“…The analytic cognitive style is characterized by judgments based on rationality, whereas the intuitive cognitive style is characterized by immediate reactions based on feelings (Allinson & Hayes, 1988. In the present study, our results indicated that SRL had a slightly larger indirect effect (0.14) on ACS students compared with its indirect effect (0.06) on ICS students.…”

Previous research has indicated that accounting is a very important basic course for undergraduate business and management students. Studies have also shown that most accounting teachers and students are anxious about their ability to effectively teach and learn the course curriculum, respectively, which may result in a poor outcome for the students. Attempts have been made to improve accounting education and reduce anxiety by enhancing students' learning strategies and reducing the stress related to testing. The purpose of this research was to establish and model the effects of accounting anxiety on achievement, to examine the mediating role of self-regulation in the relationship between test anxiety (TA) and achievement, and to compare the achievement and learning processes of students with different cognitive styles. Participants were 498 students from Taiwan business colleges. Our results revealed that self-regulated learning mediated the relationship between TA and accounting achievement. Additionally, with significant differences noted between students with analytical and intuitive cognitive styles. A discussion of study limitations and of implications for accounting education follows.

“…6 Although Kolb's concept is one of most important learning style models, it has not escaped criticism, and using alternative concepts, such as those suggested, for example, by Entwistle, Hanley, and Hounsell (1979), Allinson and Hayes (1988), or Honey and Mumford (1992), may lead to additional insights into the influence of cultural values on learning style preferences.…”

We investigate the relationship between cultural values and the learning style preferences of students of business administration. By linking Kolb's (1984) model of learning style preferences to the cultural values of learners we develop hypotheses that are tested against data collected from 939 individuals studying at universities in Germany, the UK, the USA, Russia, Ireland, Spain, the Netherlands, Poland, China, and the United Arab Emirates. Our findings show that learning style preferences vary with individuals' cultural values. We also find that study level, exchange student status, and gender are related to individuals' learning style preferences. The results are of importance to researchers and practitioners interested in the learning process of individuals from different cultural backgrounds.

“…The Learning Style Questionnaire (LSQ) is one such learning style instrument which is developed by Peter Honey and Alan Mumford based on Kolb's learning style theory [26]. According to Allinson's and Hayes's [27] comment, the LSQ is a relatively more reliable instrument than Kolb's Learning Style Inventory. The LSQ has been used and tested by many researchers and commented as a valid and reliable learning style questionnaire (e.g.…”

“…The LSQ has been used and tested by many researchers and commented as a valid and reliable learning style questionnaire (e.g. [28], [27], [29]). Honey [30] has reported that a 40-items version of the LSQ is designed for young learners who are not in managerial roles.…”

Abstract-This paper presents the results of an empirical study conducted with a set of students using an online learning environment (OLE) to follow a distance education program. The aim of the study was to find whether students could perform well in examinations using only the Learning Management System (LMS), whether they could use it in an efficient way and whether there was a relationship between students' learning styles, number of LMS hits and learning achievements. The students were given access to a specially designed course section.The students' learning achievements were evaluated in two tests at different intervals. The study data were gathered using questionnaires and LMS statistics. We found that once the students got acquainted with the environment they could use the LMS more efficiently and managed to get high scores by only using the LMS. Results associated with the learning style preferences imply that we have designed the learning content and the environment to satisfy and support the learners with different learning style preferences.
