The main purpose of this paper is to assess the role of management games in mapping students’ preferable learning styles to elements of business know-how acquisition in a specific environment. A management game is developed to cover five functional areas of a manufacturing company: marketing, research and development, human resources, production and inventory, and finance. Elements that advance the acquisition of business know-how are identified, embedded in the game, and evaluated by students with different preferences of learning style. The investigation confirms the existence of a significant role of the game in mapping student’s preferable learning styles to elements for acquisition of business know-how. The most impact of the game is on the Dynamics and Intensity elements of business know-how acquisition for most students. The vast majority of students who have participated in the game are active (79%), sensing (76%), and visual (81%) learners who believe that the game enhanced their capability of business knowhow acquisition. Students who are global learners and support the use of the game are only 45% of the sample; however, they still represent a valuable portion that may include the most inventive thinkers among the student population.

Using Data

Online educational platforms increasingly allow learners to consume content at their own pace with on-demand formats, in contrast to the synchronous content of traditional education. Thus, it is important to understand and model learner engagement within these environments. Using data from four business courses hosted on Coursera, we model learner behavior as a two-stage decision process, with the first stage determining across-day continuation versus quitting and the second stage determining within-day choices among lectures, quizzes, and breaks. By modeling the heterogeneity across learners pursuing lecture and quiz completion goals, we capture different patterns of consumption that correspond to extant theories of goal progress within an empirical field setting. We find that most individuals exhibit a learning style where lecture utility changes as an inverted-U-shaped function of current progress. Our model may also be used as an early detection system to anticipate changes in engagement and allows us to relate learning styles to final performance outcomes and enrollment in additional courses. Finally, we examine the role of quizzes in how consumption patterns vary across learners in different courses and between those who have paid or not paid for the option to earn a course certificate.

Gender Based

<p class="apa">This article defines the objective of discovering the first preferred styles of Iranian learners of French as a Foreign Language (FFL) as regards inductive or deductive learning; and secondly, the difference between gender-based learning tendencies. Considering these points as target variables, the questionnaire developed by Felder and Silverman in 1988 was applied to form the learning styles and consequently to associate them with inductive and deductive approaches. The results led the team to set the idea which is based on the choice of induction or deduction in language learning and the gender variable that follows different directions. Consequently, in terms of the inductive approach, we find ourselves facing a rather male solicitation. A proportion of the use of this approach is also associated with women whose motivation is seen rather noticeably. Moreover, the significance is relative rather than significant in all the relationships studied in this research: males and inductive (1)/deductive learning (2); females and inductive (3)/deductive learning (4); inductive (5)/deductive (6) among Iranians.</p>

In Knowledge Continuity Management (KCM), knowledge from highly experienced employees leaving the organization is particularly challenging to document, classify and organize so that it can be accessed, understood and used by the successor to that employee. Horizontal knowledge sharing (in the context of peer-to-peer networks) and vertical knowledge transfer (in the context of KCM) are distinguished in order to address some of the conceptual confusion in this field. Both Human Resources (HR) and Knowledge Management (KM) units contribute to KCM but they need to do so in a more integrated fashion. The complementary roles played by the KM and HR teams are analyzed in a case study to show how they can work in tandem to ensure knowledge continuity in an organization. Key recommendations are made on how to implement a comprehensive KCM strategy for tacit knowledge, including the role that can be played by information and communication technologies.

Learning style research has informed effective classroom teaching strategies for decades. Technology has allowed faculty and students to move the learning environment from the four-walled classroom to a fluid global virtual space. Knowledge gained through the application of learning style research to online instruction has enhanced practice; however, research demonstrating the alignment of learning styles with current technological resources has been limited. Learning styles and their interrelationship with technology and adult learners is as important today as initial learning style research was in the six decades after its beginnings in the 1940s. Education today must meet the needs of students who are more comfortable in electronic environments, as well as those who need the four-walled classroom. The ability to use learning style research to accomplish both will lead to enhanced student learning and a more productive experience.

The purpose of this research is to find out whether there is an influence of learning styles, mathematical disposition, and mathematical anxiety on metacognitive reconstruction in mathematics learning and to know how learning styles, mathematical disposition, andMathematical anxietyaffect metacognitive reconstruction in mathematics learning. This research was conducted using theMixed Method. The data processing in this research uses the Structural Equation Model (SEM) through the application of the Lisrel 8.80 program. Based on the data and research results, it can be concluded that: 1) there is an influence of learning style, mathematical disposition, and mathematical anxietyon metacognitive reconstruction in mathematics learning; 2) students with goodmetacognitive reconstruction prefer visual learning style and have a high mathematical disposition and low level of anxiety. Students with medium metacognitive reconstructions category prefer kinesthetic learning styles andhave a moderate mathematical disposition and moderate levels of anxiety. Students with low metacognitive reconstruction categories prefer audio learning styles and have a low mathematical disposition and a high level of anxiety.

This study aims to identify the effect of type of students’learning styles in reading comprehension achievement. The design of the research was a descriptive quantitative research that used a case study design. A total of 20 students of reading class on the second semester of IAIN Metro was sample of this research. In collecting the data, the researcher used questionnaire of learning style and reading comprehension test. In the analysis of data, the writer classified the categorization of learning style from the questionnaire and the scores of reading comprehension tests. Then, the result was analyzed by comparing the mean score in test manually using by percentage correct. The finding of the research the students have three types of learning style, they are visual (45%), auditory (30%), and kinesthetic (25%), in which visual is the most dominant. whereas the result of reading comprehension test, the mean score of visual is 79.2, auditory is 70.8, and kinesthetic is 65. In conclusion, It showed that the students of reading class on second semester of IAIN Metro used three types of learning style, but visual learning style is the most dominant learning style the students have.
