A Cross culture comparison of learning styles

This study examined differences in learning styles between African-American and Caucasian students while also taking into consideration students\u27 gender. Students in grade 9th through 12th grade completed the Silver-Hanson Learning Preference Inventory (Hanson, Silver \u26 Gulkus, 1984). This inventory is a 125-item questionnaire, which assesses students\u27 preferences for different learning conditions, modes, and areas of interest. The sample included the results of the Learning Style inventory obtained from 95 African-American students and 95 Caucasian-Students. This study found that there is substantial evidence that gender has an affect on learning style. However, this study found marginal evidence that ethnicity affects learning style
