Trainees differ in their preferences for learning strategies, and these differences can moderate the effectiveness of training programs. Unfortunately, previous attempts to develop learning style preference measures have not yielded reliable measures. The authors conducted two studies as part of an effort to develop and provide an initial validation of a learning style orientation measure. Factor analyses revealed five distinct and reliable learning style orientations. Scores on these factors were related to personality and instructional methods preferences. Findings provided preliminary support of the convergent and discriminant validity of the measure.

Key Words: styles • learning • training • measurement
