences?

Rita Gupta on 02 Jun 12This goes hand in hand with the other article that talks about how learners learn by the best means for that particular lesson. That idea can provide the varied expericences that can benefit all students.

Meghan Hynes on 04 Jun 12It makes sense...all students benefit from seeing a lesson presented in many different ways. Just because a student is a visual learner, does not mean that they won't benefit from a hands on or listening activity.

They then actively seek to maximise their 'learning style' by engaging in reflective activities, or visually rich media.

I am not sure this is true. I don't think people actively seek out their "own" way of learning. I don't think people have that much control over it. Students learn in the way it is presented to them.

I agree! Especially at a younger age, students don't know which way they learn best. They only know what is presented to them, and as sad as it is, sometimes that material is only ever presented in one way.

I agree as well. Even if a questionnaire did tell you how you learned best, how do you know the questionnaire was an accurate test? I had to take one of these tests in 7th grade and honestly, it did not change the way I did things at all.

Such categorisation of students is an absolute nonsense and the practice of doing so should be challenged strongly
