Is there a role for learning styles in personalised education and training? (2005, background): “…through the various stages of experience, observation, conceptualization and experimentation, strengthening each area in turn, in what may be termed a progressive, ‘virtuous’ cycle, until the learner begins to be able to combine styles, eventually having all four to draw upon (Kolb et al. 2001).”
Review Of Gender Differences In Learning Styles: Suggestions For STEM Education (2011, background): “Educational research on learning styles is typically focused on matching student learning styles with curriculum and teaching styles (Mainemelis et al., 2001).”
Experiential learning and the acquisition of managerial tacit knowledge (2008, background): “There is very little understanding of these second- and thirdorder styles according to Kolb et al. (2000), who say that more research about balanced learning profiles is urgently needed.”
A Systematic Review of the Use of Agile Methodologies in Education to Foster Sustainability Competencies (2019, methodology): “The agile L&T model is based, as well, in Experiential Learning theories based on the four stage cyclic learning model by Kolb, Boyatzis and Mainemelis [74] because of its iterative and incremental nature.”
The Effects of Brain-Based Learning on the Academic Achievement of Students with Different Learning Styles. (2010, background): “Much of the research on ELT has focused on the concept of learning style, using the Learning Style Inventory (LSI) to assess individual learning styles (Kolb et al., 2001; Kolb & Kolb, 2005).”
Students' questions: a potential resource for teaching and learning science (2008, background): “They compared the quality and quantity of questions asked by these students who were identified as either a diverger, converger, assimilator, or accommodator, based on Kolb's experiential learning theory (Kolb, 1984 ; Kolb, Boyatzis, & Mainemelis, 2001 ) and his characterisation of learning styles”
Games, Motivation, and Learning: A Research and Practice Model (2002, result): “In this sense, this model is consistent with the experiential learning approaches of Dewey (1938) and Kolb, Boyatzis, and Mainemelis (2000) and with modern constructivists such as Duffy and Jonassen (1992).”
Individual Learning Style and the Learning Style Inventory (2001, methodology): “With reference to a recent chapter by Kolb et al. (1999), these assimilators emphasize the logical soundness, rather than the practical value, of a theory.”
