More about the model

'The LSP is a sophisticated instrument in terms of its theory base and computerised format. Designed for use in business and education. The theoretical model and the LSP ... have promise for wider use and consequential refinement in organisational and educational contexts.' (p.29).

'It deserves to be widely studied' (p.56)

Coffield, F., Moseley, D., Hall, E., & Ecclestone, K. (2004). Should we be using learning styles. What research has to say to practice? Learning and Skills Research Centre

'Jackson's theoretical stance is not rigid, and it is noteworthy that he does not see a problem in acknowledging that learning styles are influenced to varying degrees by biology as well as by experience and conscious control. By encouraging self-awareness about preferences, behaviour and beliefs, Jackson is promoting a positive attitude to personal development. It is possible that this approach will prove more fruitful in organisational psychology, education and training than the many existing commercial applications which rely on theories of fixed personality
traits'. (p.58)

'There is a positive emphasis in the computer-generated recommendations for personal development which result from completing the questionnaire. The feedback is very detailed and contains suggestions for building on strengths, dealing with challenging situations and remedying maladaptive learning.' (p.58)
