I have been aware for some time that learning styles do not exist (except perhaps as mentioned: a set of previously learned techniques).
However, it does seem to be part of the culture now (like the Mozart effect) and it may be too late to turn the tide. Especially since, I have heard many instances of it being promoted by educators or those selling products (such as concept diagrams for visual learners). Not that concept diagrams are not useful, but it seems only "visual learners" can get the most from them by definition. I have also had little luck on convincing anyone that learning styles (and the Mozart effect) do not exist (as they are commonly understood). Oh well. --Mike --- To make changes to your subscription contact: Bill Southerly ([email protected])
