Summary

In this paper, the author explains that each individual learns differently due to which a single style of learning cannot be used throughout an area. Even in a class of a few children, the learning styles are different due to which a student will learn differently compared to others. In order to get rid of such differences, students should be taught according to their understanding capacity and their favorite mood of learning. Just as the understandings of students are different from each other, the motivation level of students also vary accordingly due to which every student should be considered separately in order to achieve better results.

However, it is also clear that the concept of "quality" is rooted in two crossroads: on one hand, it faces the various denominations leading to coexisting interpretations, and secondly, faces obstacles in measuring outcomes Hutchings et al, 2011).

Interpretation

The theory of learning styles was established as a field of convergence between Education and Psychology which incorporates components of constructivist teaching and learning and teaching of science. In this framework, learning is seen as a dynamic process in which individual characteristics or students interact with teachers (Woolfolk, 2011). In fact, the psychological, educational and cultural aspects state that theories of the mind that are educationally interesting contain specifications of resource that a mind needs to operate efficiently. Stahl (1999) also believe that cognitive processes are intimately linked ...
