| Summary: | Learning styles theory is widely acknowledged
amongst educational theorists. However, there is little
research evidence on the adoption and adaptation of
learning styles in an e-Learning environment, specifically in
respect of personalised learning environments. In this
context, evidence identifies that the more thoroughly
instructors understand the differences in learning styles, the
better chance they have of meeting the diverse learning
needs of learners. In this respect, providing learners with
learning environments that suit their learning style can have
a positive impact on learning effectiveness. Many learning
styles inventories/instruments have attempted to augment
learners’ learning styles with learning methods, albeit
without taking on board the criticism levied at inventories
and similar instruments in terms of reliability and validity
(including the rubrics behind the models of learning styles).
This paper identifies the process of amalgamating three
existing models of learning styles (Kolb; Honey and
Mumford; and Felder and Solomon), into a ‘Diagnostic
Questionnaire’ learning style inventory for reflection and
discussion. |
