اثر سبک های یادگیری بر روی نیازهای جهت یابی فراگیران مبتنی بر وب

This paper analyzes the results of an exploratory experiment completed by 58 subjects. It first measured their learning style preferences (using a version of the Kolb Learning Style Inventory Tool) and compared it to their actual visits of linked Web-pages. The study found that learners classified as “Explorers” tended to “jump” more and created their own path of learning (learner control), while subjects classified as “Observers” tended to follow the suggested path by clicking on the “Next” button (system control). In addition, test scores for explorers who did jump were higher than explorers who did not jump, while conversely observers who did not jump scored higher than observers who did jump.
