Description
Summary:Learning and teaching styles: Empowering diverse learners in tertiary classroomsThe aim of this article is to make lecturers aware of the importance of the various elements comprising an individual learning and teaching style. Suggestions are made as to how lecturers can help their students develop a more flexible, empowered approach to diverse learning contexts and tasks and thereby preventing "style wars".
