摘要: Kolb's Learning Style Inventory (LSI) (1984) is frequently used within many areas of study and research as a method assigning students to given learning style. However, this paper argues that there are substantial problems with the theoretical foundations his work. Anomalies noted claimed relationship Jung's styles (1977) use 'possibility processing' (Tyler, 1978). It argued these anomalies make it impossible for firm conclusions about nature style be made. Implications presented.
