    Learning style

    A learning style is a student's


    consistent way of responding to and
    using stimuli in the context of
    learning.
    • Keefe (1979) defines learning styles as the “composite
    of characteristic cognitive, affective, and physiological
    factors that serve as relatively stable indicators of how
    a learner perceives, interacts with, and responds to
    the learning environment.”

    • Stewart and Felicetti (1992) define learning styles as


    those “educational conditions under which a student is
    most likely to learn.”

    • Thus, learning styles are not really concerned with


    what learners learn, but rather how they prefer to
    learn.
