Learning Styles Don't Exist!

Learning Styles Don't Exist!

I watched the learning styles don't exist video. At first i was interested in the professors claim and wanted to see more of the video. His claim is that a person does not learn by one style alone, they learn by all of the styles because you use your surroundings and experiences to fill in the gaps. I found it hard to comprehend because it is all theory based, trial and error. He has done experiments on it and the results play in his favor. But at eh end of the segment he brought up a good point, about 90% of society believe that there are learning styles. We as teachers are being taught there are learning styles. It would be hard to challenge that question, are there learning styles? I found the video informational but unfortunately I do not agree with his point that students don't have learning styles. I know I learn better if I do something kinesthetically as well as having a visual aid. Each student will be different but I agree with him on his point that no matter the lesson each student will tap into their past experiences and use visual, audio, and kinesthetics to learn a new lesson. I believe that teachers show have multiple levels of learning styles in their lesson plans to make sure all the students understand and can keep learning the lesson being taught.
