While recent research evidence has dismissed learning styles as having a significant impact on student learning and success, I do believe that people do have preferred ways they like to learn things. Nevertheless, the format of the content should match the outcome of the learning goal, and instructors should use multiple delivery methods in their instruction. The Avoidant, Competitive and Dependent categories mentioned in the lesson seem more like social interaction profiles rather than learning styles or learning preferences. These categories describe how students communicate and interact with others in the course, not necessarily how they choose to learn.
