Learning Styles - Science topic

I am working on my new project in which I need to determine the reliability and validity of different learning styles, such as the VARK model, Kolb's learning style, and Honey and Mumford's learning style. I researched it and found that Cronbach's coefficient can be used to find the reliability of these learning styles. I referred to some research papers that just showcased the results they achieved, but how they applied Cronbach's coefficient calculations on the questionnaire is not clearly given anywhere. I would appreciate it if someone could develop an approach to apply the same to different earning styles for factor analysis.

The following papers I referred to:

1. VALIDITY OF THE LEARNING STYLES QUESTIONNAIRE ','

CHRISTOPHER W. ALLINSON AND JOHN HAYES.

2. VALIDITY AND RELIABILITY OF LEARNING STYLE SCALE OF THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL STUDENTS by Ika Maryani

3. Reliability and validity of the Learning Styles Questionnaire by Y H Fung

Hi, all!

I am curious if there is a way in Mendeley to have the 'description' of the media referenced in the bibliography in brackets, following the title, without using italics, while still before the period ending the 'title element.' For example, in the reference examples area of the 7th edition of APA, 88. TED Talk (American Psychological Association, 2020, p. 343) shows (please excuse the missing hanging indents):

TED. (2012, March 16). Brene Brown: Listening to shame [Video]. YouTube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=psN1DORYYV0

The example I am trying to format currently under the 'web page' type in Mendeley currently lists the reference page as follows:

TEDx Talks. (2015, April 2). Learning styles & the importance of critical self-reflection | Tesia Marshik | TEDxUWLaCrosse [Video]. YouTube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=855Now8h5Rs

However, the correct listing for this example on the reference page should be with [Video] in a regular font style (rather than italicized), as shown below:

TEDx Talks. (2015, April 2). Learning styles & the importance of critical self-reflection | Tesia Marshik | TEDxUWLaCrosse [Video]. YouTube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=855Now8h5Rs

In the current listing example, I entered the description - [Video] - at the end of the title since it needs to be before the period "in the title element of the reference" (American Psychological Association, 2020, p. 342). However, in Mendeley, this puts the description improperly in italics. I have yet to find an area where we can add the media description for a web page.

I have begun looking at changing the 'type' I used to classify the work to see if this could solve the issue. However, none seemed to format it correctly after using generic, television broadcast, and film. Is there something I have yet to try that you believe may work? Does Mendeley have a little-known way to format something differently in the 'title element' (i.e., similar to how on some sites, if you enter * before and after your entry, it makes it bold)?

Do you have any other ideas or suggestions? I would love to hear them and give them a try. If unable to find a solution, I may have to manually adjust the bibliography before submissions and/or whenever the document has been refreshed.

Thank you for reading this in-depth description of my current Mendeley challenge. I look forward to hearing your suggestions, and thank you for your time!

With gratitude and best wishes always,

Hi, As I am working on different learning styles, can someone provide me the link for the Linkert questionnaire of the following learning styles:

1. Dunn and Dunn Model

2. Gregorc Learning Style

3. Riding and Raynor Cognitive Style Analysis

4. 4MAT Model

5. Jackson’s Learning Style Profiler

6. Apter’s Motivational Style Profile

7. Herrmann Brain Dominance Instrument

8. Felder Silverman Learning Style Model

I am working on new research to identify the reliability of the different sets of questionnaires corresponding to different learning styles. I collected and cleaned the data and loaded it into the SPSS software. I have data for around 600 learners from different backgrounds of learning. For questionnaire set 1, I have only 38 variables that measure the questions' uncertainty and use values 0 for uncertain, 1 for false, and 2 for true. I am not getting the results I want. The total factors should be 5 but I am getting around 14 whose eigen values are 1 or greater than 1 in the software. What am I doing wrong here? Please help.

I would like to conduct e research deciding the correlation between time perception and learning styles (visual, auditory and kinesthetic). My concern is that I can't decide which test to use for time perception. The options are: Metacognitive Questionnaire on Time (MQT) and Zimbardo Time Perspective Inventor (ZPTI). For the first one my concern is that it measures the awareness of time distortion implying that time distortion is certain, in this case while studying.

For the ZPTI my concern is that it consists of 56 statements and I doubt the subject would be patient to answer all of them without rushing, thus affecting the validity of the study.

Which one of the tests would be more suitable to use or can you suggest any other questionnaire on time perception?

Certainly! This question is about how educators can create an inclusive and equitable learning environment that supports the success of all learners, regardless of their individual differences, such as learning styles, cultural backgrounds, and abilities.

What learning styles fit college students? What is your advice for being able to succeed academically?

Thank you in advance

And also asking permission to quote your answers to my article. God bless.

By shifting from passive to active learning, the metaverse can transform the present learning paradigm into entertaining, engaging, meaningful, social, iterative, and joyous. It will change many aspects and create new ways of addressing our present learning styles' issues. The following are some questions that bring our attention to discuss further.

1) Will it help deal with diversity in higher education institutes, or will it be more complicated?

2) Will it help monitor exams more effectively in a non-face-to-face environment, or will it be cumbersome?

How to improve learning in any field?

I am looking for recommendations of scales (in English or Spanish) to measure learning styles according to Bloom's taxonomy of learning.

Thank you in advance!

Hello everyone,

I have a question about analyzing the cross-cultural communication needs of EFL learners. The aim is to create a short syllabus for students whose background knowledge of the target culture is at a basic level while their level of English is assumed to be above average. The aim of the syllabus is to increase students' awareness/knowledge/understanding of intercultural communication. Students were never exposed to cultural content in a direct way (they do not know concepts such as components of culture, culture shock, etc.).

The ultimate goal for students being enrolled in this program is to become teachers of the English language. They have rare contact with native English speakers.

The time allotted for this unit is 42 hours (21 hours = for lectures, 21 hours = for TD sessions where they practice the information gained during the lecture). The time spent for each session is 1h30.

Now, I try to set objectives as well as the content to be taught based on the teachers 'perspectives, the learners' needs, and the scholarly works. An interview is designed to address the teachers. As for the analysis of students' needs, I do not have a clear idea of ​​what sections the questionnaire should include. Sometimes I think of dividing it into (necessities, lacks, wants, and learning needs).

This is my problem. I am unable to specify what and how the elements of the questionnaire should be. (Content elements, assessment and evaluation, learning styles, present situations analysis, target situation analysis ... etc.). Is there any model that addresses cross-cultural communication in the context of English as a foreign language by means of raising students' awareness?

Thank you in advance

I wanted to study 'The compatibility between teachers' teaching styles and their learners' preferred learning styles.' However, in a classroom, it is true that every learner has his/her own preferred learning style/s unique and meaningful to him/her. So, how can ONE teacher address all these individuals different styles is a question my supervisors always ask me. Or is there any means to study the issue, perhaps, by considering the majority, if not each students' learning styles? Or what? Please I need a detailed explanation and future directions on this.

Thank you!

I'm looking to expand my sources on the topic

Over the last few month I am surprised that whether their is any relation of personality traits with their learning style? Their are so much of research available on this aspect but I am not reaching to conclusion as research points out learning style impact on academic achievement and personality traits impact on academic achievement but hardly any conclusive research on learning style relation with personality traits.

Secondly, which inventory (Questionnaire) is best to measure learning styles & personality traits?

I am confused to find out the proper theory and way to incorporate styles in traditional teaching in poor countries.

Is it a appropriate tool to assess the learner style in the online platform or e-learning? If yes, how the interpretation/inference of the data collected through the questionnaire can be done for the analysis? whether the questionnaire, has to be used exactly as proposed or modifications can be done to match the study requirement?

Challenges Experienced by Pre-Service Teachers in the Post Graduate Certificate in Education Programme at a South African University

ABSTRACT

This study is an attempt to better understand the complex nature of tertiary learning by exploring challenges experienced by a group of students who have enrolled for the Post Graduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) programme as a pathway to a teaching career. This study’s aim is to identify challenges experienced by pre-service teachers in the PGCE programme at a South African University with an attempt to propose and test a research instrument that captures such challenges and to determine how the identified challenges vary among different fields of study. A self-administered questionnaire was used to collect data from 150 pre-service teachers enrolled in the PGCE programme at South African university in 2012. The questionnaire was analysed using Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and descriptive statistics. Findings of this study showed that challenges experienced by pre-service teachers can be classified into 3 categories: namely, challenges related to terminologies and learning style used in education, challenges related to the structure of the PGCE programme and challenges associated academic background from undergraduate qualification. This study further revealed that most of the challenges were reported among commerce and science pre-service teachers. Findings of this study are important in understanding flexible educational planning for the PGCE students at the university.

Keywords: Challenges, pre-service teachers, PGCE programme, university, South Africa

I am requesting assistance with any current articles pertaining to the Blind/Visually Impaired and Labeling or Learning Styles when it pertains to employment. Thank you!

Many papers consider learning style as a myth, others consider it as an outdated research topic in education?

What do you think?

Mixed-ability can refer to classes in which there are clear differences in language level, learning style, learning speed, aptitude, students’ background knowledge, and motivation. In this context, every student who is learning a language can be different in language level among other students. Thus, students may have different capabilities to grasp the lesson during the teaching process in the class. According to Ireson & Hallam (2001), “teachers need to recognize that a class is a mixed ability because children have different strengths and weaknesses and develop at different rates.”

In Indonesia, English is a foreign language which is taught and learned only in classrooms or additional English courses outside school. In this case, students may have some problems such as less proficient English ability because people in Indonesia rarely use English as a tool of communication. Also, teachers in dealing mixed- ability classes may have an ineffective learning classroom from both students and teachers.

Dealing with this issue, Mixed-ability students have their own learning style and preferences in learning a language. In this context, I would like to have your opinion of the following question:

i want to ask about the appropriate model for the prediction of 4 type of learning styles with the help of background variables of the respondents

In my case the dependent as well as the predictor variables are also categorical. So what model of regression i should use and if someone please send me good reading material on how to interpret the values

Looking forward to creating a set of resources for everyone to easily access and learn from.

While I have been trained to teach online and in hybrid environments, many teachers and faculty are being suddenly through into a new realm with the onset of quarantine measures regarding the coronavirus.

What are your tips for best practices, insights, tips on teaching online? For instance, do you like using synchronous means of interaction via Zoom room perhaps, or asynchronous methods? How do you manage group work? Do you use PowerPoints with voice over? and how do you manage creating an inclusive online environment for those with disabilities or varied cognitive learning styles?

Is there is any data set to determine the learning style of a learner for online courses?.. kindly send the possibilities.

I am looking for another existing learning style survey. It has been difficult to get an approval from VARK. Thank you.

what statistical test to use if i am comparing different learning styles between two different groups of students

Do you think that you are "teaching" according to the ways or "methods" others taught you? or are you trying to create your own philosophy about teaching and adopt your own teaching methods?

Many teachers and parents are struggling to manage the gen Y learners due to lack of ability and awareness about the personality and learning style. I would like to know what are effective intervention strategies can be used to improve the learning or minimize the burden of them.

I appreciate your comments regarding your personal experience in trying to help students during lecture time in their learning process

i want literature review on teaching style and learning style by anthony F. grasha

Hi! I am working on the analysis of learners' traces to identify their preferences and their learning styles. I need a dataset that includes the learners' profiles, their interactions with the courses and also contains information about the courses. Please, Is there anyone who knows a collection of data that allows me to do this analysis?

I am interested in the new ways millenials learn, and how digitalization influences their learning styles.

I had seen that the view of learning style are difference for difference researchers.

Present science as a way of finding out rather than as a body of facts to be memorized. Allowing learners to discover and to organize the information, equip them with problem-solving and decision-making skills. It also results in knowledge that is more easily remembered and recalled than rote learning.

Emphasize learning by doing A number of researches show that learners learn better when they are personally involved in physical or hands- on activities.

Encourage interactions among learners Give opportunities for students to work together in groups. Students who work together learn more from each other. They also develop their social and communication skills in the process.

Adapt science experiences to the learners’ developmental levels Learners differ on how they operate mentally. Therefore, you must arrange experiences that fit what they can do.

Use a variety of approaches in teaching science Students have different learning styles. To be more effective, you must be aware of their learning styles and you must consider them in choosing which teaching methods to use.

There must be certain stylistic features in writing that differentiate native from non-native standards. Perhaps non-native writers can improve upon their writing styles in order to enrich competition in research paper publishing.

Hi all,

I am looking for advice on how to build adapted individual curricula (built from web sources) for a group of students

Let's assume that I use the Felder-Silverman model for assessing the students' learning styles, and that I know the students' weakest topics from the pre-test results.

The subject is cybersecurity.

Thanks in advance.

The participants of the study are 9-11 years old and took the Learning Style Survey (Cohen, Oxford, Chi). Though the results of the survey indicated that some had 'a bit of' kinaesthetic style , the styles that prevailed in each and every student were the so-called auditory or visual.

I have the inventory already, I'll use it for grouping students based on their learning style..

I need to know how can I define learning style for every student after collecting data???????

I need to obtain for the Perceptual Learning Style Preference Questionnaire because it is copyrighted. Can’t find the owner. The questionnaire says that it is copyrighted by Copyright 1984, by Joy Reid. Explanation of learning styles was adapted from the C.I.T.E. Learning Styles Instrument, Murdoch Teacher Center, Wichita, Kansas 67208. I cant find any leading information to this center or author.

I keep listening to teachers (and other professionals) talking about (and acting accordingly to) learning styles and multiple intelligences.

Anyone else? Do you know any clarifying and simple paper on these myths?

Thanks

Dear respected colleagues,

Kindly share your great views and references. I would be very grateful. Thanks in advance. Best regards

To develop a system which automatically diagnose learning style of the learners, before starting the system should fed with some styles or some data. Am not clear here. How the problem can be solved?

As an enrollee in the NSF Innovation Corps program, I am tasked to conduct short interviews about learning styles with consumers and patients who have, or are at risk of, type 2 diabetes. Having a bit of trouble finding individuals to volunteer. Hoping to get help from the American Diabetes Association, but meantime will welcome any advice from the community.

Learning styles are seen as one aspect by which student modeling is done. Any other suggestions to experiment with?

 instructional design is very important to teacher in the classroom

I will start a new job as an EFL instructor teaching English as a foreign language for adults (1st year college students) and would like to seek students' learning styles and preferences so that I can manage my lesson plans and activities accordingly. Any recommended questionnares that serve this issue?

Under the term "Learning Style" there are several dozens of theories, modeling/describing and measuring learners preferences. What are the principles, or guidances to select one or other? Sometimes one can find expressions like: "widely used, very extended, many applications", and others, trying to show some kind of "popularity", but in Science, verifiable, independent indicators are preferable, to subjectively based ones.

I am interested to start a project for recommending learning materials to the e-learning_students. Can I find any dataset which can be used for training an algorithm based on the learning style parameters for the same?

Has anyone used the Honey and Mumford tool to define students learning style? 

I know it is used in Medical Education in the UK but have found little use in Africa or other Health Professionals.how did you use the results in practice.

How did you use the results in practice?.

I am currently teaching a course about the methodology of teaching and learning languages. In it students also learn about learning styles such as: visual learners, auditory, kinesthetic, pragmatists etc. It is important for a teacher to understand the learning styles of the students in order to plan accordingly. I also believe that teachers should take into consideration that some of the students in the class might be extroverts and others introverts (maybe even a combination of both). That is why I was wandering how extroverts and introverts approach the learning process; especially when we talk about learning a foreign language? Are there any distinguished differences as there are with the learning styles I already mentioned?

1) Individuals differ socioeconomically

2) Individuals are sociocultural

3) Individuals can access information equally and identically.

4) Individuals are of the same age

5) Bireyler aynı özdeş eğitim ortamındalar

6) The number of students sharing the same educational environment is 36.

7) Experiments are made in the laboratory environment and interactive materials are used.

what feature of conceptual framework on project-based learning to enhance performance

Hi everyone, I am currently researching Cognitive Diversity (and, specifically, its implications for employee/team performance in the workplace) and I'm struggling to compile as many sources as I'd like. Does anyone have recommendations for papers or studies on the topic (seminal or recent), or even know of scales for measuring cognitive diversity in a group? Thank you! 

What is the importance of Bloom's Taxonomy for the assessment and the strategies of the Cognitive Learning?

I am looking for literature which informs on the challenges of identifying and analyzing performance gaps, but in connection to ID (Instructional design) in PDF format online for my MA studies. Please if you have any known links, authors, researchers, please pass them on.

I am trying to design a qualitative study (or perhaps mixed method study) on barriers, perceptions and motivation towards active or blended learning strategies in transitional residents and faculty involved in electrolyte and acid base disturbances learning modules. 

Does anyone know of a validated self-completion questionnaire (not necessarily contextual)that can capture those constructs or cpnceptual frameworks as I am not too keen on constructing and validating a new questionnaire.

If you feel qualitative methodology is the way forward- would a focus group or structured 1-to-1 interview be best.

thks 

It is recommended to consider individual differences when designing instruction for e-learning environments. These features are very diverse and may include individual characteristics, ranging from the locus of control to learning styles. Which is more effective than these features.

Humans endure a temporary reduction in performance during transitory increases in air pollution, so does this also occur with other primates, and other mammals in general?

Research indicates professional footballers suffer a temporary reduction in performance during a transitory episode of high outdoor PM10 air pollution, measured as a reduction in the number of passes made during a league match held in a stadium.

Research indicates school students are awarded slightly lower grades in national examinations after sitting a written exam indoors during a transitory episode of higher ambient levels of PM2.5.

Research also indicates undergraduates are awarded slightly lower marks in their final examinations after sitting a written exam indoors in an examination room with internal air quality having higher PM10 levels than students in other examination rooms.

I'm planning to research into the domain of non-formally trained graphic designers in the communication design field which appears to be a grey area. The term 'non-formally trained graphic designers' refers to persons practising as designers without any formal education and or training in graphic design. I'm looking forward to finding out about issues related to review of related literature, methodology and analysis of my proposed topic.

Attached is a proposal I have written to that effect for your perusal

Learning is the Key to self-transformation & growth. The learning way is an approach to living that requires deep trust in your own experience and a healthy skepticism about information. We become aware that we are Learning & How we are learning and perhaps most importantly What we are Learning. The starting point for Learning from experience is the belief that you can learn from life experiences. It can help you assess your strengths & weaknesses and understand your preferences. Experimental Learning give you the tool to take charge of your life.

what is best theory that support the learning styles of the digital era,and help to explain teaching and learning styles and needs of digital natives?

Hi, 

I have been asked to create a research proposal using mixed methods design to investigate the extent to which elements of the TPACK model are being applied at my school.

I have decided to use an already validated self-assessment questionnaire, and am hoping to use a semi-structured interview of all staff to determine how much they feel they incorporate ICT into pedagogy, curriculum, learning and assessment; what they find the barriers to doing this to be; and what professional experience opportunities they think would be beneficial. 

I am unsure if this fits in with a phenomenological, grounded theory or case study design. I am very confused about the qualitative designs, and then how they are analysed. Any help would very, very much appreciated.

Kindest Regards,

is there someone know the questionnaire about student's perception in subject learning like science subject? it will help me if someone send it to me

There are two variables x= teaching skills and y= conflicts in student groups. I have a data set where teacher messages are tagged with different teaching skills and group messages are tagged with different group problems. My hiphotesis is that the lack of teaching skills is related with the presence of group conflicts. How could I know is there is relationship between teaaching skills and group conflicts? Is there a data mining technique to find a kind of association between both variables?

I have made computer based tutoring tools that students use to learn specific concepts. The tutor is designed to provide hints and feedback at the request of the student. If the students use too less or too much hints, is it going to affect their learning? I am looking to collect some literature based evidence.

Hi. I'm looking for alternative models to Kolb's. Do you know any?

Also, how well accepted is his model among educationalits? 

Do you know any papers that challenge or criticize his model?

Could we apply his model in writing academic book? If so, how?

The researcher wants to establish potential effect of instructional methods on students' academic performance.

If not what would be the recommended statistical analysis?

I want to investigate the weekly changes in multilingual learners' motivation, therefore, a tailored, simplified motivation questionnaire is to some extent crucial. Can  anyone please recommend some related articles, which could give me some inspiration?  

We'd like to find the correlation between a "personality traits" questionnaire and a "language learning styles" questionnaire.

I am working on a research about the effect of the learning environment over diverse learners. I need help with two questions:

- Is there any validated questionnaire to measure students' learning styles?

-Is there any validated questionnaire to identify the effect of spatial factors of the learning environment over learners? This can be, distance from teacher, lighting of the room, area of the room.. etc.

I am currently working on its effectiveness on a selected class in the University College where I am working in.
