Do learning styles exist?
-Yes, but they are more of preferences than styles.
Are they useful for classroom instruction?
-They're not as important as they seem to be because it is more important that the presentation matches the nature of the subject and not a certain learning style. Just because people may have ways that they prefer to learn doesn't mean that they can't learn in other ways.
What is the best philosophy for using learning styles?
-David Merrill came up with the best philosophy for learning styles by saying that the instruction should most importantly be determined by the content and then after that be adjusted to help enhance learning styles/preferences.
