Is teaching exclusively to an individual’s preferred style as flawed a strategy as teaching to no style in particular?
Tracking of students in education by whatever criteria is generally a bad idea as it tends to stigmatize and stereotype learners, preventing them from developing their full learning potential. It is more effective to design curriculum so that there is some way for learners of every learning style to engage with the topic. Curriculum design should follow the learning cycle of experiencing, reflecting, thinking and acting such that every type of learner has an initial way to connect with the material and then begin to stretch his learning capability in other learning modes.
