A: EVERYTHING
Everybody has their own unique way of
learning new and difficult information. A student whose learning style is not matched, is a student under stress. A student whose learning style is not matched, is a frustrated, discouraged and bored student. A student whose learning style is not matched will misbehave, either by playing the class fool or switching off and staring out the window. And that’s the best-case scenario!
Have you heard of incidents such as the following?
· Children running around in class, not listening to the teacher?
· Children not caring about consequences?
· Children being violent in the playground?
That’s because their learning styles needs have not been met for such a long time, those children have actually lost their respect for the education system and their in-born drive to learn. Research
around the world has shown a massive improvement in both behaviour and academic results following the implementation of learning styles.
