Question

Mrs. Turner has been using a learning styles inventory in her ninth grade English class. She gives students the inventory, tells them to identify their learning style, and instructs them to use their dominant learning style when they study and complete assignments. She groups students according to learning styles for some assignments and tries to teach to their learning styles.
What seems to be lacking in Mrs. Turner's knowledge of learning styles? If she were informed, what might she do differently in her teaching?

Answer 1

Answer:

Mrs. Turner's lack of knowledge of learning styles that it is important to be able to learn through different ways, methods, or learning styles. It is supported by many scientists and researchers that it is better for a student to develop new and different ways or styles to learn.

If she was more informed she might make groups of students more diverse with different types of learning styles in each group in order for students to help build off each other and support each other when a particular style is not the most efficient way to learn.
