This study aimed to investigate learning styles of gifted and nongifted students, and its relationship with school type, gender and grade. The sample of this study consists of 90 (Female=41, Male=49) gifted Students, and 90 (Female=43, Male=47) nongifted student in Tafila Governorate Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, for the second semester of the academic year 2012/2013. Learning style Questionnair...

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 present study examines the effect of Individual Learning Style on modeling functional requirements. To-date, there is no evidence that individual cognitive learning styles are related to modeling ability in novice systems analysts. The results of this study indicate that in teaching functional requirement techniques, novices with abstract learning styles perform as well as those with concre...

OBJECTIVES Information on the learning styles of medical students are lacking in medical colleges in Nepal. Learning styles may be associated with student understanding and may predict success in examination. The present study was carried out to obtain information on learning styles and preferences for teaching of fourth semester medical students and note the association, if any, between respon...

In an era of increased accountability in assessing student learning outcomes, greater emphasis has been focused on factors that influence student learning. In this paper we examine the impact of instructional methods and information technology on student learning styles, all critical factors affecting student learning. A research framework that suggests the relationship of instructional process...

Learning styles which refer to students’ preferred ways to learn can play an important role in adaptive e-learning systems. With the knowledge of different styles, the system can offer valuable advice and instructions to students and teachers to optimise students’ learning process. Moreover, e-leaning system which allows computerised and statistical algorithms opens the opportunity to overcome ...

Providing adaptivity based on learning styles can support learners and make learning easier for them. However, for providing proper adaptivity, the learning styles of learners need to be known first. While most systems, which consider learning styles, use questionnaires in order to identify learning styles, we propose an automatic student modelling approach, which analyses the actual behaviour ...
