Home > Teaching & Learning > Providing variety in Teaching and Learning Styles is vital because:

• People learn best in different ways
• Each of us has a preference for the way we receive information and the way we process it
• Learners need opportunities to work with their different intelligences so that learning is optimised
• A teacher's own preferred learning style can become their preferred teaching style which can mean that two thirds of the class are repeatedly working outside their own preferred learning style
• To constantly work outside one's own preferred learning style can lead to boredom and lack of motivation. Strongly kinaesthetic learners are the students who are most disadvantaged in secondary schools
