What is a Learning Style Anyway?
Learning styles are various approaches or ways of learning. Everyone can be a successful learner when the information is pushed out to the learner using the methods that best address their individual style of learning whether it be kinesthetic-tactile, auditory or visual-spatial. Teaching a student outside of their style of learning doesn't necessarily mean complete failure but it can impede the progress. Delivering content to a student in the manner in which he/she learns best is sometimes difficult in a classroom of students and can no doubt be best obtained through one-one-one teaching however it is refreshing to see a huge push and education of teacher's minds towards creating a differentiated classroom - gearing learning toward the individual styles, needs, interests and personality of the child. In other words, not all students will work at the same pace or on the same material but all students will cover the same objectives to master. It's a wonderful thing to witness classrooms making the shift from the traditional teacher based classroom to the student based classroom. It is not a change that will happen overnight but it is a change and it is on the rise.
