Indeed, my 4th year Applied Research in Higher Education seminar students are always depressed after reading these articles and Learning Styles are still taught in BEd programs! For further lack of evidence of an "Attribute Treatment interaction" also check out Massa and Mayer in Learning and Indi Diffs 2006 but for a more comprehensive view, see Bjork (co-author on Pashler paper), Dunlosky and Kornell in Ann Rev Psyc 2013 re: knowing how to manage one's own learning. They address the self-regulation and metacognitive processes that fail students. Leading to hope that we can intervene when it comes to these metacognitive processes to improve learning. jill From: Team-Based Learning [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Sibley, James Edward Sent: September-25-14 12:13 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: TBL and Student Learning Styles Hi You might want to look at Pashler...about learning Styles...the research has NOT managed to show that learning styles exist...it feels like such a shame...because my intuition wants them to be true http://www.psychologicalscience.org/journals/pspi/PSPI_9_3.pdf There is some evidence that the Felder Learning Styles does exist.....but no evidence that the other 70 or so learning styles inventory are useful The research question is...being identified as a certain type of learner by an inventory....say visual learner....then I should learn more from a educational experience that is more visual than text or audio...then I should learn more...but unfortunately that is not the case There is some interesting writing around David Kolb's Learning Cycle...I especially enjoyed Zull's The Art of Changing the Brain....which relates the stages of the Kolb cycle to specific brain physiology jim -- Jim Sibley Director Centre for Instructional Support http://cis.apsc.ubc.ca/ Faculty of Applied Science University of British Columbia 2205-6250 Applied Science Lane Vancouver, BC Canada V6T 1Z4 Phone 604.822.9241 Email: [log in to unmask]<applewebdata:[log in to unmask]> Check out my new book Getting Started with Team-Based Learning available at Stylus Publishing<https://styluspub.presswarehouse.com/Books/SearchResults.aspx?str=getting+started+with+team-based+learning> Check out TBL at www.learntbl.ca<http://www.learntbl.ca> (c) Copyright 2014, Jim Sibley, All rights reserved The information contained in this e-mail message and any attachments (collectively "message") is intended only for the personal and confidential use of the recipient (or recipients) named above.
