Pay Attention to Students & Not Style.

 

A top takeaway for me was that learning styles are purported ot be traits, like the Big-5 inherited traits. However, the supposed learning style is not inherited and the use of a scientific claim does not stand up! And so let's all keep in mind that the expeience of the learner, their processing ability, and then their developmental level (and maybe perosnl issues relating to noise and encoding info) are more important than trying to cater to a style!  In fact, as noed in this module, learning is more effective when stduents are engaged and not overconfident - and as Feldon noted, thee are "no learning benefits to cater to a style."

Enjoyed this module very much and plan to pay attention to students - not looking for their style.- but for their current needs that day!
