Yes, learning styles have been debunked. The group work falls under the general rubric of "active learning". It's more structured and shorter (20 mins maybe) than the kind of project I was exposed to at school and University (which might have been 6 weeks long, for example.) I can't comment on your particular situation, as I don't know enough context, but in general there is an incredible amount of research on effective teaching methods. I've only started to get into the field in the last few years and I'm far from an expert. Nonetheless, some suggestions: there will be a lot of topic specific research you should probably look at. In addition there is general research on pedagogy. A good starting point is probably https://visible-learning.org/hattie-ranking-influences-effect-sizes-learning-achievement/ https://visible-learning.org/hattie-ranking-influences-effec... This shows: different teaching techniques can have huge effects on outcomes, and there are a lot of different effective techniques you can incorporate. There is some nuance in the techniques so it's worth reading deeper on particular topics (and reading the dissenting opinions!)
