Abstract
The paper introduces results of meta-analysis focused on the field of learning styles in the e-learning environment held in two periods (2001–2007, 2008–2014) within selected journals in database systems ProQuest Central, Elsevier Science Direct and ERIC. Totally 5,361 relating papers were collected in both periods. The papers were structured according to three criteria. Collected data underwent the chí-squared test for independence and analysis of adjusted residuals on the significance level α = 0.05. The results did not prove any statistically significant change. Results were discussed and relating conclusions provided.
