- Abstract
Learning styles is the idea that there are unique ways in which individuals approach learning and process information. Though refuted, the idea of learning styles has not declined in peer-reviewed reports of empirical studies or teacher/practitioner resources. Some reports have also used learning styles as a tool for improving the mathematics education of students with learning disabilities—an area of interest for mathematics education and special education communities alike. In this paper, we review articles published by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics to investigate the perspectives of learning styles at the intersection of mathematics education and learning disabilities. Analyses highlight the relationship between mathematics education, learning disabilities, and learning styles, and the varied meanings and perspectives of the articles' authors. Of note is both the perpetuation of unfounded concepts and the lackluster response to explicit contests of the idea of learning styles.
