Learning Styles: Help or Hindrance?
10.00 am to 4.00 pm on Thursday 10th November 2005
University of London Institute of Education
Jeffery Hall
The seminar will be of interest to teachers, managers, policy-makers and researchers involved in all areas of education and training.
Speakers: Prof. Frank Coffield, Kathryn Ecclestone and David Moseley
Only one of the thirteen models of learning style we examined was found to fully meet our criteria for reliability and validity. Does this matter? Despite weaknesses in all of the most popular models, the promotion of learning styles as a way to transform learning continues apace. Can these models still help us to improve the quality of teaching and learning? The seminar will provide opportunities for discussion and debate as well as detailed examination of popular models of learning style, a critique of the appeal and use of learning styles and an updating of research and development since our two reports were published by LSDA (downloadable from www.lsda.org.uk/pubs/ publication reference numbers 041543 and 041540).
