Thisstudy sought to evaluate the learners' achievements with the visual learning style when exposed to the sentence making and word list approaches. On that account, 45 basic level participants who studied at the Iran Language Institute (ILI), Bushehr, took part in this research study. At the outset, the learners were given Barsch learning style inventory (1991) to determine the learners' learn...

BACKGROUND It is unclear which learners would most benefit from the more individualised, student-structured, interactive approaches characteristic of problem-based and computer-assisted learning. The validity of learning style measures is uncertain, and there is no unifying learning style construct identified to predict such learners. OBJECTIVE This study was conducted to validate learning st...

This paper investigates learning processes across a built environment design curriculum through the recognition of the four learning styles defined in the experiential learning theory of Kolb, i.e., ‘accommodating’, ‘diverging’, ‘assimilating’ and ‘converging.’ The paper focuses on the results of a cross-curriculum learning style survey. The results of the survey appear to explain why many prio...

In language learning, strong relationships between Gold-style models and query models have recently been observed: in some quite general setting Gold-style learners can be replaced by query learners and vice versa, without loss of learning capabilities. These ‘equalities’ hold in the context of learning indexable classes of recursive languages. Former studies on Gold-style learning of such inde...

According to many recent studies the effect of learning style on academic performance has been found to be significant and mismatch between teaching and learning styles causes learning failure and frustration. Thus balancing the teaching style and the students’ learning style is very important. When emphasizing the individual learning processes, web-based learning offers a good opportunity for ...

A challenge of student modeling in adaptive virtual learning environments is to get enough information about the learner. Information about the learner such as the domain competence, the learning style or the cognitive traits of a learner is very important for an adaptive environment to achieve its main aim, namely to adapt to the learners’ needs. In this paper we investigate the interaction be...

In this paper we build on research reported in the areas of Adaptive Educational Hypermedia and learning styles in order to deal with critical issues influencing the design of adaptation based on the learning style information. In more detail we concentrate on: (i) the different learning style categorizations that have been or could be used for modelling learners’ learning style in the context ...

In attention to the role of relationship between child and parents in child development, the purpose of the present study was to determine the relationship of anxiety in students with learning disabilities based on parenting style. This study was causal-comparative design. Study population included all parents of children with learning disabilities attending special centers during academic year...
