When Howard-Jones and colleagues surveyed 158 graduate beginning teachers about to enter secondary schools , we found that 82% considered teaching to children’s learning styles could improve outcomes. Learning preferences do exist, in the sense that different individuals may prefer to receive information in different way. For example, it is possible to categorise learners’ preferences in terms of VAK: Visual, Kinaesthetic or Auditory. However, there seems little educational value in doing so. The functionality of different brain regions is sometimes used to support learning style theory.
