Knowing your students' different learning styles is critical for effective instruction, student success. Research results show a correlation between learning and teaching styles. Using learning-styles-based teaching is helpful to differentiate instruction: the identification of students' learning approaches can help teachers implement different strategies for the benefit of different learners. According to Anna Holmes (2020), "Learning styles" refer to individual differences in cognitive functioning and academic skills. This concept reflects differences in teachers' personalities, genetic and experiential differences. It mediates between motivation and emotion, on the one hand, and cognition, on the other. Learning styles are the preferred mode according to which different individuals learn; the more specific terms may be regarded as the predisposition to adopt a particular learning strategy regardless of the particular characteristics of the task."
Identifying your students as visual, auditory, reading/writing, kinesthetic learners and aligning your overall curriculum with these learning styles will prove to be beneficial for your entire classroom. Keep in mind. Sometimes you may find that it's a combination of all three sensory modalities that may be the best option. Allowing students to access information in terms they are comfortable with will increase their academic confidence. For example, some students would be deemed, visual learners. Visual learners prefer using images, maps, and graphic organizers to access and understand new information. According to Walker (2020), "auditory learners best understand new content through listening and speaking in situations such as lectures and group discussions. Aural learners use repetition as a study technique and benefit from the use of mnemonic devices." Some students learn by reading and writing, while others are kinesthetic learners who best understand information through tactile representations of data. These students are hands-on learners and learn best through figuring things out by hand (i.e., understanding how a clock works by putting one together).
By understanding what kind of learner, you and/or your students are, you can now better understand how to implement these learning styles into your lesson plans and study techniques. In short, by knowing your students, you learn how to help best them succeed.
