- Abstract
- Experiential learning theory, introduced by Kolb, suggests that people develop different learning styles. A study was conducted to determine whether or not individuals who exhibit certain learning styles are more successful in using a hypermedia problem solving system. The Learning Style Inventory was used to classifiy subjects into 4 groups based on their learning styles: converger, diverger, assimilator, and accomodator. The study found that learning style had an impact on problem solving quality when using the hypermedia system. The preferred learning style in a hypermedia based problem solving environment is the converger. In terms of learning orientation, abstract conceptualizers performed a higher quality of hypertext based problem solving than those who prefer concrete experience
