Bottroff-Hawes and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study investigated differences among students' preferential learning styles and their academic achievement. The hypothesis was tested for the total sample population and the subgroups of: gender and ethnicity (Anglo, Hispanic, Asian). Two self-reporting assessment instruments were administered to 200 eighth graders to determine learning style and modality preferences: abstract-sequential (AS); concrete-sequential (CS); abstract-random (AR); concrete-random (CR); auditory (A); visual (V); kinesthetic-tactual (KT). Using GPA categories, the sample population was selected through by stratified-random and systematic sampling. Gifted, special education and ESL students were excluded. Academic performance was measured by GPA and CTBS standardized scores. One way ANOVA with Tukey-Kramer, two-tailed test at.05 was used to determine statistical significance. Significant academic variances were found among students' preferential learning styles and modality groups within the total population and within specific subgroups. Significant variances were observed between the highest achievers (left-brain dominant, AS/A learners) and the lowest achievers (right-brain dominant, CR/KT learners). The men score achievement pattern ranged from highest to lowest: learning styles (AS, AR, CS, CR); modalities (A, V, KT). Students preferring abstract learning strategies demonstrated higher achievement levels than those who preferring concrete. Among subgroups, the highest scores were earned by: Asians, Anglos, and AS/A females, respectively. The lowest scores were demonstrated by: Anglo males and CR/KT Hispanic. Females preferred left-brain dominant/sequential learning styles (AS, CS) while the males preferred right-brain dominant/random styles CR, AR). Females preferred abstract learning styles (AS, AR) to concrete ones. Males preferred concrete styles (CR, CS) to abstract ones. Females preferred auditory modality while males preferred visual. This research confirms that there are significant variances in academic achievement among students with differing learning style and instructional modality preferences. The concern raised is whether or not some students are advantaged or disadvantaged in the learning environment by congruency or incongruency of teaching/learning styles. Additional research is needed in order to determine to what degree matching teaching/learning styles may improve academic achievement among learners now identified at risk.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: University teaching and learning take place within ever more specialized disciplinary settings, each characterized by its unique traditions, concepts, practices and procedures. It is now widely recognized that support for teaching and learning needs to take this discipline-specificity into account. However, in a world characterized by rapid change, complexity and uncertainty, problems do not present themselves as distinct subjects but increasingly within trans-disciplinary contexts calling for graduate outcomes that go beyond specialized knowledge and skills. This ground-breaking book highlights the important interplay between context-specific and context-transcendent aspects of teaching, learning and assessment. It explores critical questions, such as: What are the ‘ways of thinking and practicing’ characteristic of particular disciplines? How can students be supported in becoming participants of particular disciplinary discourse communities? Can the diversity in teaching, learning and assessment practices that we observe across departments be attributed exclusively to disciplinary structure? To what extent do the disciplines prepare students for the complexities and uncertainties that characterize their later professional, civic and personal lives? Written for university teachers, educational developers as well as new and experienced researchers of Higher Education, this highly-anticipated first edition offers innovative perspectives from leading Canadian, US and UK scholars on how academic learning within particular disciplines can help students acquire the skills, abilities and dispositions they need to succeed academically and also post graduation. Carolin Kreber is Professor of Teaching and Learning in Higher Education and the Director of the Centre for Teaching, Learning and Assessment at the University of Edinburgh
