Each learner in a learning environment has some characteristics that are prerequisites of his/her learning. These attributes, are called the input behaviors. One of the factors that the individual brings to learning situation is learning style. According to Patterson and his colleagues (2009) learning styles are psychological processes and preferred strategies for learning. This study followed the impact of parenting typology (combined mother and father parenting style) on learning styles of children. For this a sample of 400 secondary-school students in Isfahan were selected. Then they completed the Kolb Learning Styles Inventory and modified Scheffer's Parenting Styles Inventory. The results of one-way analysis of variance method, and Scheffe's post-hoc test showed that adolescents with family parenting typology, that contain two authoritative parents, have higher scores in concrete experience learning style; adolescents with two authoritarian parents, indifferent mother/indulgent father and indifferent mother/indifferent father, showed higher scores in abstract conceptualization learning style. Eventually, parenting types including two authoritative parents, indulgent mother/authoritative father and indulgent mother/indulgent father, have higher scores in active- examination learning style.
