According to your textbook, how should teachers tailor their instruction styles to maximize learning?

A) Teachers should tailor their teaching to fit the material.
B) Teachers should tailor their teaching to match each individual student's learning style.
C) Teachers should tailor their teaching to match the modal (i.e., most frequent) learning style found in their classroom.
D) Teachers should tailor their teaching primarily towards reading/writing learners.

Answer: A
Rationale: Dozens of studies have failed to show any benefit for studying according to an individual's learning style; this is true even in large-scale reviews analyzing results of dozens of studies. As a result, it would not make sense for teachers to tailor their instructional styles to fit individual students. Instead, teachers should tailor their teaching to fit the material.
