In the latest Asian Journal of Distance Education issue, Sezgin (2022) uses #perceptual styles from #cognitive #psychology and finds that field-independent (and female) learners succeed better in #DistanceLearning: http://www.asianjde.com

Such #individual learning styles are rejected by some researchers (Stephen Downes' response): https://www.downes.ca/post/74633

Cognitive style is difficult to define. In my #InterculturalCommunication classes, it is an aspect of #CommunicationStyle.

I think #diverse learning styles exist, yet C.G. Jung’s theory of compensation would argue that challenging students' weaker cognitive functions could help them. I show differing #cultural learning styles in “#Japanese Learning Styles in Cross-cultural #OnlineEducation”: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/322853342

My view of cultural learning styles is confirmed concisely in a Université du Quebec #SecondLanguageLearning and #Bilingualism online class module: https://www.teluq.uquebec.ca/lin4015/modules/m4/m4_2_3_t1.pdf

Thanks a lot for input, I will look into it!

maybe it's just like all change - there is an adoption curve which takes time...

Or maybe I have to deviate so much from how I like to communicate, that it just doesn't make sense for me to stay?

Time will tell, I guess...
