Learning Style | Context |
Canfield´s Learning Styles Inventory |
The Canfield Learning Styles Inventory (CLSI) is a 30-item assessment using a 4 point rank order procedure for each item. Students rank these choices in order that best describes their preferences or reactions. A ranking process is used to obtain the raw scores. Thus, the lower the score, the stronger the preferences [31] . | Generic Education |
Dunn and Dunn Learning Style Inventory |
Learning strategies are included in the methods thorugh which teachers teach and/or learners learn. Methods and strategies which match the different types of learners are, for example, contract activities packages (CAP), program learning sequences (PLS) and multisensory instructional packages (MIP) [32] . | Generic Education |
Kolb´s Experiential Learning Model |
Kolb classified students into four types: having a preference for concrete experience or abstract conceptualization (how they take information in), and active experimentation or effective observation (how they process information) [33] . Preferences on this scale are assessed with the Learning style inventory [34] or the Learning type measurement [35] . | Generic Education |
Honey and Mumford´s learning style model |
Based on Kolb´s theory, this model identifies four types of students: reflector, theorist, pragmatist and activist [36] . It was developed in an attempt to apply learning style theory to business and management studies measurement [37] | Business and Management studies |
Felder-Silverman Learning Style Model (SPAL method) |
It was designed to capture the most important learning style differences among engineering students, and provide a good basis for engineering instructors to formulate a teaching approach that addresses the learning needs of every student [38] . The model classifies students according to the following four dimensions: sensitive or intuitive, visual or verbal, active or reflective, and sequential or global [38] . | Engineering students |
Keefe´s Learning Style Profile |
The Learning Style Profile (LSP) was designed to give teachers an easy way to determine the learning styles of middle and senior high school students. LSP diagnoses students´ cognitive styles, perceptual response tendencies, and study instructional preferences by means of 23 variables [39] | Middle and senior high school students |
