Teacher here. Now we get taught that the main mechanism for learning is attention, usually triggered by a combo of motivation and diversity (as opposed to monotonicity). So you should hit a variety of teaching styles not because different students react better to some of them but because it triggers their attention and motivation mechanisms. We also get taught that switching too much tires the students out, so we should pick some 3 types of activities and rotate between them, tending to reduce the traditional lecture style.
Oh man, I could go on an in infinite rant about all this… but well, this is the recent theory.
