Learning style refers to the way students concentrate
on, process, internalize, and recall new and difficult
information (Rochford, 2003). The term takes into con-
sideration the existence of a range of individual differ-
ences in how students prefer to gather and absorb data,and in how they process and organize such data (Felder
& Silverman, 1988; Van Zwanenberg, 2000). Further,
learning style is considered an inborn characteristic;
that is, although this personal trait is affected by expe-
rience and the environment, it is fairly stable over time
(Dunn & Stevenson, 1997; Matthews, 1994).
