Abstract
Cognitive styles repeatedly have been shown to have important education-related influences. Theoretically, classroom instruction should improve if teachers can practically identify students' cognitive styles and adapt instructional methods accordingly. This study investigated the validity of teachers' perceptions of students' cognitive styles. Four instruments were correlated with teachers' perceptions of 113 elementary school children. The results suggest that teachers can generate tenable initial estimates of some style preferences of students.
