The Canfield Learning Style Inventory was administered to 693 students. A one-way analysis of variance was used to investigate the differences in achievement depending on learning style in each of eight subject areas of Liberal Arts, Science, Mathematics, Business, Vocational, Native American Studies, Developmental, and Physical Education. Tukey a priori post tests were performed on all significant differences. Significant differences at the .05 level were found in all eight subject areas. A total of 39 significant differences were found. These differences suggest that learning styles contribute to the success of the Native American student in all subject areas. Native American students should be made aware of learning style strengths, and should receive counseling on learning strategies. Instructors should use a variety of teaching methods. Overall conclusions suggest that since most students can learn, changes need to be made to teaching-learning methods, grading, and staff development. Areas for further research include similar studies with other ethnic and age populations, replication using larger samples in mathematics and science, and use of results along with learning strategies to counsel students to see if such counseling would produce better achievement.Item A case study of American Indian students at the College of Great Falls(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Education, Health & Human Development, 1995) Thompson, Audrey KayItem Historical uses of natural resources : transference of knowledge in the Crow Indian environment(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Education, Health & Human Development, 1999) Yarlott, David Edward, Jr.This study is about the historical uses of natural resources by the Crow Indians; how they knew what was useful to their survival and how that knowledge was transferred to the next generation. The author tried to identify those resources which were historically used in order to preserve the information as well as resources still in use so they could be protected. He concludes that though it's usually unwise to return to past ways of life, it is possible to learn from the past. Preservation, protection, and perpetuation of the old practices should be a priority. Documenting this information makes it available to others and ensures that the knowledge won't be lost.Item Perceptions of Native American women in college of the impact of the teachers' attitudes and the classroom environment on their K-12 learning(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Education, Health & Human Development, 1999) Parker, Koleen
