Learning Styles of Post-Secondary Vocational Education Students and Hotel Managers in The Bahamas

This study sought to determine the learning styles of full-time post-secondary vocational educational students and general managers in the Bahamas. Data were as drawn from two groups: 94 full-time students at Bahamas Hotel Training College (BHTC) and 24 hotel general managers, using the Marshall and Merritt (1984) Learning Style Instrument with a Semantic Differential (LSI-SD), which is based on Kolb's Learning Style Model. Results of the study indicated that the majority of the students (n=44, 50.7%) and managers (n=21, 87.5%) had a diverger learning style. In other words, there is evidence that all full-time post-secondary students and hotel managers in this study had a predominant learning style that was measurable.
