Hi Terry It seems clear from the research that you identify, that tailoring learning styles to learners is not a productive practice. What is not so clear is the idea that preferred learning styles might encourage engagement with learning. To put it simply a learner might say I want to do that hands on stuff, or conversely they may prefer to read and analyze.
