The Kolb Learning Styles Inventory: Predicting Academic Potential among Optometry Students.

Sparks, Bernard I., III

Journal of Optometric Education, v15 n2 p52-55 Win 1990

A study evaluated the use of the Kolb Learning Styles Inventory as a predictor of academic potential, for use in recruitment of optometry students. Although distinctive learning preferences were observed in low- and high-achieving students, correlations were not strong enough for predictive use. (Author/MSE)
