Assessing Learning-style Inventories and How Well They Predict Academic Performance.

Leiden, Lisa I.; And Others

Academic Medicine, v65 n6 p395-401 Jun 1990

Through analysis of 2 learning-style tests given to 79 medical students at the University of Nevada School of Medicine, it was concluded that learning inventory tests are not good predictors of academic performance. Better test instructions or published standardized norms would make these tests better predictors. (GLR)
