Learning Styles

I was recently reading the July-August 2024 issue of Science and Children, a journal published by the National Science Teaching Association. In this issue, I read the “Science 101” section, written by Matt Bobrowsky.  He wrote a Q and A article entitled: “Q: If Students Have Different Learning Styles, What Kinds of Science Activities Are Best for Reaching All Students?”  

For a more well-rounded educational experience, teachers can use “multimodal” teaching.  Examples include visual, kinesthetic, and auditory.  But that does not mean that students have specific “learning styles.”  If students believe they have a particular “learning style” it can lead to a self-limiting mindset.
