Peterson, ElizabethRayner, SGArmstrong, SJ2012-05-222009-12Learning and Individual Differences 19 (4), 518-523 19(4):518-523 Dec 20091041-6080https://hdl.handle.net/2292/18079The field of individual differences in cognitive and learning style has been constantly criticized for conceptual confusion, contested definitions, poor measurement and lack of validity. This study reports the findings from a global e-survey of 94 style researchers who were asked to comment on the state of the field and their own understanding of the phenomenon being studied, including areas of criticism. Our findings highlight considerable agreement over the value and future direction of style research. However, while there is also strong awareness of criticisms and concerns over terminology and measurement, there appears to be little resolve to address them.Items in ResearchSpace are protected by copyright, with all rights reserved, unless otherwise indicated.
