Students’ Learning Styles
Every man in this world has different capabilities and skills. Similarly every student has different methods and approaches of learning. We call these approaches learning styles. There are also differences in the styles of learning depending upon gender. A student can learn in a better way if he or she is taught in the method he or she prefers. So teachers have to know about the learning styles of their students and then decide their teaching methods and lesson plans.

GENDER DIFFERENCES IN EDUCATION
Many people have come to ask themselves, are all children the same? If the answer is yes, then what makes a girl child fear her male counterpart in education? Could the society be playing a part in instilling fear among female children? If so, how exactly is the society doing so? What could be done to save the situation? At what age in the female child’s life is this corrective measure supposed to be instilled? These questions, together with some others, are going to form a basis of our argument in this article.

Instructional Design Theory
“I am always ready to learn, although I do not always like being taught. “
Winston Churchill
So it is not only the slackers who dislike being taught. What is it about learning and teaching that makes it difficult for some and easy for others? If we go back to our school days and observe the classroom setting, we come across various teaching styles and many different learning techniques. The question here is which one works best to impart knowledge. Is there a different technique for each subject? Or does it depend upon the learning audience? The ultimate question is, What are the factors that ensure an excellent learning experience?
