Learning Styles, Culture and Inclusive Instruction in the Multicultural Classroom: A Business and Management Perspective
TLDR
This paper examined the learning style profile exhibited by students in a multicultural class of international business management, and how cultural conditioning is reflected in the learning styles preferences of home and international students using the Felder and Soloman's Index of Learning Styles.Abstract:
This article examines the learning style profile exhibited by students in a multicultural class of international business management, and how cultural conditioning is reflected in the learning style preferences of home and international students. Using the Felder and Soloman's Index of Learning Styles , this study finds that each learning style dimension measured by the instrument is amply represented and that the scores reported by international students on all but one learning style dimension show much wider measures of dispersion compared to those of home students suggesting that greater variations in learning preferences are likely to co-exist in culturally heterogeneous cohorts. Suggestions on how to move toward a multistyle teaching approach to business management education so as to enfranchise all students in the multicultural classroom are then put forward. Finally, a discussion of the implications of these findings with respect to the business management curriculum design is provided.read more

Understanding Student Differences
Richard M. Felder,Rebecca Brent +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, three categories of diversity that have been shown to have important implications for teaching and learning are differences in students' learning styles (characteristic ways of taking in and processing information), approaches to learning (surface, deep, and strategic), and intellectual development levels (attitudes about the nature of knowledge and how it should be acquired and evaluated).
Applications, Reliability and Validity of the Index of Learning Styles*
TL;DR: The Index of Learning Styles (ILS) as mentioned in this paper is an instrument designed to assess preferences on the four dimensions of the Felder-Silverman learning style model and has been used hundreds of thousands of times per year.

TL;DR: The authors argue that it is inappropriate to treat curricula as though they were merely commodities reducible solely to exchange value and expose the inadequacies of a piecemeal infusion approach to curriculum internationalisation.

TL;DR: The authors reviewed some of the criticisms directed towards the eclectic paradigm of international production over the past decade, and restates its main tenets, concluding that it remains a robust general framework for explaining and analysing not only the economic rationale of economic production but many organisational and impact issues in relation to MNE activity as well.
