Learning Style Instruments
David Durling
many references to learning styles, instruments, and their validity,
that it's hard to list just a few refs. However, here goes. For
schools, perhaps the Dunn papers, for adults maybe Kolb. Gregorc
seems to have a following in the USA as well. On the personality
types, the Myers Briggs stuff is worth a look (has some overlap with
Kolb).
Maybe if the original questioner could indicate their *specific* area
of interest, I might be able to focus on some more. Here goes anyhow:
