Multiculturalism and Learning Style: Teaching and Counseling Adolescents

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.Shirley A. Griggs is the author of 'Multiculturalism and Learning Style: Teaching and Counseling Adolescents', published 1995 under ISBN 9780275947620 and ISBN 0275947629.
