METHODS CONFLICT particular preferences. So instructors who like to learn in a read-write or an aural
mode may rely on lectures and give the class little opportunity for interaction or
visual and kinesthetic learning. Instructors who prefer a more interactive, hands-
on environment may involve students in more discussion and learning through
experience.
learning disability a legal term that covers a wide variety of specific learning challenges resulting
