Staff Development Festival (and Dastardly Learning Styles)

The University is organising a whole range of staff development workshops over the next couple of weeks.


Today, I was booked on to two sessions. One entitled Dastardly statistics—the less said about the session the better—a case of sounding relevant at booking.

The second session was a called ‘A Critique of Learning Theory.’ This was an interested discussion based workshop were I managed to get a discussion going on one of my hobby horses—is far too much attention given to so called learning styles? Are learning styles infract just a modern pedagogical fad? I think so!
