The existence of individual learning styles is a hot topic in contemporary education theory and practice. There is an ongoing debate on whether learners benefit from teaching methods that are tailored to their perceived learning styles. The majority of educators believe that such styles do exist and a striving industry benefits from this concept. However, experts conclude that the evidence on t...

Individual differences in learners’ learning styles can have a significant effect on their acceptance of collaboration technologies to facilitate the sharing of learning information in technology-based collaborative learning. There is, however, a lack of understanding of the impact of learning styles on the acceptance of open learner models as a collaboration technology for information sharing....

the major aim of this article is to determine the role of culture in perceptual learning style (pls) preferences of iranian english learners, in order to minimize teacher-student style conflict in the classroom. to do this, 400 university students from different fields of study were selected from allameh tabatabaee university in tehran, ferdowsi university of mashhad and mashhad university of m...

Detecting the needs of the learner is a challenging task for systems addressing issues related to either adaptivity or personalization. In this paper we present a student-driven learning and assessment tool along with a tool for detecting/calculating learning styles and affective states. The learning and assessment tool enables learning, while the detection/calculation tool detects learning sty...

Learning style in SLA is one of the individual factors in SLA. This paper starts by stating the importance of studying learning styles. Then it quotes several definitions of learning style. The main part of it sums up the types and models of learning styles. Learning style is mainly divided into three categories: perceptual learning style, cognitive learning style and personality learning style...

background: understanding the learning styles of medical students can drive the institutions to adapt instructional materials to enhance students’ learning of knowledge and skills. this study explored the learning styles of undergraduate medical students, comparing gender variations in terms of their significant preferences. materials and methods: a cross-sectional observational study was perfo...

The questions of how important a learner’s ‘learning style’ is for the learning outcome needs to be investigated for learning environments: (1) for a didactically flexible design and possibly for an adaptation to the individual learner and (2) for a differential evaluation of learning systems. Many dichotomies of learning styles have been investigated empirically. For several reasons, the impli...

Personalization according to specific requirements of an individual student is one of the most important features in adaptive educational systems. Considering learning and how to improve a student’s performance, these systems must know the way in which an individual student learns best. In this context, the current work outlines a new approach to automatically and dynamically discover students ...

Providing adaptive features and personalized support by considering students' learning styles in computer-assisted learning systems has high potential in making learning easier for students in terms of reducing their efforts or increasing their performance. In this study, the navigational behaviour of students in an online course within a learning management system was investigated , looking at...
