The idea of learning styles has been around since the 1960s. It was created as an idea that people learned best through one particular way of learning.
Some of the most popular forms of learning styles include:
- Visual: Reading and looking at pictures of what they are learning
- Verbal: Reciting or talking to someone else about what they are learning
- Aural: Listening to someone teach them something
- Kinesthetic: Physically using your body and your sense of touch to learn
Back when this theory was introduced, teachers would create tests for students so they could figure out how best they learn. Everything they were taught from that moment on, they would develop based on the results of their individual learning style test.
Over time researchers have found that this is falsely developed and the best way to teach people is by using a mix of multiple learning styles, instead of just one. Back when students were learning based on just one style, they were falling behind or lacking the information they needed because they were entirely focused on one form of figuring out information.

By discovering the idea that students do not fully gain knowledge through just one learning style, many students have come to realize their true potential. They were no longer limited to the struggles of absorbing their education in a single manner which helped in educating learners quicker and more efficiently.
There are many different ways that people can develop the abilities of their mind, we just have to get creative sometimes and understand that the best education techniques come from exposing the learner to as many methods as possible.
