Abstract | This study aims at identifying learning styles of two groups of online students enrolled inLegal Studies and Corporate Training courses and comparing learning styles and academicachievements in those courses. The learning styles questionnaire was adapted from a learningstyles questionnaire in College Study Strategies (Laskey & Gibson, pp. 52-53, 1997) and is acontinuation of previous research by the authors. In the fall 2017, the authors administered theadapted questionnaire to undergraduate corporate training and legal studies online students in aSouthern Hispanic serving institution. The questionnaire allowed students to identify whethertheir preferred method of learning was field dependent or field independent. Results of thelearning styles questionnaires were compared with academic achievement. A discussion of fielddependent and independent learning styles for Hispanic online learners will be presented. Recentresearch and the evidentiary rationale for attempting to predict academic achievement fromspecific learning styles will be explored. (As Provided). |
