Notas del editor
“ In conclusion, students will vary in their learning styles. It is easy for teachers to forget about varying their teaching strategies to address the needs of different learning styles. We often tend to use the learning style that has worked for us.
Our students come from a variety of backgrounds, experiences, and preferences. For teachers, it is important to differentiate and provide a wide range of activities and ways to explain concepts to meet as many learning styles as possible. ”
