A Contribution To Validation Of Score Meaning For Felder Soloman's Index Of Learning Styles
Open accessAbstract
In 1988, Richard Felder and Linda Silverman developed a learning model that focuses specifically on aspects of learning styles of engineering students.Three years later, a corresponding psychometric assessment instrument, the Felder-Soloman's Index of Learning Styles, was developed.This paper offers a contribution to an ongoing validation work on the ILS instrument, based on the author's three-year study of the relationship between student learning styles and their academic achievement in hypermedia-assisted learning environment.The paper provides an analysis of psychometric properties of the ILS, based on the scores for 557 valid questionnaires collected in the study.This includes test-retest reliability, factor structure, internal reliability, total item correlation and inter-scale correlation.Construct validity is also discussed.In summary, the author supports conclusions found in the literature pointing to the ILS as a suitable psychometric tool for evaluating learning styles of engineering students.The author also concurs in recommendations for further work on validating the meaning of its scores and on improving the specific items to reduce inter-scale correlation.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
