I’m not really sure what you’re trying to say here? if I say “I generally prefer a demonstration to an explanation” that’s the same thing as describing my “learning style” its personal preference, we don’t need scientific support for that any more than we need scientific support for people having different favorite foods

there are definitely different learning styles wtf? have they ever heard about gardners multiple intelligences theory?

That is not what cognitive dissonance is. Cognitive dissonance is the discomfort caused by holding 2 or more conflicting beliefs. Whether or not either of the beliefs are true is irrelevant

That is not the same thing, and even that is just a theory

Take a few minutes to google it. There’s as much scientific support for different learning styles as there is for flat earth…

It literally is. You can’t consistently believe “I am logical and believe in science” while also believing in something that science has rigorously debunked.

I don’t understand what you’re saying is debunked still, exactly the concept that people prefer different methods? that doesn’t make any sense. If you’re saying there’s no statistical difference between learning outcome with preferred method or other methods, sure, but denying that people have preferences just doesn’t make any sense

Yes, I’m saying that it’s obtuse af that people think that tailoring education to their “preferred style” is useful. Try to critically think for a moment about why people have a “preferred style”; could it be that it’s because they think that it’s more effective?? Stupid ass 🙄

hun, stating something as undeniable fact without even bothering to be descriptive about what you actually mean is obtuse. Your writing teacher clearly didn’t use the right learning style for you if you think calling me a stupid ass is remotely convincing about your point.
