Cognitive Style

Abstract

This chapter provides an insight into how the intrapersonal constraint/enabler element of cognitive style impacts the situated learning activity of project participants. At first glance, this term seems at odds with a situated and social constructivist perspective on learning, given that cognitive implies, in one’s own head. In respect to this study however, cognitive style is not considered simply an internal personalized matter for separate individuals to consider in isolation to others. It is instead a socially oriented learning issue for a project team to recognize, to understand and to manage. This comes about because in publicly and explicitly evaluating the cognitive styles of project team participants and the impacts those styles have on their learning activities within a project, the implicit style of an individual is made explicit, it is acknowledged and challenged by self and others (Hampson, 1995), and catered for in the future learning actions of the project team. Hence, in undertaking such public exposition and public reflection (Raelin, 2001), it becomes a sociological learning issue.
