چکیده (انگلیسی):

This study reports on the results of a research on learning styles and critical thinking skills of sixty
eight postgraduate students of Master’s Level Business Education Programs. These students have
participated in both phases of our research. In the first phase, carried out in spring 2005, Kolb’s
Learning Style Inventory (LSI v.3) was the basis of the administered questionnaire and in the second
phase, carried our in winter 2005 – 06, the LSI v.3 and the California Critical Thinking Skills Test
(CCTST) were the basis of the administered questionnaire. Results show that the prevailing learning
style types are the ‘assimilating’ and the ‘converging’ ones. Between the first and the second phase
students have become more balanced learners. This balanced learning development relates to bo th
‘Concrete – Abstract’ and ‘Active – Reflective’ dimensions of the learning process and this latter
dimension correlates significantly with students’ critical thinking skills on all scales of the used
instrument.
