Jessica's Question

Jessica's Question: Can a person be taught to be a different kind of learner? If so, who does the teaching?

I believe that people can adobt new learning styles as a form of adaptation. For example, when in a college classroom, professors typically provide their course material through in-class lectures and at-home readings. If a student is a musical learner, then he/she may struggle in this type of class. In order to keep up with their peers and to remain active in a college classroom, this student must be able to adapt to these conditions. Although this student can adopt new learning styles to meet conditions in the classroom, he/she may still work best using musical strategies. To me, the process seems to resemble Darwinism and survival of the fittest - in today's classrooms where visual and auditory learning strategies are prevalent, students with different learning styles must be able to adapt. This situation is unfortunate.
My question is this: Do you think that favoring specific learning styles in the classroom is fair? If not, how do you think a teacher could incorporate multiple learning styles in his/her classroom?
