Students take in and process information in different ways. College faculty members ‘teaching methods are not all the same. However, rarely there are any efforts by faculty members to harmonize their teaching styles with their student’s learning styles. When there is a major mismatch between the learning styles of the majority of students and the teaching styles of the instructors both get frustrated. Although it is not possible for the instructors to match the individual learning styles of every student in the class, as long as there is a balance in teaching method in relation to the teaching styles of the majority of the students' the overall effectiveness of the teaching in the class will rise. It is theorized that students in a different disciplines may have different types of learning styles. A simple study was conducted at XXXX XXXX College for construction management students to estimate their learning styles as a group. The paper will outline the study and discuss the results of the study. The next step and recommendation follow.
