Abstract

The preferred way people apply in learning is known as learning style. Adapting different learning strategies to different learning styles yields a better learning outcome. In this paper, we describe a novel rule- based approach to detect the students’ learning styles (sequential/global) by analyzing their navigation patterns in the prerequisite structure. In order to evaluate the accuracy of the proposed approach, a case study in dance education was conducted, 32 students were asked to learn 10 dances by browsing the prerequisite structure in a dance education system. Students’ browsing histories are recorded and analyzed so that their learning styles are extracted. The result shows that our approach is optimistic.
