I get super intrigued by this idea of our preferences versus what actually happens in reality. I wonder whether a couple of things that they're really evidenc isn't the evidence for them working. So i think probably the most famous, and yet still to lots and lots of our colleagues most shocking, would be the idea of matching instruction to so called learning styles. And we are really all multimultimodal creatures, and that's probably the most obvious example of something that demonstrably doesn't work.
Phil Newton joins me to talk about evidence-based teaching practices on episode 363 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.
Quotes from the episode
Many different things can count as evidence, but the key is whether or not they are useful for you in your particular context.
