Adapting web-based learning (WBL) to cognitive and learning styles (CLS) can improve effectiveness. The wholist-analytic and active-reflective CLS show consistent aptitude-treatment interactions, suggesting tailored instruction is beneficial.

Area of Science:

  • Educational Technology
  • Cognitive Psychology

Background:

  • Cognitive and learning styles (CLS) are explored for adapting instruction.
  • Web-based learning (WBL) offers broad reach but requires effective adaptation strategies.
  • Aptitude-treatment interaction (ATI) is crucial for personalized learning effectiveness.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review existing literature on CLS in computer-assisted learning and WBL.
  • To identify predominant CLS constructs and their interaction with WBL.
  • To provide evidence-based recommendations for adapting WBL to CLS.

Main Methods:

  • Comprehensive literature search of health professions education and general education.
  • Inclusion of 12 articles on CLS in computer-assisted learning and WBL.

  • Analysis of four predominant CLS constructs for aptitude-treatment interactions in WBL.

    • Main Results:

    • Wholist-analytic CLS demonstrated consistent ATI, with wholists benefiting from structure and analytics from less structure.
    • Active-reflective CLS showed limited evidence of ATI, favoring interactive learning for active learners and reflective methods for reflective learners.
    • Concrete-abstract and verbal-imager CLS constructs showed no consistent ATI with WBL formats.

    Conclusions:

    • Teachers should consider adapting WBL to wholist-analytic and active-reflective CLS.
    • Adaptations for other CLS constructs should be approached experimentally.
    • Further research is needed to confirm the feasibility and effectiveness of CLS adaptation in WBL.
