Abstract	This booklet, part of the "Getting to Grips with..." series, gives teachers and trainers in vocational education and training some easily digestible information about learning styles. It provides practical tips on how to identify students' learning styles, and how to respond to individuals and groups based on their preferred methods of learning. There is not a "best" theory about learning styles; however, understanding learning styles theories helps teachers to observe their students more systematically and be more methodical in experimenting with alternative teaching approaches. Following an introduction, this report is divided into the following chapters: (1) What's It All About?; (2) What are Learning Styles?; (3) Major Theoretical Ideas; (4) Characteristics of VET Learners in Australia; (5) How Can We Use Knowledge of Learning Styles?; (6) How Do We Determine Learning Styles and Preferences?; and (7) Suggestions for Practice. This booklet also includes a Summary; Further Reading; and Some of the Tests Available. (Contains 3 figures and 2 tables.)
