Learning Styles Don't Actually Exist, Studies Show
notes
this is good to understand.
i don't think it's bad students have preferences or an emotional attachment to a learning style.
it's just good to be aware of and for both the student and teacher to know that learning can still happen (maybe just as affectively) in other styles.
if anything, learning something in multiple ways has been shown to increasing learning outcomes as opposed to just seeing it one way!
but all of this takes time. learning slowly is worth the space if we can carve it out and not be so attached to being overly "productive"

summary
This article challenges the widely held belief in learning styles, citing numerous studies that have debunked the concept. It argues that while students may have preferences on how they learn, there's no evidence that catering to these preferences improves learning outcomes. The author also questions other assumptions in the education system and encourages a critical examination of common practices.
