The Application of Learning Styles

Abstract

Peter Honey and Alan Mumford published in December 1982 The Manual of Learning Styles which brought to a wider audience the advantages of a determination of the different preferences of people for the way they learn. The approach suggested by Honey and Mumford was not completely new, but offered an alternative approach to the other major learning style inventory, that by Kolb. A number of people had been unhappy with the construction and results of Kolb's Learning Style Inventory and it had been positively attacked from an academic viewpoint by Freedman and Stumpf.
