If you enjoyed this podcast, we'd love to hear from you!
For years, people have described themselves as visual, auditory or kinaesthetic learners. The idea shaped workshops, training programmes and even educational policy. But what if matching learning to a preferred style does not actually improve how well someone learns?
In this bonus episode, Julia and Valerie look at why learning styles became so popular, what they changed for the better and why the evidence has led many L&D professionals to think differently.
They explore the risks of labelling learners, the distinction between preferences and how learning actually happens and what should influence learning design instead. From motivation and prior knowledge to retrieval practice, feedback, accessibility and reinforcement, this conversation considers how we can recognise individual differences without placing people into boxes.
