Business Students' Learning Preferences and Associated Task Performance.

Phillips, Fred

Journal of Education for Business, v75 n1 p27-32 Sep-Oct 1999

Accounting students (n=202) had different preferences for learning discrete facts, quick and easy problems, and new and ambiguous situations. On a multiple-choice test and unstructured task completed by 73 students, preference for quick and easy problems distinguished poor and good performers on the task but not on the test. (SK)
