Learning styles refer to different approaches or ways of learning. There are three main learning styles: visual, auditory, and kinesthetic/tactile. Visual learners learn best through seeing and prefer visual displays and note-taking. Auditory learners learn through listening to lectures, discussions, and reading text aloud. Kinesthetic/tactile learners learn best through hands-on activities and exploration.
