Abstract: The purpose of this research was to identify learning style preferences of the limited-resource women who participate in educational programs with the Cooperative Extension Service in six counties of North Carolina. Five Extension Agents and three Extension paraprofessionals were trained in learning style theories and application, assessment of learning style preferences, and development of curriculum materials based on learning style preferences as well as educational needs. After a thorough review of the literature and a study of existing learning style assessments the researcher, in collaboration with the authors modified the Learning Style Survey (Griffin & O'Sullivan, 1993). The modified Learning Style Survey included a total of 15 items built around four stimuli, similar to elements contained in the Productivity Environmental Preference Survey (PEPS) developed by Dunn & Dunn (1979).
