  • Title: Learning styles of gifted adolescents with in-school versus out-of-school accomplishments in literature.
    Author: Hong E, Perkins PG, Milgram RM.
    Journal: Percept Mot Skills; 1993 Jun; 76(3 Pt 2):1099-102. PubMed ID: 8337053.
    Abstract:
    The learning styles of two groups of adolescents gifted in literature, one composed of subjects with high grade point averages in school in literature (n = 232) and one of subjects who had high scores on talented out-of-school accomplishments in literature (n = 192), were compared. Six of the 22 elements measured by the Learning Styles Inventory distinguished between the two groups. The out-of-school gifted group preferred to work with peers and felt comfortable learning in a variety of different ways. They tended to be less visual and more auditory learners and expressed a greater preference to learn by experiential or hands-on activities than the in-school gifted group. The implications for teaching and counseling gifted learners, differently defined, are discussed.
