That's not prejudice. That's an interpretation based on the evidence. Telling college students - or anyone - that they should only accept information that comes to them in a single or narrowly defined modality is selling our enormous adaptability and flexibility way short. That's not helpful, it's educational sabotage. Nancy Meluccl

Learning Styles are Eating the Brains of Our Young Worried you might come out as a brute? Does that mean you have prejudged the concept of Learning Styles? Joann Jelly, Barstow College ________________________________ From: drnanjo [[email protected]] Sent: Friday, March 28, 2014 6:49 AM To: Teaching in the Psychological Sciences (TIPS) Subject: [tips] Help! Learning Styles are Eating the Brains of Our Young I am about to embark on a day of volunteer judging of science fair projects for the Los Angeles Unified School District. I've previewed the 20 or so projects to which I am assigned. One of them claims to confirm the existence of learning styles. We don't hold kids to the same standards, I understand. I don't want to obnoxiously squash the research aspirations of budding young, enthusiastic scientists. Any suggestions for how I both assess the work fairly and gently challenge the presenter to reconsider this idea....? I am worried I will come across as a kind of brute.... I'll deal with my fellow judges as adults, since I anticipate more receptivity among the HS Teachers.

I think it could very useful for students looking for good resources for their projects of papers. It's also part of what I'll be presenting at next month's Farmingdale Teachers of Psychology conference: http://www.thepsychfiles.com/2014/03/ep-216-video-youtube-power-search-tips/ Michael Michael A.
