Description

For the design of individual instructional treatment, the roles played by learning styles on teaching/ learning process were discussed. The research method was not based on the model of a traditional experimental design, but by action research approaches for analyzing performance occurring in real world-learning process.<BR>Subjects were undergraduate students majoring in engineering; the learning style inventory developed by Okamoto, T.(1979) was used in order to investigate their learning styles.<BR>The main purposes of the present study were to specify the following three points.<BR>1) To survey and arrange theoretical and practical studies on learning styles.<BR>2) To analyze CAI-learning behaviors through three parameters (m, τ, to) of Weibull distribution and to estimate learning styles.<BR>3) To examine and discuss the relation between learning styles and learning strategies in problem solving situations.<BR>The main results of this research were as follows.<BR>1) On the estimation of three parameters (m, τ, to) of Weibull distribution, the values of m and τ were the largest in the group of holist, observing reflectiveness, and then trial-and-error practice. The descending order of the to value was also in observing reflectiveness, holist, and trialand-error practice.<BR>2) In the behaviors of solving the state-space problem in regard to network-graph, the qualitative validity of this conceptual definition of learning styles was verified.
