Hence, data is collected from 200 participants using 1) the BFI-10 to obtain the participant's expression of personality traits according to the five-factor model, 2) the ILS to determine the participant's learning style according to Felder and Silverman, and 3) a demographic questionnaire. From the obtained data, we train and evaluate a Bayesian network. Using Bayesian statistics, we show that age and gender slightly influence personality and that demographics as well as personality have at least a minor effect on learning styles. We also discuss the limitations and future work of the presented approach.}, language = {en} }
