Comparative Study of Learning Style, Resiliency and Problem Solving Skills in Iranian Chess Players

Abstract

The main objective of this study was to compare learning styles, resiliency and problem solving skills in Iranian chess players. The approach of this study was a description of cohesion kind. The statistical population included all active chess players with an international rating under chess federation supervision of Islamic Republic of Iran. The sample was based on Morgan . The findings showed that there wasn't a significant relationship between learning styles with the amount of resiliency and chess players' problem solving skills. Also there was a positive and powerful relation between the amount of resiliency and chess players solving problem skills. It seems that chess players learning style doesn't have any effect on the ability of problem-solving skill. In other word, having learning style and different thinking isn't an advantage although the present research protects the existence of positive meaningful relation between the amount of resiliency and chess players' problem solving skills.

Development and Validation of Learning Style Scale for E-Learners

“…Negative relationship with SPS (Barkman & Machtmes, 2000) supported the divergent validity of the scale (r = −.18, p = .01). Similarly, a couple of research supported our claim that there was negative a relationship of learning styles with chess players' problem-solving skills (Sadeghi & Mousavian, 2017), and learning styles, creativity, and problem-solving styles explained disparity among different domains of talent (Woodel-Johnson, 2010). In another study by Şİrİn and GÜzel (2006), problem-solving skills had a negative relationship with abstract conceptualization learning style.…”
