Summary/Abstract: The aim of our article is to analyze the individual characteristics of learners and to differentiate our teaching methods in order to promote the success of as many students as possible. Taking into account the specificities of each one, it may be possible to reduce the intra-group variance in order to form moderately heterogeneous teams in order to promote the development of interactions between learners which are likely to have a positive effect on the quality of their learning. These different learning styles clearly show that each learner has distinctive characteristics for the appropriation of knowledge. This is why we must admit that learners do not achieve the same performance with the same type of teaching. Considering learning strategies adapted to each style helps the learner to process and to perceive information. The diversification and multiplication of learning activities make it possible, on the one hand, to mobilize resources according to the context, and on the other hand to consolidate and to strengthen learning. The teacher's role is therefore also to construct new pedagogical situations that are sufficiently varied to lead the student towards new developments of his knowledge and especially of himself, as a personality.
