Each learner is unique and requires a learning style that suits the expected learning
outcomes and individual learning needs. An individual learning style impacts on the degree to
participate in learning or the drive to actively engage in learning activities such as attentive
listening to videos and lecturers (Asiry, 2016, p 13). The personalized style impacts on the ability

to memorize data and retain knowledge thus assisting the individual to attain their learning goals.
The learning style directly affects the ability to relevant learning skills such as cognitive skills,
oral skills, and analytical skills.
It is important for the educator to identify the individual learning style and preferences
while working with others since the style influences the learner’s attitudes and behavior towards
learning (Gilbert & Kim, 2018, p 62). A match between the individual learning style and
educator’s instructional strategies enhances the academic and skills outcomes of the learner thus
promoting better results (Cuevas & Dawson, 2018, p 44). In addition, the match leads to desired
learner behavior and high likelihood of change thus supporting learning of new ideas and
experiences.
