ABSTRACT
Fleming argued that learners tend to learn better if they are using their preferred learning styles. Sternberg in 1999 observed that people with different styles like to use their ability and their thinking styles in different ways and responded differentially to the kinds of thinking required in different settings. He argued, however, that: Students will learn better when using their preferences in which they are successful. Teachers that can construct activities that include specific and multiple learning preferences are generally more successful. This can be done by adding alternatives or completing learning cycles that incorporate all styles within the teaching and learning context. Ways of teaching might include: using PowerPoint, discussion, giving a speech, illustrating, demonstrating. The students are asked to discuss their responses to this thought-storm activity and compare their ways of learning and ways of teaching.
