Summary:
This study established the effectiveness of matching prescriptions in an individualized reading program to the learning styles of students at the Community College level. The study was made at Miami-Dade Community College (South) during the Winter Term, 1977. Two questionnaires were administered to measure the experimental and control group 1 students' perception of the learning experience and to measure the experimental and control group 1 instructors' perception of the students. It was concluded that the tests selected were valid and reliable for this study. The results obtained by the experimental group students showed that matching produced higher means in posttest scores. The sex and age factors did not influence the students' final scores to the degree that the ethnic factor did. It was recommended that further similar research be done in the matching of student learning style and reading materials.
