Learning Styles

Ok, we've all heard about learning styles, but have you ever taken an assessment survey? Take this survey at www.learning-styles-online.com, and glean an understanding about yourself, your own kids, or the teens you work with. One of my daughters is very much like me, and one is not - this helps me remember that she doesn't learn like I do. Will you find out that the survey accurately identifies you, or will you learn something new about yourself?

I've taken this learning styles quiz and, though I was not surprised at the result, wanted to apply it to the rest of my department. There is quite a bit of buzz regarding "new" teaching styles - hands-on, demonstration, non-lecture formats - but we risk swinging too far from the traditional style and thus neglecting those students who best learn by being lectured. The fact that there can be such a distribution in learning styles indicates that a wide range of teaching styles is appropriate.
