Professor Daniel Willingham describes research showing that learning styles are a myth in this video. I unfortunately cannot remember how I came to learn about and view this video but I can report that this video influenced me to look further into the work of Dr. Willingham and as a result I am currently reading Willingham’s book Why Don’t Students Like School: A Cognitive Scientist Answers Questions About How the Mind Works and What It Means for the Classroom
I am simply amazed when I learn that Youtube is filtered from most K-12 schools. What are we afraid of–our students learning.
