Thinking Styles: Teaching and Learning Styles in Graduate Education Students
Clarke, Tricia A.; Lesh, Jennifer J.; Trocchio, Jennie S.; Wolman, Clara
Educational Psychology, v30 n7 p837-848 Dec 2010
This study investigated the relationship between two intellectual styles approaches: Sternberg's thinking styles of teachers and Felder and Silverman's learning styles. Ninety-five graduate students majoring in special education, reading, educational leadership and curriculum, and elementary education completed the Thinking Styles in Teaching Inventory (TSTI) and the Index of Learning Styles Questionnaire (ILS). Several thinking styles from Sternberg's theory of self-government were highly to moderately correlated with Felder's learning styles. The TSTI did not differentiate between master's and doctoral students, but the ILS did so. Participants differed in their thinking styles in teaching and in their learning styles, based on their educational major. (Contains 3 tables.)
