Resumen
This study explores different aspects of learning-styles by employing Felder-Solomon's Index of Learning-styles. This particular index has not been used as a measure of learning-styles in hospitality education as Kolb's Theory has been the method of choice. The relationship between learning-styles and students' career interests, which has not been investigated and reported upon in previous hospitality literature, is examined. Results indicate the majority of senior-level students (juniors and seniors) in the hospitality program surveyed are more likely to prefer active, sensing, visual, and sequential learning-styles. With few exceptions, students with different career interests display no variations in learning-styles.
