The main purpose of this study was to investigate the learning styles of vocational high school students majoring in food and beverage management (F&BM) before-and-after enrollment. This study took a private school in Nantou County as the study case. One hundred and eight subjects were selected from the study case which the enrolled students in August, 2009 and still registered in August, 2011. A longitudinal study over two-year period was conducted to collect data by using the survey research methods. The survey included a measure of KLSI-1999 and questions related to the individual demographics. The research results indicated that most of the students fell into Kolb’s Diverger category, the lesser were labeled Accommodators, and there were small groups of Assimilators and Convergers. The distribution of students’ learning styles in different programs was slightly different. Forty-two percent of the respondents changed their learning styles after two-year studying. It shows that learning styles have been nurtured by the learning environment though they may be natured. Finally, the research and managerial implications have been discussed at the end to conclude this study. |
