q2 · i? · causal · r1

Descriptive statistics from Kolb's LSI 3.1 administered to 108 students in six sections showed Converging was the predominant style: 23 of 30 synchronous online students (77%) and 46 of 78 face-to-face students (59%). The article reports these as descriptive percentages with no effect size.

"Findings revealed that most synchronous online students, 23 out of 30 students (77%), were categorized into Converging."
