Your Teacher Lied to You About VARK Learning Styles

I tutor handwriting (and sometimes other things), and … well … things got “interesting” on the day that a new student asked (actually, ORDERED) that I must never have her look at anything, trace anything, or copy anything because (she said) she was an auditory learner instead, so (she declared’) I “needed” to teach her entirely by talking! Unsurprisingly, she did not book a second lesson (you can imagine how the first lesson went, or, rather, didn’t go) However, since that day, I have had a lot of fun talking about this incident with believers in “learning styles,” and asking what they would suggest for the next auditory learner who calls and asks me for handwriting lessons

In my own experience, I learn best the more deeply I think about the material And that all depends on how engaged I become with what I'm learning brbrI used to think I was an interactive type of learner since I have always scored better in problem solving classes like chemistry and physics compared to something like biology But in retrospect, it really came down to my professors and how they presented the information

Reading and writing right here No matter what form it takes I learn best if I get to write my own notes , even if it’s a word by word copy

I don’t really agree with this Neurodivergence has its own category of learning as well I agree that it’s important to be adaptive but that doesn’t negate the central style that works best for people

This is so true I think that this is one of the biggest reason of why students get extremely stubborn about learning In life, your going to need to be flexible and adaptive; you're going to be needing to learn and interpret information in many different ways You might need to listen to a lecture and draw a graph to present your information, or you might need to read a textbook and write an essay I see so many people in lower sets in my school say to teachers: "oh I can't learn through a textbook I need a diagram" Furthermore, I think that teachers in high school don't really encourage you to be flexible and adaptive with the way you learn Like you said in the video they just tell you: "stick to your strengths" they offer multiple ways to learn for students and say: "remember to only stick to the way you feel most comfortable learning" In a sense it is a good think but only to a slight extent, in the long run I don't think it will benefit any students if they are taught to not face their weaknesses and not be taught to be adaptable Anyway that's enough of my essay haha Props to anyone who managed to read the whole way through! :D
