Learning Styles Inventory (LSI)
|
The Learning Styles Inventory (LSI) makes it easier to determine which
learning
environments--and which instructors--are best for particular
students. In both
academic settings and industrial training programs,
the LSI can improve student
or trainee performance and reduce dropout
rates.
Designed for junior high, high school, and college students as well as
adults,
the
LSI is a self-report inventory that measures learning
preferences. It is composed of
30 items that give you four kinds of
information:
1. Preferred Conditions for Learning
Does the student like teamwork, independent study, competition,
classroom discipline, organized coursework, a close relationship with
the instructor, or detailed information on assignments and requirements?
2. Areas of Interest
Does the student like to work with numbers, language, things, or people?
3. Mode of Learning
Does the student prefer to obtain new information through listening,
reading, interpreting illustrations or graphs, or through hands-on
experience?
4. Expectation for Course Grade
How well does the student expect to perform in the class?
LSI scores are used to classify the student into one of nine learner
types. This Learner
Typology allows you to identify groups of students
who have similar learning styles.
The LSI can be completed in just 15-20 minutes. Students can easily
score their own
tests and classify themselves on the Learner Typology
grid. This saves you time and
also gives students immediate feedback.
Standardized on more than 2,500 individuals, the LSI is available in
four forms. Form A
uses college norms; Form B, high school norms; and
Form C, junior high school norms.
These three forms all have a 7th-grade
reading level. Form E is an easy-to-read edition,
with college norms and
a 4th-grade reading level.
In counseling centers, classrooms, and industrial training programs, the
LSI is used to
adapt instructional strategies to learner needs, to
design alternative curricula, to help
individuals select courses or work
environments compatible with their learning styles,
and to help reduce
dropout rates.
