- The learning style of a student can have a significant impact on the ability to understand and perform certain educational tasks. An educator may not be in a position to convey the information effectively to students who do not have a clear understanding of their style. If a student has a strong visual learning style, they may struggle to understand concepts that are only explained verbally. It is therefore important that educators identify the individual preferences and learning styles of learners when they work with them to make sure they can effectively communicate information to everyone.
- Understanding the learning styles of individuals participating in health promotion is important to achieving the desired outcome because it allows educators to tailor their approach to the individual’s preferred learning style. If an individual is more visual in their learning, then they will benefit from using visual aids like diagrams and videos to learn about health promotion topics. In the end, learning styles can affect behavioral change. This is because new behaviors are likely to be adopted if presented according to the preferred style of each individual. In health promotion, different styles of learning can be accommodated by using teaching strategies which appeal to them. To appeal to various learning styles, educators may use visual aids or group discussions.
