Learning Style Models and Teaching of Computer Science

نویسنده

چکیده

This paper discusses learning style theories with a focus on the VARK model and Honey-Mumford questionnaires. The traditional views are described and a restatement in terms of abilities or skills is proposed. Then the learning style methodology is applied to teaching computer science. A hypothesis is made that most of computer science students share kinaesthetic/activist preference and teaching of computer science is dominated by the kinaesthetic culture.
