The Relationship Between Agriculture Preservice Teachers' Learning Styles And Performance In a Methods Of Teaching Agriculture Course

Abstract

Researchers (Witkin, 1973; Gregorc, 1979; Garger & Guild, 1984) have suggested that learning style was an important factor in students’ academic achievement, how students learn and teachers teach, and student-teacher interaction. Dunn and Dunn (1979) asserted that “teachers teach the way they learned” (p. 241), which has been supported by other researchers (Witkin, 1973; Gregorc, 1979; Avery, 1985). Koppleman (1980) suggested that investigations conducted on the relationship between a person’s learning style and the manner in which he/she teaches were insufficient.
