Abstract

The purpose of current study was to adopt an experiment to explore the relationship among students' cognitive styles, learning processes and learning performances under students learning with computer multimedia for eradicating statistical misconceptions. Twenty eight undergraduates with different cognitive styles (imagers or verbalizers) were selected as the subjects. The study results displayed that students with different cognitive styles indeed show preference in different representations and then have different learning processes during learning with computer with multimedia. Besides, both imagers and verbalizers can effectively reduce their statistical misconceptions by learning with computer multimedia. However, the imagers can better reduce the more misconceptions through learning with computer multimedia effectively than the verbalizers
