Learning style preferences are the method in which, and the circumstances under which, learners most competently and successfully recognize, process, store, and recall what they are trying to learn. Knowing the students' learning style preferences can aide in the development of the most effective teaching approaches.
The gender-related differences in math achievement have been attributed to a number of variables, most notably, differential course taking patterns and exposure to math, different learning styles, teacher behavior and learning environment, parental attitudes and expectations, and socioeconomic status as well as other background characteristics of students. One problem that is not addressed in this research is the inability to isolate the effects of gender socialization from observed biological sex when observational data is used. One method by which the effects of environment and socialization may be controlled for involves the use of a propensity score, as developed by Rosenbaum and Rubin, for gender. The gender propensity score contains the combined effects of the environmental and socialization variables associated with gender and math achievement and were used as an independent variable in a regression model of math achievement on biological sex. One important goal would be to examine gender differences in math achievement over time while controlling for factors that contribute to the gender differences and are associated with gender, such as math course-taking patterns.
There is a significant difference in learning style preferences involving males and females. As such, it is the accountability of the instructor and the student to be conscious of student learning style preferences to advance learning. Instructors need to assess and understand how to reach all students by understanding how to present information in numerous modes....
This can help students more effectively; both in and out of the classroom, if they are aware of their learning style and can help them in figuring out their preferences.

Community Colleges in America In 1983 and 1984, a dozen major reports on the United States' schools were published. All stressed the need for "excellence" in education. These reports are the subject of: Excellence in Education: Perspectives on Policy and Practice. The reports pertaining to higher education were published by The BusinessHigher Education Forum, and saw higher education as "unable to train skilled managers and technicians that they believed industry needed."
Learning is one of the vital and fundamental elements in the life of a person that leads to growth and development, as it continues from birth till death. This learning process is noticeably witnessed by the individuals through the behavioral change pattern that occurs with the passage of time. In addition, the process commence from the time a person starts his education, matures and develops with their professional life (Kamble,
Another way of combining these two approaches is by having the students involved in the process of what is learned and how. Each learner brings something different to the classroom, so will want to take away something different as well. The teacher and student can work together to set goals of what is to be achieved. Similarly, the students need continual feedback, so they know how they are accomplishing these
archetypal scene of the educational process is for most of us a child and a teaching sitting next to each other, their heads bowed together intently over a book. It is an island, in this high-tech world in which we live, of the low-tech: A world that depends upon communication and human interactions rather than machines and gadgets. Education seems to be one of those realms in which it
Learning & Memory The Accuracy of Memory The research I completed for this assignment was fairly straightforward. Upstairs in my living room on a day in which I had yet to leave the house, I tried to imagine my front door. I did so without having looked at it for at least 14 hours -- since I had arrived at home the evening before. Once I was able to visualize the door,
Technology and art have been married in a number of ways, showing how the two may complement one another: Mathematics provides a framework for artistic expression while art can awaken mathematical intuition, revealing aspects of mathematics that are otherwise hidden within abstract formulations (Cipra 748). The marriage of technology and art has engendered considerable interest in academic circles, and among the recent developments have been a meeting of more than one hundred
