Educators have long known that students learn in different ways. The concept of learning styles provides a framework for understanding individual differences and also helps instructors begin to formulate instructional methods to enhance learning for all students. Learning Style Perspectives uses the constructs of auditory, visual, and tactile learner preferences as a way of understanding differences in perception and processing information. Lynne Celli Sarasin provides an overview of the major theorists Gregorc and Butler, Sims and Sims, McCarthy, Harb, Durrant, and Terry and synthesizes those theories into an approach to teaching which is readily applied to postsecondary classrooms.
