Construct Validity and Classification Stability of the Revised Learning Style Inventory (LSI-1985)

University of Lethbridge, Alberta

This study of about 200 undergraduates examined the construct validity and classification stability over an academic semester of the revised Learning Style Inventory (LSI-1985).The psychometric and factor analyses at two points in time revealed limited support for the construct validity of the LSI-1985. One major problem was the cross-loading of Concrete Experience (CE) items on the two- and four-factor solutions. This problem also carries over to the psychometric (e.g., item-total correlations) analyses. When stability of the four learning styles was examined over a 10-week period, between 42.8% and 50% of subjects remained in the same category. Overall, the revised LSI has not resolved the psychometric problems raised against the original version.
