Misconceptions of Learning Styles | Anita Acai | TEDxGuelphU

[@originalvonster]

2:08 learning styles do not exist 6:45 task switching poor learning 7:10 testing yourself (retrieval practice) 8:05 desirable difficulty and motivation to learn 8:30 interleaving (learning better mixing up skills)

[@tubewatchingelephant]

Nice job! Yes, the presenter is nervous but she stayed going and delivered a really solid presentation with valuable content. TED has a lot of highly polished presenters who deliver waffly content. This is much better than most of that.

[@xObscureMars]

Yes she is obviously brave for fighting through it. People are assholes w their comments.

[@JohnSmith-sz9bz]

People always try to convince me they are good multi-taskers but I have a hard time believing that. The "task switching" you mentioned makes a lot of sense to me. I have a hard time switching my focus across multiple things and it irks me that others say they are multi-taskers when in reality they are just better task switchers.

[@stevenfarrington5406]

Great material. I think it was a shame that she seemed so nervous during this speech. But great points!

[@suskigirl]

Very informative session. Gives you something to think about when you hear people say they are great at multi-tasking.

[@elizabethschmidt1490]

she did such a good job!

[@mettlehed76]

This was informative. I started looking this topic up because I studied multiple intelligences in grad school, but never did I think I'd encounter what I do now, at work....people who pick 1 'learning style' for themselves as an excuse to not make the effort to absorb information. It's like effort isn't taken into account now...managers bend over backwards out of fear of discriminating even when there isn't an actual learning disability in play. People learn that they can just drop this pop psychology term into the conversation to excuse their own laziness.

[@IncDesparche]

thank you! Amazing. I've always thought these myths make no sense at all

[@Sarvebhavntusukhinah1111]

i cant focus with the UMs

[@SM_zzz]

Great talk, thank you ;) 100 "oms" btw, I multi-tasked, using auditory and visual skills while still paying attention to the content

[@ncpolley]

Sounds like you tuned out the interview and then back in selectively while searching the information.

[@SM_zzz]

@@ncpolley Searching for the information in the grey matter, indeed.

anyone else find it hard to follow because of the 1,000 umm?

[@msshelbyful]

Minute and half into it and the only thing I get from it is “um” every 15 seconds. 😫

[@dianaolinger2729]

Every sentence began with "Umm" The information was interesting, but UMM maybe she should take a public speaking class?

This video should be renamed “Mixed signals: do I really know what I’m talking about?” 😂

[@josephjefferson2617]

You've proved nothing. Some of this was useful, but most of this was an exercise in overintellectualized research. There are preferred ways that people learn. Sometimes they use these methods without knowing the categorizations. Thank the Creator of the universe that there ARE the categorizations. Now, do folks learn according to a hybrid or combination of the different learning styles? The answer is YES. However, don't dismiss the learning styles, because they give people understandings of how they learn best.

[@mobiusII]

The key word you used in your third sentence was "preferred". Research has shown that there is no correlation between learning in a preferred style and having higher retention of content.

[@josephjefferson2617]

@@mobiusII Yes, there is NO guarantee that ALL students will have a higher retention of content, but what guarantee is there that the masses will not have a higher retention of content? A Guestimate???

[@mobiusII]

I agree with the 1st part of your statement, but I don't understand the 2nd part. Could you elaborate?

[@josephjefferson2617]

@@mobiusII LOL. What are these findings based upon? A small segment of a population?

[@mobiusII]

@@josephjefferson2617 Yes, these findings are the result of the scientific testing of the Learning Styles hypothesis. The results found zero, and sometimes a negative, correlation between lessons and assessments administered according to learning styles and student performance. There have been several of these studies done that all achieved the same results. Like all studies, random sampling and repeatable outcomes allow the researchers to extrapolate the results to the population as a whole.
