Traditional vs Learning-Style Instructional Methods

The first research that reported the effectiveness of the multisensory Instructional Packages (MIP) as compared with traditional instruction methods in a study was done by Farkas (2003) who examined the effects of teaching through traditional versus learning-style instructional methods on students' achievement. The researcher suggested that students, who received lessons with multisensory instructional methods, evidenced greater achievement gains than did students who received the same content via a traditional approach.
