...hinking disposition differences existed between students of different leadership styles or adaptability. Likewise, students of various leadership styles and levels of adaptability apparently do not experience interference with the development of critical thinking disposition due to a pre-disposition to respond to a leadership situation in a particular way. Likewise, no differences in critical thinking disposition existed between students of learning styles. The implications of these findings for faculty indicate that instructors may be able to influence critical thinking dispositions across a broad spectrum of teaching strategies; that is, particular attention to one or more types of learning styles is not needed to advance student critical thinking disposition. In addition, students who are inclined to approach leadership situations differently (Telling, Selling, Participating, Delegating) apparently do not experience interference with their disposition to learn to think critically because of their leadership tendency.The purpose of this study was to determine the influence of leadership style, learning style, and leadership adaptability on critical thinking disposition. The target population for this ex post facto study was 115 students enrolled in a college of agriculture and life sciences leadership development course. Results showed that no critical thinking disposition differences existed between students of different leadership styles or adaptability.
