Learning Styles Questionnaire (40-item) - Booklet
First Published - January 2006
Until now the 40-item version of the famous Honey & Mumford Learning Styles Questionnaire has only been available to do online or as a Licence to Print. Originally developed as part of our online Learning Series it has proved so popular that we have produced a user-friendly workbook containing the questionnaire, score key and a wealth of supporting information - everything a learner needs in 54 pages. For people who have not previously given much consideration to how they learn this is an ideal introduction.
