Learning Styles of African American Children: A Review of the Literature and Interventions

Madge Gill Willis

Atlanta, Georgia

A review of theories, research, and models of the learning styles of Black children reveals that Black children generally learn in ways characterized by factors of social/affective emphases, harmony, holistic perspectives, expressive creativity, and nonverbal communication. Underlying these approaches are assumptions that Black Americans (African Americans) have been strongly influenced by their African heritage and culture, and that Black children's learning styles are different-but not deficient. Implications for interventions include recommendations for instructional interventions, curriculum organization, assessment, and suggestions for future research.
