Acīmredzot tiek praktizēts visai plaši. "Learning Styles: Concepts and Evidence", H. Pashler et al., 2008, Psychological Science in the Public Interest, Association for Psychological Science:
"As described earlier, the concept of learning styles encompasses not only a large body of written materials but also what seems to be a thriving set of commercial activities. The writings that touch on the learning-styles concept in its broadest sense include several thousand articles and dozens of books. These figures may seem surprisingly large, but one should keep in mind the sheer number of different schemes or models of learning styles that have been proposed over the years. For example, in a relatively comprehensive review, Coffield et al. (2004) described 71 different schemes, and they did not claim that their list was exhaustive.
The commercial activity related to learning styles is largely centered around the publishing and selling of measurement devices to help teachers assess individual learning styles; typically, although not always, these devices classify the learner into different style categories. Testing has been recommended by organizations at all levels of education that might be presumed to base their recommendations on evidence. For example, the National Association of Secondary School principles commissioned the construction of a learning-styles test that it distributed widely (Keefe, 1988). Similarly, the Yale Graduate School of Arts and Sciences (2009) currently maintains a Web site that offers advice for Yale instructors; the site informs visitors that "college students enter our classrooms with a wide variety of learning styles." The site goes on to recommend that instructors determine their own "modality of learning" as well as assess their students' learning styles and make their instructional choices accordingly.
Furthermore, the learning-styles concept is embraced in a number of current educational psychology textbooks. [..]"
No izlasītā man kopumā rodas iespaids, ka "mācību stilu" metodoloģija ir izteikti populārāka ASV, taču tas neko nemaina pašā uzstādījumā. |
