Learning Style Theory and Computer Mediated Communication Advisor : Min-Puu Chen Presenter : Kuei-Hui Hsiao Date : April 17,2008 Hilary. A., David. M., Simon. S., & Dave. H.(2001). Learning style theory and computer mediated communication. (ERIC Document Reproduction Service No. ED466131)

Introduction(1/2) Computer mediated communication (CMC) is becoming a popular tool in tertiary education establishments for both distance and campus- based students.  especially to distance students, there are concerns about the low levels of active participation in conferences (Little & Light 1999)

Introduction(2/2) CMC is essentially a medium of written discourse.  CMC perpetuates the inequity of an education system that discriminates against students who talk ad listen better than they read and write, disadvantaging the less-verbal students.

Main Learning Style Theories Viewed Through Curry’s Onion Model Curry’s Onion Model provides a well established framework within which to view the main learning style theories (Riding & Rayner 1998). Using CMC requires students to work in a predominantly text-based, somewhat hierarchical environment, which may present them with little or no information, or alternatively proffer vast amounts of information, according to the responses of other Users.

Outer Layer — Instructional Preference The outer layer of Curry’s model examines instructional preference. Five basic stimuli affect an individual’s ability to perceive (proposed by Dunn & Dunn (1978) ) :  Environmental  Emotional  Sociological  Physiological  Psychological

Middle Layer - Information Processing Style The middle layer of Curry’s model concerns an individual’s intellectual approach to assimilating information (Curry 1983) and encompasses many of the learning style theories currently popular. In sum, while all the theories in this layer could provide an insight into approaches to CMC, all fail to examine the verbal-visual modality, which is felt to be an important aspect of learning style when looking at a medium that is predominantly text based.

Middle Layer - Information Processing Style Kolb (1984) converger, accommodator, diverger and assimilator Honey & Murnford (1992) activist, theorist, pragmatist and reflector. McCarthy (1997) innovative, analytic, common sense and dynamic Gregorc (1982) concrete sequential, concrete random, abstract sequential and abstract random. Gardener (1993) linguistic, logical- mathematical, musical, bodily kinesthetic, spatial, interpersonal and intrapersona

Inner Layer - Cognitive Personality Style The inner layer of Curry’s model examines cognitive personality style, addressing an individual’s approach to adapting and assimilating information (Curry 1983). In sum, two models offer an investigation of an individual’s preferences on the verbal-visual dimension that appears the most likely to affect CMC.

A Framework for Empirical Investigation of Learning Style and CMC target groups basic instruction ↓ CSA ↓ Group We are currently putting this framework into practice with computing undergraduates.

Summary This paper will lead to improvements in text- based computer conferencing and more active participation by a much higher percentage of conference members. This in turn should lead to important gains in the acceptability and usefulness of Computer Mediated Conferencing.
