Introduction A great deal of information exists regarding the different means by which students learn new concepts. Although visual, auditory and kinesthetic learning are the most commonly listed learning styles, little attention has been given to kinesthetic learning. This is especially true in lecture-based courses at the college level where the format favors verbal and visual learners. Here ...

This study aims to analyze university students’ learning strategies preferred in the knowledge creation process and academic achievement according to their learning styles in a cyber learning environment. The participants of this study were 196 university students who attended cyber lecture classes in C University in Korea, and the research instruments were Felder-Silverman’s learning styles in...

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...

Background: Preferred learning styles of learners are different, which depend on tastes, mentality preparedness, as well as physical condition, in terms of sensory modalities. Identifying and employing appropriate learning styles could play an important role in selecting teaching styles, which can improve education ultimately. Aim: The present study aimed to assess the diversity of learning sty...

Considering the increasing importance of adaptive approaches in CALL systems, this study implemented a machine learning based student modeling middleware with Bayesian networks. The profiling approach of the student modeling system is based on Felder and Silverman’s Learning Styles Model and Felder and Soloman’s Index of Learning Styles Questionnaire. The questionnaire was adapted to Turkish fo...

In this study, the Felder learning styles inventory was administered to students who were non-English majors in a Chinese University. Descriptive statistics identified that participants do vary in their preference for particular learning styles with a great variety of learning style preferences distributed unevenly among the sample population. A large number of the participants showed mild pref...

It has long been thought that propensities for visual or verbal learning styles influence how children acquire knowledge successfully and how adults reason in everyday life. There is no direct evidence to date, however, linking these cognitive styles to specific neural systems. In the present study, visual and verbal cognitive styles are measured by self-report survey, and cognitive abilities a...

Adaptive e-learning systems try to improve teaching processes on Internet by providing different educational content and activities for different learners. Modern tendencies of adaptation require usage of learning styles on student grouping. Main idea of adaptive e-learning applications is to use a different pedagogical approach for each of these groups. This paper presents a software module ca...

BACKGROUND Identifying and employing appropriate learning styles could play an important role in selecting teaching styles in order to improve education. OBJECTIVES This study aimed to determine the relationship between learning styles preferences and gender, educational major and status in first year students at Isfahan University of Medical Sciences. PATIENTS AND METHODS A cross-sectional...

In this paper, we discuss our approach on how to achieve adaptive teaching which leads to a more efficient learner-centered environment. Based on the Felder-Silverman learning styles model, there are four scales for the learning aptitude which are active/reflective learners, sensing/intuitive learners, visual/verbal learners, and sequential/global learners. The different conglomeration of these...
