Abstract
This research project investigated the measurement of learning
styles utilising a particular learning styles instrument. The
learning styles instrument that was employed was Honey &
Mumford1s Learning Styles Questionnaire. The project sought to
enquire whether this questionnaire can be usefully applied at an
institution of tertiary education in South Africa such as the
University of the Witwatersrand. Student reactions to Honey &
Mumford's Learning Styles Questionnaire suggest that in a South
African context it may not be an appropriate instrument to
measure learning styles.
