Abstract | A study documented differences in learning style between several populations and a high school population of African-American students enrolled in science classes in a Northeastern North Carolina county. The Black students were compared to high school samples (male and female), college science majors, and nonscience college majors. Students from five science classes (n=134) were administered the Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) during a 55-minute class period. Students were in either a College Prep Biology or Physical Science, Applied/Technical Biology or Physical Science or an Advanced Biology class. The comparisons were then made on the African-American sample population. There were more sensing and thinking types observed among the African-Americans. Also, these types were observed more frequently: sensing-thinking, sensing-perceiving, thinking-perceiving, and extraverted-sensing. A summary, introduction, content description, and conclusions are included. (KR) |
