description The Learning Style Questionnaire is a new instrument designed to assess individual learning styles within an experiential learning model. The instrument contains 40 items in a semantic differential format using a 5-point response mode. Least squares factor analysis was employed to examine the construct validity of the instrument; alpha coefficients were used to determine scale reliabilities. Results of the study of 543 university undergraduates suggest that the Learning Style Questionnaire is a valid and reliable instrument.
