Abstract

This study examined the relationship between MBTI personality, teaching methods, and classroom participation for 52 social science majors. Differences in preferred teaching methods across MBTI dichotomies were obtained. Students selected “actively participating in group activities" as classroom participation and most strongly agreed with “taking notes” as classroom participation activity.
