Learning Styles

Claims: Learning Styles Don't Exist

1. You store information in three ways; visually, auditorally, and kinestheticly.

2. Teachers want students to learn on a basis of meaning rather than 1 of the 3 learning styles.

3. The way students learn is based on the nature of the question rather than how they recall things best.

• Learning Styles Don't Exist

Claims: Multiple Intelligence (Learning Styles do Exist)

1. It is a theory that was developed to show that humans have very different ways that ideas get through to their minds.

2. Education that treats everyone the same is very unfair education.

3. Everything that can be taught can be taught in more than one way, and everything that can be shown can be shown in more than one way.

• Howard Gardner of the Multiple Intelligence Theory

Learning styles are the idea that kids learn in different ways and that you should change your teaching styles to fit each child's particular learning habit. Multiple intelligence theory is the idea that everything can be taught in different ways and you should teach the way that the children would learn the subject best.
