THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND
Introduction
information for efficient learning. Rita Dunn described the concept of learning style as
unique and was developed by the students when she/he was leaning new and difficult
knowledge. Learning style is about how students learn rather than what they learn. Even
in the same educational setting, not all students learn at the same quality or level. This is

guarantee that everyone would have the best possible learning environment. This could

and teachers in understanding how to improve their perspective learning and teaching
and aligning your overall curriculum with these learning styles will benefit your entire
classroom. Keep in mind that sometimes a combination of all these four sensory
modalities is the best option. Allowing students to access information in terms they
understand will boost their academic confidence. Learning Style has to do with how
people bring new information into their knowledge base. The concept of learning style
traces some of each origin back to 334 BCC when Aristotle theorized every child
possesses specific talents and skills after he recognized children had these differences, the
concept of learning style formed, and researchers began developing their own theories.

process different styles preference. Since there are individual differences in learning
styles, adapting academic materials to their difference will facilitate learning and thus
help increase learning benefits especially for low and moderate achieving students (Zin,
Zaman and Noah 2002). Therefore understanding students learning styles and their
impact on their academic achievement is important for teacher for it is the first step in
ensuring students achievement. This study aims to determine the students Learning Style

Several literatures and studies have been made by other researches with the
purpose of providing foundation for the discussions and analysis of the subject under the
present study.

attention in recent years. There are more than twenty style dimensions that have been
identified so far. It has come out of the more general research on cognitive styles,
particularly from the field of psychology. The earliest and frequently discussed
dimension of learning styles is the concept of filed dependence and field independence

the basis of the learning theories. And the four learner types are converger, diverger,
According to Pashler, et al,(2009), the writing that touch on the learning styles
concept in its broadest sense include several thousand articles and dozens of books.
These figures may seem surprisingly large, but one should keep in mind the sheer number
of different schemes or models of learning style that have been proposed over the years.
Various studies had been conducted in the field of learning preference; the interest of the
researchers related to this kind of topic is irrefutable. Furthermore, most of the current
The canfield learning style inventory in one well-known instrument for assessing
student instructional preference. Faculties have used the canfield inventories to ascertain
the learning preference of their students and to initiate class discussion of learning styles
and course assignments. Although the canfield learning style inventory (LSI) has not yet
been used in accounting education studies, it has been used in other, related discipline.
For example, authors have used the canfield LSI to assess learning style preferences of
As age increases, working memory declines. This affects learning because it can
make tasks, such as, problem solving and decision-making more difficult. No significant
difference between emotional working memory with age. There is an association between
age and students learning styles. While older age students prefer of the professors

lecturing, younger age students prefer to have more interactive learning strategies. The
youngest students had higher scores in academic performance that the older students.
Contrary to this, found that late entrance and repetition do not exert negative effects on
the relative age effect (RAE). This effect is more important the younger the students is.
According to Brown (2000) learning styles is defined as the manner in which individuals
perceive and process information in learning situations. Learning slows with age. This
trade-off between what researcher call fluid intelligence and crystalized intelligence.
Even if our minds slow down as we get older, we accumulate more experience. We know
more as we age, even if we’re slower at learning and processing new information. . In
other words researches will take note of the concept of a child that is able to explore and
seek information in their own unique ways. The study stated that understanding the
different types of learners and making adjustments (in terms of how an educator teaches)
for their learning styles will improve communication and help prevent frustration or
misunderstanding – in the part of the students. The study recommend that politeness in
communication is the best way/ to deal which such groups with varying learning styled.
This has a relation to the researches current study because it’s specifically tackled the 3

A number of theories have sought to defined and clarify the characteristics and
themes surrounding the concept of learning styles. Learning styles is a personal peers and
teachers and otherwise participate in learning experience. Felder and Spurlin (2005)
described learning styles as the strengths and preferences in the ways of students take in
and process information. These definitions all posit that the concept of learning styles in
concerned with the distinct ways in which students acquire and process information.
Theories have also explored the application of this concept of learning styles to students’
using Kolb’s learning styles inventory and concluded that is a significant relationship
between learning styles and academic performances. Several researcher have explored
the problem of learning styles and performances at the tertiary. Garner O’ Neale and
Harrison (2013) reported that there was no significant or predictive relationship between
learning styles and performance. The differing findings in the literature with regards to
the relationship between learning styles and academic performances are indeed
ubiquitous. Hence, the researcher suggests there is need for additional research to further
different type of learning styles in each child or student. This is thirteen beneficial to the
researches because it emphasizes the need to recognized the different types of learning
styles each student possesses in a classroom Trough this, if this concept were to be
utilized, it would be valuable to the teachers in determining how he/she will handle
his/her students Other than that it proposed a solution a solution towards possible

learning performance the relationship between learning styles, thinking styles and
academic achievement of students. Their research results indicate that learning styles and
thinking styles are closely related and these are two important factors for predicting
student performance. Farsides & Woodfield (2003), examined the relationship between
motivation, learning style and academic achievement. These researchers also stated a
positive relationship between learning styles and student performance. Homayoni &
Abdolahi (2003), investigated the relationship between learning styles and learning
performance of high school students, looked into the relationship between learning styles
and academic achievement of high school students. Their study revealed a very close
correlation between learning style and learning performance. Siddiquei & Khalid (2018);
Komarraju (2011), studied the correlation between personality, learning style and
indicated that personality and learning style can together influence and result in 17% of
