Abstract
Research on field dependence/independence in the learner reveals a number of interesting factors about preferred learning modalities. The field independent learner is most typically intrinsically motivated, for example, while highly field dependent people, who are more socially oriented, are motivated by external rewards. Additionally, and more important for the design of on-line instruction, field dependent learners require and prefer more structure, direction, and support from authority figures and colleagues than field independent learners.
