Subclaims¶

q1 i? Because styles are partly socialized constructs shaped by culture, gender, age, parenting, and schooling, they are modifiable to at least some degree. → Presseisen 1990

Evidence¶

Presseisen 1990¶

Presseisen, Barbara Z.; Sternberg, Robert J.; Fischer, Kurt W.; Knight, Catharine C.; Feuerstein, Reuven. (1990). Learning and Thinking Styles: Classroom Interaction. National Education Association. https://eric.ed.gov/?id=ED327322

q1 · i? · no source text available to check; the entry prints no effect size · theoretical · r?

Theoretical argument in the development section of Sternberg's chapter, which lists culture, gender, age, parenting style, and kind of schooling as variables affecting style development. The article states styles are "almost certainly modifiable toatleast some degree."

"If styles are indeed socialized, even in part, then they are almost certainly modifiable toatleast some degree."

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

• Learning-Style Preferences — outcome: instruction changes reported style

Related Claims¶

• Schools overwhelmingly reward executive styles and confuse style with level of intellect — related
• Intellectual style is a way of directing intelligence, not a level of it — related
• Gender effects on self-regulated learning are mediated by culture, discipline, and age, with mixed direction across samples — related
• Feuerstein argues learning through direct, unmediated experience cannot yield meaningful learning or full modifiability — related
