The Importance of Knowing Children’s Educational Learning Styles

Friday, December 9, 2011
It is particularly important for parents to know their children’s individual educational learning styles because this can be used to improve their study habits, which leads to an increase in grades and overall performance in school. If a child is struggling in school, even just on some of his or her classes, this does not really mean that the child lacks mental ability or is not good enough. Each person has different habits, opinions and motivations. This also means that not everyone learns at the same style or pace.

Therefore, educational learning techniques that is successfully used by one student may not work at all with another student. Again, this does not indicate that the former student is smarter than the latter student. It could only mean that the learning style that will work for the latter student is not compatible with the first and if the situation were reversed, it could be that the former student will struggle in an educational learning style that is better suited for the latter student.

It is therefore important for everyone who plays a role in a child's education—instructors, parents and tutors—to be aware of the educational learning styles of each student so that they can maximise the student's understanding of the topics and materials being covered in the class. If this is not done, this could result to a student with a high potential to easily get discouraged and lose motivation in learning, just because the information that is ought to be learned is not being presented to him or her in an effective manner.
