Abstract

The Kolb Learning Style Inventory Version 3.1 (KLSI 3.1), revised in 2005, is the latest revision of the original Learning Style Inventory developed by David A. Kolb. Like its predecessors, KLSI 3.1 is based on experiential learn- ing theory (Kolb 1984) and is designed to help individuals identify the way they learn from experience. This revi- sion includes new norms that are based on a larger, more diverse, and more representative sample of 6977 LSI users. The format, items, scoring and interpretative booklet remain identical with KLSI 3. The technical specifications are designed to adhere to the standards for educational and psychological testing developed by the American Educational Research Association, the American Psychological Association, and the National Council on Measurement in Educa- tion (1999). Section 1 of the technical specifications describes the conceptual foundations of the LSI 3.1 in the theory of experiential learning (ELT). Section 2 provides a description of the inventory that includes its purpose, history, and format. Section 3 describes the characteristics of the KLSI 3.1 normative sample. Section 4 includes internal reli- ability and test-retest reliability studies of the inventory. Section 5 provides information about research on the internal and external validity for the instrument. Internal validity studies of the structure of the KLSI 3.1 using correlation and factor analysis are reported. External validity includes research on demographics, educational specialization, con- current validity with other experiential learning assessment instruments, aptitude test performance, academic perfor- mance, experiential learning in teams, and educational applications.
