Abstract

Computer education has become a mandatory component within virtually every higher education discipline. Failure to complete computer courses successfully causes some students to react negatively towards information technology, as well as repeating the course. This study investigates factors involved in successfully completing an Introduction to Information Systems (Intro to IS) course by comparing performance when the cognitive style of the student matches the cognitive style of the instructor.
