KU professor administers nationwide learning test
By Jennifer Bach
Kenson staff writer
Kansan staff writer
Gary Price has more students' tests to deal with that just those he administers to his counseling psychology classes at KU.
Price, professor of psychology, is in charge of distributing Learning Style Inventory Tests to elementary, secondary universities throughout the United States.
The Learning Style Program, based at
Scholars Univ. in Jamaica, N.Y., was
devoted to her memory.
With the help of Pam Kufah, Topeka graduate student, and Jennifer Nyberg, a Lawrence resident, Price grades and returns the tests.
The tests consist of 104 questions about student learning environments. Students from grades three through 12 and adults are asked to fill in the computer-scanned bubbles that best represent their preferred study conditions.
- Our motto is, 'If students don't learn the way we teach, let's teach the way they learn.'
Kufail said that she sometimes graded between 500 and 2,000 tests a day.
Price said that about 200,000 students and 3,000 adults took the test each year.
Price said that he researched the test results after they were graded and that he used them to draw conclusions about how
"Sometimes, college students need more structure and specificity than others," he said. "They need mobility. It's hard for them to stay at a task for more than about 15 minutes. They need to get up and move around."
college students studied.
Vocabulary and length are the only variations in the separate tests administered to children and adults. The vocabulary used for the adults is slightly more complex, he
Although the tests are not mandatory, many teachers like to have their students take them to measure individual study environments.
The test for adults focuses on 20 study areas, whereas students' tests study 22
School teachers and administrators call Price or send in order forms to request the tests. The tests are mailed in packages of 10, 60, 120 and 500.
After the tests are returned to Price and graded in a scanner, a computer prints out an individual profile for each student, Kufahsaid.
A raw score for each student is devised and a graph shows the students how their scores compare.
"It seems to be beneficial, and students can get a lot out of it," Kufah said. "It's helpful because it shows how students can learn better."
Democrats blast Bush for handling of economy
The Associated Press
In the first debate of the 1992 presidential campaign yesterday, the six main Democratic candidates attacked President Bush's handling of the recession, saying that they had better ideas for a quick economic recovery.
"The president of the United States just doesn't seem to understand that there is a life-and-death struggle going on in America today," Nebraska Sen. Bob Kerrey said in his opening statement at the debate hosted by the AFL-CIO. "Increasingly, I believe Americans are growing distasteful of that kind of leadership."
Echoing those themes, Arkansas Gov. Bill Clinton said that in the 1992 election, voters need to "change our national leadership to restore our economic leadership, restore the forgotten middle class."
The biggest applause during the opening remarks went to labor's sarly favorite in the race. Iowa Sen. Tom Harkin.
Harkin denigrated Bush and also took a poke at Kerrey by reminding the union leaders that the Nebraskan voted to give Bush "fast-track" authority to negotiate a free-trade agreement, or for leaders argue that the treaty will eliminate American jobs.
Harkin won applause when he promised to rebuild America's infrastructure and said, "I mean to do it with American steel and American products and American labor in our own country."
Virginia G. L. Douglas Wilder also used his opening statement to lob a voley at a rival. He said Democrats had been hurt by those who decided after Walter Mondale's 1984 loss that the party was too close to labor and minorities — a clear shot at the centrist Democratic Leadership Council headed until recently by Clinton.
