Product Description
Product Description
This volume reviews and integrates research on style differences in learning behaviour and describes the "cognitive styles analysis" which provides a simple and effective method of assessing style in children and adults. As both a textbook and a source of reference for professionals working in a range of contexts, it aims to help teachers and trainers reflect on and assess their effectiveness. The authors provide insights into personal and professional behaviour for cousellors and personnel professionals, and offer a framework for future research for psychologists.

Academic study of vital concepts,

This review is from: Cognitive Styles and Learning Strategies: Understanding Style Differences in Learning and Behavior (Paperback)
This is a British contribution to the field. It is discerning and scholarly. Different concepts are clearly distinguished and defined. The authors have critically assessed the literature of diverse models of cognitive styles and only accept two basic dimensions --the wholistic-analytic (tendency to organise information into wholes or parts) and the verbal-imagery (tendency to represent information verbally or in mental pictures). Cognitive style is an independent construct or psychological notion, not related to intelligence, personality and gender. It is an important component of individual differences. It is related to a range of behaviours, including learning performance, social responses and occupational stress. Style (fairly fixed with probable physiological basis) is also distinct from learning strategy (can be learned). Riding and Cheema (1991) have developed a computer-based assessment tool, Cognitive Styles Analysis (CSA). Riding also has a booklet on Personal Style Aswareness (PSA) for personal development. All the representative learning style models associated with a learning-centred tradition are also evaluated. Part II elaborates on the relationship of style with behaviour. This is an academic book valuable for understanding the concepts. It is not immediately useful for teachers.
