Theory of learning styles is steadily evolving in several decades and reveals importance of such styles for construction and adoption of adaptive e-learning platforms. Courseware delivery adaptive to learning styles needs precise definition of types of learning objects most appropriate for individual given learning character with its specific learning style. The present article provides results...

In this paper, we describe an automatic learning styles detection approach of learners in e-learning platform from observable indicators relating to their browsing and interactions. Based on the work in the fields of learning styles, user modelling, and track analysis, we propose a classification of learning style that encompasses different styles models proposed in the literature, and whose va...

In learning management systems (LMSs), teachers have more difficulties to notice and know how individual students behave and learn in a course, compared to face-to-face education. Enabling teachers to know their students’ learning styles and making students aware of their own learning styles increases teachers’ and students’ understanding about the students’ learning process, allows teachers to...

the effect of test on teachers, students, and their classroom behaviors has ever been amenable to scholarly studies. to explore such an effect, 20 professors offering ma tefl preparation courses and 30 candidates received plsp and apals inventories. paired-sample t-tests revealed significant differences. however, the respective componential multivariate anova revealed non-significant and signif...

Each learner has his own learning style that helps him study easier. Many researchers have been concentrating in determining learners’ learning styles to aim at efficiency in implementing adaptation in learning management systems. Automatic and dynamic detection of learning style has its attractive advantages in precision and time saving. In this paper, we propose a new method that automaticall...

The Effects of Cooperative, Competitive, and Individual Learning on Students' Physical Readiness A. Shams, Ph.D.  B. Abdoli, Ph.D. P. ShamsipoorDehkordi, Ph.D. To compare the effectiveness of three learning styles in physical education, a sample of 120 male sixth graders was randomly selected using cluster sampling method and then randomly assigned to three experimenta...

Adaptivity in e-learning systems can be provided by efficient modeling of the learners. Learners are modeled based on their individual needs, differences and preferences. In this context, learning styles models are generally used for adaptivity purposes, as they model how the users learn in an effective way. Felder and Silverman learning styles model is the most widely used learning styles mode...

the belief that output practice is crucial in l2 learning affects foreign language teaching methodology. and researchers have endeavored to find the best ways to encourage learners to produce and practice whatever they hear as an input in the process of learning. moreover, learning styles and the importance of matching learners’ styles with those of teachers inspired the researchers to investig...

Background: Despite the implementation of new training programs, neglecting individual differences in terms of learning styles can be taken into account as one of the reasons for poor levels of self-care behaviors in patients suffering from diabetes. Aim: The purpose of the present study was to examine the effect of training according to the learning styles on self-care behaviors among individu...
