摘要:The learning styles literature con be considered as going through a revival during the several past years. Although learning styles have been heavily researched, little is known about Slovenian students’ learning styles, especially in the field of management education. The aim of the study is to explore the learning styles of students enrolled in the Economics of Education course at the FELU (University of Ljubljana, Faculty of Economics) The study method included both a descriptive and an exploratory perspective. A qualitative method was used to overview the literature background. Factor analysis, using the “Principle Axes Factoring” method, was used to extract learning styles. The adapted versions of Honey and Mumford’s Learning Style Questionnaire and Dunn & Dunn’s Learning Style Theory were used as research instruments in the questionnaire. The findings outline that for the educators in higher education, the challenge is to provide meta-cognitive support for students, enabling them to reflect not just on what they learn but also how and why.
