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.
