Current research has come up with new methods that can help educators impart knowledge effectively. According to a study documented in Science Daily (2014), the use of different cognitive styles will enable teacher to come with strategies that can help various categories of students get the most of the learning experince. The styles were developed after the realization that students demonstrate different leanring abilities. Some students are fast learners while others take time to absorb the content. The responsibility of the teacher however is to ensure that all students benefits from the learning materials.
The learning styles have been given the name taxonomy to bring into perspective the biological concept of creating a learning environment that favors all students despite their learning abilities. The teacher places additional focus on learners who take time to grasp the learning materials. Furthermore, the teacher ensures that student with learning disabilities are catered. The study benefits from concepts drawn from neuroscience and psychology. These concepts are aimed at equipping the teacher with the necessary skills so that they can identify the different learning abilities of their students. Furthermore, the study aims at proposing to teachers’ new ways of creating a favorable classroom environment for all learners.
The new system was developed after the realization that there were certain factors that limited teachers from imparting knowledge to all students optimally. Some of these factors were difference in learning abilities. Therefore, the new approach seeks to empower the teacher by giving them the necessary skills so that they have more control of the classroom. The proposed method will ensure that educators put more emphasis on the classroom environment. The teacher will be required to keep a record of the learning abilities of students and come up with strategies to use the knowledge to improve the quality of education.
