How does the FIRC suggest instructors handle students with different learning styles?

Instructors are encouraged to use varied instructional methods to accommodate diverse learners because each student has unique strengths, weaknesses, and preferences in how they receive and process information. Acknowledging that students may learn differently—some may be visual learners, others may be auditory, and some may benefit from hands-on experience—allows instructors to tailor their teaching strategies to meet these diverse needs.

By employing a variety of teaching techniques, such as discussions, demonstrations, simulations, and interactive activities, instructors can appeal to different learning styles, thereby enhancing comprehension and retention of material. This approach not only engages students more effectively but also helps in ensuring that all students have the opportunity to succeed, regardless of their preferred learning methods.
