Abstract
According to Experiential Learning Theory (Kolb, 1984) knowledge is created through the grasping and transforming of experience and students need to traverse a cycle of concrete experience (CE), reflective observation (RO), abstract conceptualization (AC), and active experimentation (AE), in order to learn. Individuals often have a preference for one or more of the four phases, however, producing one of four learning styles: Diverging, Assimilating, Converging, and Accommodating. We assess the importance of learning style for students taking an IS Analysis and Design course. We examine the properties of the Learning Style Inventory (LSI-1999) instrument and then determine whether there is any relationship between learning style and performance in the course (110 words.)
