Acutally, not. The education system has been getting progressively worse for the past 30 years at least.
Abolish public education.

“the learning styles theory is the biggest myth in education.”
It’s a cope to try to explain group differences that are ultimately biological. High on copium, they are.
I am calling bs on this, and if you give a large grant I can easily prove it
Obviously these folks aren't in the 'visual learners' group.
While I agree that nothing beats grit and effort, I think the idea that people have preferred ways to learn is sound.
Some people really have to read the material and others can do well listening to a taped lecture.
However, I do think we need changes to something that is more pass-fail, where passing means a 90% grade in a grading system.
Bookmark.
For $20K I'll write a grant proposal for you.
I ixedntify as being in the “Meme” learner group.
By their actions some students seem to prefer learning by talking over the teacher, or beating him up.
They aren’t stagnating, they are rotting... from the head down and from the inside out. Also, they don’t teach, they indoctrinate and if they aren’t indoctrinating, they are scolding.
That said... I am a reading/writing learner. I hate listening to lectures and speeches. Unless the speaker has a magically mellifluous voice, I retain almost nothing.
However, if I read it, it sticks forever. I even re-read stuff in my dreams!
LOL.
Maslow and his self actualization pyramid is another one that is wrong. In fact, there is evidence he got it backwards
Almost anything by Spencer, Piget, james, and Nodding is demonstratedly wrong.
Without realizing it they have replaced Dewey, who though flawed at least tried to develop pedagogy as a science, with the younger Heidegger. Heidegger was in charge of the NAZIfication of German school. He is a total subjectivist and the founder of Post Modernism.
The whole system is irretrievably ruined. It must be destroyed and replaced.
And yes, my PhD is in Education Philosophy, this is my feild.
These are the people who says if a boy baby grabs a doll he is actually a girl.
Take everything they say with a big chunk of salt.
Semantics. If you really don’t like to read or if you can only get information from reading, it will affect your ability to learn.
Sheeeeit. Hell naw! Das rayciss!!!
I’m not reading the article. But people have different learning styles.
I disagree with his premise.
“And yes, my PhD is in Education Philosophy, this is my field.”
If you don’t mind a question — do you have thoughts on the field of adult education (androgogy per Knowles) and the learning styles concepts being rejected by the cited article? I work in this area and have studied it at the masters level. My experience says “learning styles” may be stating it incorrectly as it is more about getting the learner to make the connection of the knowledge to their specific need/application in order to ensure “learning.” The “styles” part comes down to how the knowledge is presented so there is no barrier to receiving the knowledge. I welcome your thoughts.
If you can do it on contingency pm me :)
I’ve known for years that the only way I can “get” information is to see/read it.
