Omidvar, Pegah; Tan, Bee Hoon
Turkish Online Journal of Distance Education, v13 n4 p269-286 Oct 2012
The need for cross-cultural understanding of the relationship between culture and learning style is becoming increasingly important because of the changing cultural mix of classrooms and society at large. The research done regarding the two variables is mostly quantitative. This review summarizes results of the existing research on cultural variations in learning styles. Limitations of the existing studies are discussed and some suggestion for future research is proposed. (Contains 1 table and 1 figure.)
