. Evaluation of the enhancement in student learning, brought about by useof these tools, has been accomplished by a variety of assessment techniques. Next, theassessment results are correlated with the student’s Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) as wellas the type of “learner” they are, as measured by the VARK learning style inventory. Resultsindicate that the hands-on and visual content overall enhances the learning experience.Specifically, it is rated highly by the MBTI “N” type students, but not as highly by the MBTI“S” types. However, both S-types and N-types benefited from it in their ability to solveproblems. VARK K-types gave the hands-on and visual content the highest rating of any student“type” we studied.1.

Sensing describes a preference for perceiving, or gatheringinformation, with the five senses, placing trust in factual realities, and intuition describes apreference for perceiving through the mind, placing trust in ideas and possibilities. Thus,sensing types are said to be sensible and realistic, and they place trust in their experiences anda wisdom of the past, and intuitive types are said to be imaginative, speculative, and ingenious,and they trust hunches, possibilities, and inspiration.
