The feedback I received from the classes wasconflicting in that some students liked my teaching style, while others criticized the samemethods. This was confusing at the time, but I can now explain the problem – different peoplelearn best through different approaches, and positive feedback resulted when my teaching stylematched the student’s learning style, while other students with different learning stylepreferences made the negative comments. It is important to understand how students learn andhow teaching styles need to be developed to reach all students.Each person has his/her own preferred

Beginningwith the essential activities of eating and sleeping, they gradually guide us toward that end. After a few yearsunder the direction of parents alone (or their designated representatives), the government becomes involved inthe process by requiring formal education up to age sixteen which also contributes to our eventualindependence. At some variable point in our maturation, we make the plan our own so that we determine suchthings as future career direction and preparation, make choices regarding employment, residence, spouse (ifany) and children

These analyses include basic reliability tests(Cronbach’s alpha) and distractor analyses (Gray et al., 2005). The current study differs fromearlier research in several regards. First, it analyzes performance on the most current version ofthe DCI. Second, it examines how the instrument functions overall and explains how thesefindings affect interpretation and use of inventory outcomes. In addition to reliability analyses, ameasure of standard error is presented with an explanation of how that informs interpretation oftotal scores.

% Type 4: 10%Given this seeming imbalance, one might be tempted to assert that the overallinstructional method should reflect the preferences of the largest constituency (i.e. lecturealone). This opinion can be offset, however, by examining the learning modes thatstudents will use throughout their careers, not just in an academic setting. Practicallearning most often occurs with concrete experience and active experimentation, ratherthan abstract conceptualization. It is, therefore, important that students gain experiencewith all learning modes to better prepare them for their future learning environments. Given the importance of each learning mode to the overall educational health of thestudent, Harb et. al. suggest a practice of cycling
