This group of theorists focused on the easily observable fact that
all learners are not the same, and attempted to systematise those
differences according to learner preferences. With the best of
intentions (in most cases) they divided learners into discrete
groups (e.g Visual, Auditory, Kinaesthetic) and made
recommendations for how educators should treat each group. This
approach has since been widely attacked in multiple studies that
show there is almost no scientific basis to these theories.
Nevertheless they remain popular and in common use. Donald and John
explore the origins of learning styles, and the reasons for its
enduring popularity as an idea. Far from being just a mass
delusion, was it perhaps in some of its formulations the signs of a
burgeoning - and welcome - recognition of difference among
learners?
