Wise, Alice
COABE Journal: The Resource for Adult Education, v11 n1 p64-70 Spr 2022

What contribution does the recent movement to debunk the validity of learning styles make to teaching adults? This article challenges the purpose for debunking learning styles and emphasizes the need to have students develop a deeper knowledge of their own learning preferences while encouraging instructors to provide variety in delivering content to appeal to the large number of learning preferences perceived by their students.
