Okay, if not learning styles, then what?
Come for a talk about alternatives to learning styles by me, stay for a great talk on motivation regulation by Carlton Fong!
If you checked out my post that learning styles don’t exist and wondered, “Okay, but why? And how should I differentiate instruction if not by learning style?” well, here’s the video for you:
Importantly - after I talk, Dr. Carlton Fong does a GREAT talk on how people can and should regulate their motivation. That’s an exciting area of research and really important nowadays, when many things in the world can affect our baseline motivation. Knowing how to recognize the kinds of motivation you are experiencing, and then being able to adjust them, are key skills that Carlton explains well. Hope you find both talks useful!
