This podcast is well worth a listen. It discusses “learning styles” and explains why it’s a flawed and outdated model. As well as being educational, I found it quite inspirational too.

Hi Iain, Learning styles are a fairly big fad in education land... See also this (free available paper, fairly recent):

The evidence behind the theory is flimsy, but the idea still seems to persist.

Hi Nieky,
That’s a very interesting paper which certainly supports the position taken in Gretchen’s podcast. Thanks for providing the link.
All the best,
Iain
