本文考察了国际商务管理多元文化课堂上学生的学习风格特征，以及文化制约如何反映在国内和国际学生的学习风格偏好中。使用费尔德和索罗曼的学习风格指数，这项研究发现，该工具测量的每个学习风格维度都得到了充分的代表，而且国际学生在除一个学习风格维度外的所有学习风格维度上的分数都显示出比国内学生更广泛的分散度，这表明学习偏好的更大差异可能在文化差异较大的队列中共存。在此基础上，提出了如何在企业管理教育中走向多元化教学模式，从而使所有学生在多元文化课堂中都能享有权利的建议。最后，讨论了这些研究结果对工商管理课程设计的影响。
This article examines the learning style profile exhibited by students in a multicultural class of international business management, and how cultural conditioning is reflected in the learning style preferences of home and international students. Using the Felder and Soloman's Index of learning Styles, this study finds that each learning style dimension measured by the instrument is amply represented and that the scores reported by international students on all but one learning style dimension show much wider measures of dispersion compared to those of home students suggesting that greater variations in learning preferences are likely to co-exist in culturally heterogeneous cohorts. Suggestions on how to move toward a multistyle teaching approach to business management education so as to enfranchise all students in the multicultural classroom are then put forward. Finally, a discussion of the implications of these findings with respect to the business management curriculum design is provided.
