Teaching and Learning Styles in Higher Education Institutions: Do They Match?

This study examines the teaching and learning style of lecturers and students at Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia. A translated version of Grasha-Riechman (1994) Teaching and Learning Style Inventories were distributed to 120 lecturers and 545 students. Results indicated that expert, facilitator and delegator teaching styles were dominant among lecturers while students are more dominant in collaborative and competitive learning styles. The implications of the findings are discussed in terms of university teaching and learning to enhance delivery systems and the outcomes of learning. (C) 2010 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
