Learning Styles, Minority Students, and Effective Education.
Claxton, Charles S.
Journal of Developmental Education, v14 n1 p6-8,35 Fall 1990
Reviews current research to argue that minority students do not have learning styles different from students of the dominant culture. Stresses that an understanding of cultural and gender factors will help developmental instructors become more effective teachers. Suggests use of the "Connected Teaching" model of Belenky to develop such understanding. (DMM)
