What People Have to Say About CAPSOL

"Capsol has been a significant part of our school improvement program, particularly at the middle school level. It has been valuable in identifying student strengths, analyzing data for skill building, and has served as the centerpiece of our professional development program."

Richard Wair
Asst. Supt. For Curr.

"I have used the Capsol Learning Style inventory with my high school students with very positive results! Naturally, both teacher and student benefit greatly by understanding individual learning strengths. The information resulting from the Capsol helps both teacher and student approach the student's learning through strengths and addresses/improves weakness(es). Bottom line: We have learned after far too many years that learning happens individually, not collectively."

Jenell Hebert,
High School Teacher

"I have used the CAPSOL learning style inventory for over 15 years with about 2,000 graduate students(mostly teachers). Many of them introduced CAPSOL to their school systems. What I particularly like about this instrument is that the learner can do a self-assessment in a short period of time and that it is easy to score and interpret. I and my students have used CAPSOL with students of all ages from third grade to graduate school. I have also used it in inservice teacher-training programs with great success. I strongly recommend that CAPSOL be part of the learning style inventory mix for use by schools and colleges."

"The Capsol inventory is an important tool in my work as a Gifted Intervention Specialist in four elementary schools. It has proven to be instrumental in identifying how students learn best. I use the insights the Capsol reveals to increase the students' awareness of how they take in information. Being cognizant of their learning styles has helped my students increase their problem solving skills, expand their academic growth, and take more responsibility for their learning."

Adrienne Artz,
Gifted Intervention Specialist

I have used the CAPSOL extensively in my classes in teaching students in the allied health profession of athletic training education and the information provided helps me to curtail my teaching methods to the students preferred learning methods. I highly recommend this instrument because it examines the basic learning styles of auditory, kinesthetic, visual, individual, group, sequential, global, written, or oral learning styles.

"I have been using CAPSOL in a series of workshops where seasoned employees learn to mentor new employees. Everyone loves CAPSOL because it is fairly quick and easy to understand. I combine it with education around the use of multiple intelligences."

Reliability

Reliability of the Cap-Sol was determined by administering the student version to 480 fifth and sixth grade students in a test/retest situation. A Pearson's r was calculated for each of the 45 items to determine the correlation between the responses to the items from the first to second administration of the Cap-Sol. A mean correlation coefficient was also calculated to estimate test-retest reliability of the instrument. Correlation coefficients for the 45 items ranged from 0.52 to 0.93. The mean correlation coefficient for the items was 0.74.
