Assessment of Learning Mode

The CAPSOL measures nine important student preferences, profiling from low to high preference in each of the following areas.

  AUDITORY- The learner's preference for listening, understanding spoken directions, following logic that is explained verbally, and addressing background sounds-whether supportive or disruptive

VISUAL- The learner's preference for visually gathering and comprehending information through reading, observing models, maps, graphic organizers, charts, and demonstrations, and to internalize their own perspective

BODILY KINESTHETIC-The learner's preference for understanding by actively touching, manipulating, arranging, acting, showing, and experimenting with various physical approaches by experiencing first-hand

INDIVIDUAL-The learner's preference for addressing acquisition of knowledge from an individual perspective, comparing new information with previous experience and reflecting understanding through their own opinions and modes of perception

GROUP-The learner's preference for collaboration with one or more other students in planning, discussing, sharing responsibility, organizing, listening, and supporting a point of view leading to a product

ORAL EXPRESSIVE-The learner's preference for expressing their understanding and insight through spoken description or through questioning of ideas, concepts or facts.

WRITTEN EXPRESSIVE-The learner's preference for expressing their understanding and insight through written descriptions, questioning, word processing emphasizing cut/paste approaches, and drawing conclusions

SEQUENTIAL-The learner's preference for information and procedures that are based on logic, timeliness, ordering, prioritizing, and inferencing, including timelines, flo-charts, diagrams, etc.

GLOBAL-The learner's preference for "big picture" understanding and addressing information whole to part, internalizing the "why", wanting to know what will this become, and if I learn this information, where can I apply it in the real world

Reliability

Reliability of the Cap-Sol was determined by administering the student version to 960 fifth grade through tenth 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.
