Why is it important to understand learning styles?
What do learning styles mean?
And how can they influence the way you teach or coach others?
The whole concept of learning styles is not new.
The Greeks recognised that different people learn in different ways, and over the years we have seen the application of learning categorised so that we can learn in the way that is not only the most convenient and comfortable for us, but also the way that enhances our appreciation of the ideas learned.
We need to understand learning styles so that, if we are coaching or mentoring others, we set out our stall in a way that is conducive to the individual(s) and their abilities to absorb information.
If we get it wrong, it can impact the learner in a detrimental way.
