This researcher examined the differences in learning- style preferences of 704 11- and 12-year-old female and male Taiwanese adolescents and then determined whether their learning styles correlated with their mathematic- or reading-test scores by age, gender, and SES. T-test results revealed that there were significant age differences in the learning-style preferences of 11- and 12-year-old Taiwanese students for the 12 elements, sound, temperature, design, motivation, persistent, responsible/confirming, peers/alone, authority, auditory, intake, morning/evening, and mobility. Also, there were significant gender differences among the learning-style preferences of Taiwanese students. for five of 23 learning-style variables: design, kinesthetic, intake, analytic and reflective. The results of two multiple regressions revealed significant relationships between students' achievement-test scores and their learning-style emotional stimulus, between students' achievementtest scores and their learning-style physiological stimulus, between students' achievement-test scores and gender, and between students' achievement-test scores and SES.

This book highlights the development and outcomes of research on and practical experience in science education in Taiwan. As the outcomes of the scholarship on science education in Taiwan have garnered attention in science education communities around the world, this book gathers the most relevant research on Taiwan, presenting it in a cohesive overview that will move science education forward in terms of policy, research and practice.

There have been a countless new developments in the field of education. It is a fact that in recent years Education has emerged as a professional subject knowledge of which is essential for an effective instruction.The utility of the book is further enhanced by the provision of summary and references and appendices. Not only this the logistic and lucid presentation of the book will foster critical thinking and creative imagination in dealing with the students.It is hoped that this book will enable the teachers to perceive classroom situations with a deeper insight and also increase his/her professional competence. They can focus on the shortcomings of the students so that they can be tackled well in time and can groom and excel in all fields of life.

When the activities described herein are introduced to students whose learning styles they match, most will demonstrate strong abilities to learn and remember new and difficult content within the first four months of beginning_if not earlier. This book is written to prevent more children from becoming at risk and to help those who already have fallen behind their classmates and do not enjoy school.

This text synthesizes the research on the learning style characteristics of five culturally diverse groups: Native Americans, Hispanic Americans, African Americans, Asian Americans, and European Americans. Although each of these groups has distinguishing features and differs from other groups on some of the 22 elements that constitute learning style, there are broad within-group variations that preclude generalizations. Dunn and Griggs identify a multidimensional model of learning style, describe a comprehensive assessment instrument for identifying an individual's learning style, and provide a variety of educational interventions that accommodate diverse learning style preferences.
