Abstract
The report covers three studies. Study 1 documents the construction of a Learner Typology based on the Canfield Learning Styles Inventory (LSI). Study 2 reports a parallel Instructor Typology based on the Canfield Instructional Styles Inventory (ISI) that helps validate the Learner Typology and provides a convenient means for comparing the fit between learners' preferences and the settings instructors provide. Study 3 provides additional validity evidence for both typologies based on the typology results and informed judgments of expert instructors, administrators, and counselors in college developmental studies programs.Keywords
