Three paragraph summary on Are Students Learning Styles
Discipline Specific?:
This article found on Google scholar is titled Are Students
Learning Styles Discipline Specific? It reports a study that analyzed if
college students learning styles vary with their discipline. The article
makes it known that the ultimate goal of this study is to see if students
of specific disciplines adapt similar learning styles. This study
measured the learning styles of 105 students (male and female) at a
community college. The learning styles measured were grouped into
four disciplines: English, Math, Science, and Social studies. The study
measured this with the Kolb Learning Style Inventory IIa, as well as
active experiments. The article states that the study was performed in
order to determine if gender and academic performance is correlated
with the preference of student learning.
The beginning of the article begins with describing how
community colleges have changed over the past two decades. The
article discusses that community colleges are concerned with the need
to improve because educational needs are continuously changing. The
article discussed how recent students are underprepared for the higher
education that community colleges offer. It states the importance of
learning style research. The article describes that learning style
research reveals that learning in environments that match students
learning styles helps them to be more successful in their academics.
Another result of this study is that teaching students different ways to
learn can be correlated with better learning and better graduation
rates.
The method of this study was given with a questionnaire of
twelve questions. These questions indicated learning style preference
depending on their discipline. The study also used GPAs to reveal if
students success in academics correlated with the preferred learning
style. The results of this study showed that students do prefer certain
learning styles based on their discipline; however, gender was not
correlated in any way. Other results from this study were that most
students feel like certain learning styles are required for difference
learning situations. The article discussed that this study was very
important when trying to improve community colleges.
