Are varied teaching styles important? We all have preferred styles of learning, and when asked that question, 82% of students agree that it is important. But what is it that makes dynamic teaching so important? Consider the followings points. Every person has an increased ability to process information and experience, when it is presented in their learning style(s). However, teachers and professors have a tendency to teach in their styles of learning, neglecting those with different learning styles. Additionally, many students find it tedious and irksome to learn in one style, without any change in their day to day activities.

TL;DR version
Additionally, many students find it tedious and irksome to learn in one teaching style, without any change in their day to day activities.

GIVE COMMENTS AND THOUGHTS PLEASE ON THE LAST POINT IN MY THESIS. And please type them properly, so I can pull quotes and use them as supporting arguments. Try not to be redundant, personalized anecdotes work great!

IMO, no, but since 82% of students agree, I'll bandwagon.

Forgot where I heard this from, but hope this will help.

A teacher who teaches toddlers in a special school uses a method of "self-exploring". Instead of giving everyone a book and pencil, she lets her students wander around and explore the surrounding around them. So if a toddler grabs a rag and starts cleaning a teapot then when he grows up he will have good mechanical skills.

Another was in Japan where teachers don't help out their students, but intends to solve the problems themselves. For example when a student tells on the teacher that s/he took my book. Instead of the teacher going to solver the conflict. They want the students to use their own ways of solving their problems.

As for me, I find it irking that teachers always skips steps when their teaching especially in math. But I like to be taught in a visual way.

edit: When I was in my high school chemistry class, the teacher can't teach and all of us getting low grades proves it. It does not mean we don't like chemistry, but it's the method that teacher uses where she may understand it, but for us we're just staring at her like she got 3 heads.

basically I just need someone to agree that teaching will become boring if the activites are all based on one style only.

CAN ANYONE DO DIS?
