Gregorc is best known for his theory of a Mind Styles Model and its associated Style Delineator.[2]CareerGregorc obtained a B.S. degree from Miami University and an M.S. degree and a Ph.D. degree from Kent State University. He has taught mathematics and biology and has been principal of a laboratory school for gifted youth. He was an associate professor of education administration at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and associate professor of curriculum and instruction at the University of Connecticut.[1] He is president of Gregorc Associates, Inc., in Columbia, Connecticut. Mind Styles Model and Gregorc Style DelineatorThe Gregorc Style Delineator is a self-scoring written instrument that elicits responses to a set of 40 specific words.[3] Scoring the responses will give values for a model with two axes: a "perceptual space duality," concrete vs. abstract, and an "ordering duality," sequential vs. random[4]The resulting quadrants are the "styles":
Descriptions of the characteristics of these styles can be found in the materials available from Gregorc Associates. A similarly structured (two-axis, four-style) learning style model with rather different axes and interpretation can be seen in the Kolb LSI. Supporting evidenceThe design, conduct, and results of Gregorc's original testing of the validity of his instrument and model are presented in his Development, Technical, and Administration Manual,[5]self-published and sold by Gregorc Associates. Some peer review has since appeared in conventional channels:
Review of Gregorc's studyTimothy Sewall, in a comparison of four learning style assessments (Gregorc's, Myers Briggs, Kolb LSI, and an LSI by Canfield) by review of their published supporting studies (i.e., without new experimental work) concluded of Gregorc's design, "the most appropriate use of this instrument would be to provide an example of how not to construct [an] assessment tool."[7] Studies by othersReio and Wiswell (2006) report on their own independent study and on those done earlier by O'Brien (1990) and Joniak and Isakson (1988).[8] ReliabilityInternal consistency or reliability concerns whether evidence can show that an instrument is repeatably measuring something (which may be, but is "not necessarily what it is supposed to be measuring"[9]).
Construct validityConstruct validity concerns whether evidence can show that what the instrument is measuring is at all what the offered theory claims it is (whether each construct in the model "adequately represents what is intended by theoretical account of the construct being measured"[12]).
Supporting evidence, learning style models generallyA report from the UK think-tank Demos reported that the evidence for a variety of learning style models is "highly variable", that "authors are not by any means always frank about the evidence for their work, and secondary sources ... may ignore the question of evidence altogether, leaving the impression that there is no problem here."
