The Myth of Learning Styles
In unit 1, you learned that in education, there are always a variety of theories, thoughts, and prevailing ideas to be considered. As educators, it is essential to know that there is both a science to learning, as well as an art form to teaching. The science of learning has been developed over hundreds of years by a variety of researchers. In the current era of functional MRIs (where scientists can actually watch the brain as it learns), the knowledge of the field has grown dramatically. This includes debunking some well-known theories (learning styles), and the rise of new theories (growth mindset and grit).
This unit you will watch several videos, read a few articles, and explore a website. Additionally, you can read Chapter 6 of Make it Stick, which addresses learning styles.
