A number of studies investigate the relationships between the degree of field dependence and students’ leaning patterns within WBI. Table I presents a list of 11 recent studies published from 2000 to 2005. As shown in this table, it is still inconclusive whether field-independent and field-dependent students have different learning patterns. In addition, these studies mainly relied on traditional statistics which, in turn, might produce insufficient data analysis. A lack of deep analysis might cause some relevant relationships to be ignored, for example, what dominant learning patterns appear in WBI and whether cognitive style is a major factor influencing students’ learning patterns or if other human factors, such as prior knowledge and gender differences. To conduct such a deep analysis, there technology influence learning patterns is needed that combines statistical rigor and computational power to analyze, summarize,and interpret data effectively. Data mining is one such technology.
