The Relationship between Entrepreneurship Education and Entrepreneurial Intentions: A Meta–Analytic Review (2014, background): “In a high power distance society, teachers are ranked higher than students, and lessons are less likely to be arguable because students tend to avoid being critical of teachers (Hofstede, 1986, 2001; Joy & Kolb, 2009).”
The role of cultural dimensions of international and Dutch students on academic and social integration and academic performance in the Netherlands (2013, background): “…t-test comparisons and correlation analyses, and/or aggregate international students in a single category (De Vita, 2001), rather than acknowledging that the culture of students is strongly influenced by prior education and learning style (Hofstede, 1986; Joy & Kolb, 2009; Tempelaar et al., 2012).”
The role of parent, classmate, and teacher support in student engagement: Evidence from Ghana (2017, background): “…in developing countries in Africa, Asia, Central and South America, and the Middle East where cultures often foster a power distance between students and teachers, the teachers’ default is more likely to be formal social support (Joy and Kolb, 2009; Whitehead, 2007; Woodward and Denton, 2013).”
Understanding social learning relations of international students in a large classroom using social network analysis (2013, background): “2011; Zepke and Leach 2005), learning styles (De Vita 2001; Joy and Kolb 2009; Tempelaar et al. 2012), personal-emotional adjustment, stress and anxiety (Rienties and Tempelaar 2013; Russell et al.”
Cultural Determinants of Learning Style Preferences (2010, background): “Although Joy and Kolb (2009) suggest a preference for reflective observation in collectivist cultures, this hypothesis is not supported by their data.”
The roles of learning orientation and passion for work in the formation of entrepreneurial intention (2013, background): “Thus, learning is the process by which people transform new experiences into combinations of new and existing knowledge (Joy and Kolb, 2009).”
The Learning Way: Meta-cognitive Aspects of Experiential Learning.* (2008, background): “A recent study (Joy & Kolb 2007 ) has shown relationships between learning style and culture of birth and residence.”
Essentially Biased: Why People Are Fatalistic About Genes (2017, background): “Many people endorse the idea of learning styles, or the belief that different people rely on distinct styles for most efficiently learning new material (e.g., visual learners vs. auditory learners; Dunn, Griggs, Olson, Beasley, & Gorman, 1995; Joy & Kolb, 2009).”
Experiential Learning Theory: A Dynamic, Holistic Approach to Management Learning, Education and Development (2009, background): “Previous research has shown that educational specialization is a primary determinant of learning style (Kolb 1884, Kolb & Kolb 2005b, Joy & Kolb 2007).”
