Exploring teaching styles and cognitive styles: Evidence from school teachers in Canada
There is limited research on the study of the teaching styles of classroom teachers in Canada. The purpose of this study was to identify the teaching styles of public school teachers and to explore the relationship between teaching styles and cognitive styles. Participants in this study were 122 school teachers enrolled in a variety of graduate education courses in a university in eastern Canada. They completed the Teaching Styles Questionnaire (TSQ), the Cognitive Style Index (CSI) and a demographic survey. Teachers did differ in their teaching styles and the results suggest a relationship between teaching styles and cognitive styles. Implications of these findings for the teaching profession are discussed.

Abstract

There is limited research on the study of the teaching styles of classroom teachers in Canada. The purpose of this study was to identify the teaching styles of public school teachers and to explore the relationship between teaching styles and cognitive styles. Participants in this study were 122 school teachers enrolled in a variety of graduate education courses in a university in eastern Canada. They completed the Teaching Styles Questionnaire (TSQ), the Cognitive Style Index (CSI) and a demographic survey. Teachers did differ in their teaching styles and the results suggest a relationship between teaching styles and cognitive styles. Implications of these findings for the teaching profession are discussed.
