Kolb's Learning Styles

Abstract

This study focused on the relationship between Kolb learning styles and duration of online learning behaviors, the relationship between Kolb learning styles and learning achievements, and also examined the effects of these variables and their mediating mechanisms affecting student learning in e-learning settings. This study focuses on the relationship between Kolb learning style and the duration of online learning behavior and the relationship between Kolb learning style and learning outcomes. Forty students were selected as subjects for the online learning experiment. The results showed that the Kolb learning style had a significant impact on the total reading time and total discussion time of the topics. Although there is no significant effect between Kolb learning styles and learning outcomes, experimental data show that convergers and assimilators have higher average learning outcomes than divergers and accommodators. The findings of this study are of critical importance to educators and facilitators of online courses.
