The Validity of Kolb Learning Styles and Neo-Piagetian Developmental Levels in College Biology.

Assessed Kolb learning styles and neo-Piagetian development levels of students who then completed a lecture/lab course with either inquiry or expository instructional methods. The predicted interaction between Kolb's thinking/feeling learning dimension and instructional method was not found, while thinking/feeling dimension and developmental level both correlated positively with achievement under both instructional methods. Thinking/feeling dimension and developmental level also correlated. (EV)
