Structured observations, focus groups, and qualitative research methods were used to examine theory-based learning strategies and participant experiences in a nutrition education program. Theory based learning strategies included use of open-ended questions, visual aids, and experiential learning activities. Open-ended questioning and some experiential activities were used less often than desired. Language of lesson delivery and instructional setting appear to influence the use of learning strategies. Lesson delivery and instructional setting may be relevant for preferred learning styles of different cultures.
