Abstract

Numerous researches have formed the basis for the development of a number of personalised learning theories and models, based on cognitive, psychological, sociological, and cultural aspects of the learner. Each theory proposes a learning style from a particular point of view into a defined context. These theories have been put into practice through several models consisting, typically,of a bipolar scale with a single characteristic at each end. The problem is that many of the theories overlap and intersect in confusing ways. This confusion is, basically, about terminology, where different terms are used with similar meanings, and vice versa the same term is used with different meanings. This paper provides an overview of the learning style field and merges its differentterms in order to define a meta model that unifies the different characteristics.
