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.
