Barry S. Bailey; James R. Lindner; Brian Parr
Journal of Human Sciences & Extension, v5 n3 p71-81 2017
This study was designed to describe Georgia Young Farmer Program participants' learning style preferences. Using survey research methods, a questionnaire was designed to collect data related to the purpose of the study. The population for this study included active members in the program. Study findings showed that participants had a preference for kinesthetic learning over visual and auditory learning. While participants indicated a preference for kinesthetic learning, all three learning styles were deemed effective. Preferences for learning styles and perception of effectiveness did not differ by personal characteristics. Recommendations include taking learning style preferences into account when designing and delivering programming, training for teachers, and continuing to assess learners' preferences.
