The impact of learning styles on instructional method preferences. - 104 p.

Adviser: Michael H. McGivern.

Thesis (Ph.D.)--Capella University, 2009.

Several research studies show that companies spend millions of dollars each year on training their employees. However, because learners have different learning styles, these companies often do not get a return on their training investment because the instructional methods they use do not always accommodate the needs of their employees. Taking learning style into consideration when developing training would please learners and promote their desire to learn. Potentially, this shift in methodology could promote knowledge retention and enduring on-the-job behavior change. A mismatch between learning style and instructional methodology can lead to wasted time and money for any organization. The study was based on the research question, "What types of training do learners with a particular learning style prefer?" To answer this question, the researcher employed a mixed-methods correlation approach consisting of survey and interview research to investigate the relationship between participants' learning style and their preferred training delivery method. The findings of the study can be used to make recommendations for future training programs. This study was comprised of 5 hypotheses, each testing the relationship between learning style and the respondent's instructional method preference. For each hypothesis, the chi-square test of independence resulted in the researcher's inability to reject the null hypotheses. Therefore, the researcher concluded that there was insufficient evidence to establish a relationship between highest level of education completed and preference for instructional method. However, trends in responses did indicate that with a larger sample size, a relationship may exist.
