Project Description
Learning Style refers to the theory that students learn best when instructed in their learning preference. It is a misconception that continues to resurrect in education, and a theory that lacks empirical evidence that when students are taught in their individualized learning style it will improve the student’s learning experience which will then lead to improved academic outcomes. Although its intentions were in the best interest of students' learning experience, it has done more harm than good.
