Abstract
‘Intellectual Styles’ is an umbrella term for all
types of styles. It takes into consideration, the
concepts and constructs of ‘cognitive styles’,
‘learning styles’, teaching styles’ and ‘thinking
styles’. This is done in an attempt to give a less
complicated and single reference point for
‘styles’ research in general, and is itself the
product of recent research aimed at a
unification of the plethora of styles.
Handbook of Intellectual Styles is a collection
of carefully selected articles that give a holistic
account of various intellectual styles. The book
begins with a preface, in which the editors define
intellectual styles as “a generic term for all style
constructs, with or without the root word ‘style’,
and refers to people’s preferred ways of
processing information and dealing with tasks”.
The editors identify the goal of the book as: “to
provide a complete, definitive, and authoritative
single volume on intellectual styles”.
