Abstract

Recent studies have begun to focus on matching instructional 3 strategies and learning styles. For example, the studies conducted by Biggs, Papalia, and Smith and Renzulli ( cited in Curry, 1990) article has as their primary objective the study and application of learning styles to improve the immediate and long-term results of general teaching-learning processes. According to Guild (cited in Brandt, 1990) , the focal point of the learning style movement is that individuals are different, so one instructional strategy will not suit everyone. Teachers who have begun to explore the notion of learning styles agree that the concept gives them a better understanding of differences and of ways in which they can provide for those differences, thereby improving learning. However, others reject the notion as a fad or impractical (Guild, 1990).
