Abstract:

Learning style provides important insight into the way students process information to learn, how teachers teach, how students and teachers interact, and how students make career choices. This study sought to investigate the learning style of students in a College of Agriculture at a mid- western university. A random sample of senior students was selected for the study. The Group Embedded Figures Test (GEFT) was used to assess students' learning style by gender, academic major, and overall learning style. In the test group, males preferred a field independent learning style, whereas females preferred a more field dependent learning style. Recommendations are offered based on the results.
