Introduction

Abstract

This is the inaugural monograph in a series that critically examines current issues in the field of psychology in education. More specifically, this monograph series serves as a sort of watchdog designed to catch and report fake news and quackery. This monograph concerns the question of whether learning styles is/are a thing. Learning styles has been around for decades. As you will learn, learning styles receives overwhelming support from K-12 teachers and parents. But the scientific evidence to support learning styles is severely lacking. In the following chapters, we dive into this issue to determine whether learning styles should continue to be considered a thing or kicked to the curb.
