Abstract
This study was conducted to investigate differences in learning styles between men and women. The study is based on the learning style work by Belenky, Clinchy, Goldberger, and Tarule and David Kolb. A survey t hat included the Kolb Learning Style Inventory, 12 Educational Dialect ical questions, and a subjective question was administered to 72 subje cts of various ethnic groups. The results showed that men and women we re found to have different learning styles, and in general, men seemed to find congruence between traditional education and their learning s tyle while women did not.
