Scores on a Japanese-Language Version of the Learning Channel Preference Checklist

A Questionable Instrument Within a Questionable Line of Instrumentation

Ian Isemonger

Kochi Women's University, Kochi, Japan

The psychometric properties of scores derived from a Japanese version of the Learning Channel Preference Checklist (LCPC) are examined in this study. The LCPC is one of a line of instruments dedicated to measuring perceptual learning styles that emerged in the 1980s and 1990s out of earlier work and instrumentation in the 1970s. It is argued that the more recent line of instrumentation dedicated to perceptual learning styles emerged without awareness of significant earlier debate concerning the predictive power of perceptual constructs in learning outcome and their operational viability. This article re-engages this recent line of instrumentation in general, and the LCPC in particular, with the seemingly disregarded questions surrounding the viability of operationalizing perceptual constructs. The article also alerts practitioners to potential problems with instruments attempting to operationalize perceptual preference through self-report.

Key Words: LCPC • learning styles • perceptual learning styles • validity
