I would imagine learning style sceptics would disapprove of this article. Cognitive Style (CS) "is defined as a mental way that individuals employ to organize and arrange information. It refers to how individuals generally approach the problems they come across and how they handle the processing of information about that problem," writes Sezan Sezgin, adding that CS persists in the individual over time. The suggestion is that "Cognitive style may influence learning in relation to different variables in online learning," and specifically, online self-regulation (OSR), which is "one of the predictors of learning achievement which depends on the autonomy of online learners." The study finds that people with one specific CS, field-independence, "have higher levels of persistence, and it has a very large effect size." Lots to talk about here.
