(HE) has meant an increasing need for
flexibility in teaching and assessment to
accommodate students who utilise a variety
of approaches to learning. This paper
examines the learning styles of students
engaged on a first year degree electrical/
electronic engineering module at the
University of Derby and suggests ways
to provide further support for their study.
The existing teaching and assessment
mechanisms used within the module are
investigated in relation to learning style
preference bias. The paper describes
teaching and assessment amendments that
have been made in order to provide better
support for students with different learning
style preferences. The study utilises Honey
and Mumford’s Learning Style to examine
the learning styles of students, assess
existing teaching and assessment methods
within the module and suggest module
enhancements that should facilitate a broad
range of learning styles.
