Description

The Learning Styles Inventory is an instrument that is designed to measure students' preferences for particular modes of instruction within the classroom. It is not a test in the traditional sense of the term, but rather seeks to indentify ways in which individual children would like to pursue various types of learning experiences. Includes: Overview and Definition of Learning Styles; Individualisation of Instruction and the Role of Learning Styles; Benefits to be Derived from Learning Style Matching; Matching Students to Learning Environments.
