Universities strive to ensure quality education focused on the diversity of the student body. According to experiential learning theory, students display different learning preferences. This study has a three-fold objective: to compare learning styles based on personal and educational variables, to analyze the association between learning styles, the level of academic performance, and consistency of performance in four assessment methods, and to examine the influence of learning dimensions in students with medium-high performance in the assessment methods. An interdisciplinary approach was designed involving 289 psychology, early childhood education and primary education students at two universities in Spain. The Learning Style Inventory was used to assess learning styles and dimensions. The assessment methods used in the developmental psychology course included the following question formats: multiple-choice, short answer, creation-elaboration and an elaboration question on the relationship between theory and practice. Univariate analysis, multivariate analysis, and binomial logistic models were computed. The results reveal Psychology students to be more assimilative (theoretical and abstract), while early childhood and primary education students were evenly distributed among styles and were more divergent and convergent (practical) in absolute terms. In addition, high scores in perception (abstract conceptualization) were associated with a high level of performance on the multiple-choice tests and the elaboration question on the relationship between theory and practice. Abstract conceptualization was also associated with medium-high performance in all assessment methods and this variable predicted consistent high performance, independent of the assessment method. This study highlights the importance of promoting abstract conceptualization. Recommendations for enhancing this learning dimension are presented.

Understanding of learning material, especially accounting material, has an impact on the achievement of students' learning outcomes. The research aims to look at the factors that influence the learning approach of Unimed accounting education students. This research was carried out in the FE UNIMED using questionnaires distributed to students of the Accounting Education Program batch of 2015 and 2016, amounting 60 and 68 students from each batch. The selection of batches is based on the type of curriculum applied to each batch, namely the Indonesian National Qualification Framework (abbreviated as KKNI) for 2016 and the non-KKNI for 2015. The approach used in this study was a qualitative approach, with the analysis used was descriptive statistical analysis on factors such as interest, motivation, learning style, anxiety, institutional, and learning strategies. The descriptive analysis shows that except for the interest indicating that non-KKNI students have a higher interest in applying a variety of learning approaches of Non-KKNI students than their KKNI peers, other factors are similar between students from two batches.  Keywords: Interest; Motivation; Learning Style; Anxiety; Institutional.

Recent reviews of accounting education research have called for continued assessment of learning style inventories in accounting contexts (Geiger and Boyle 1992; Rebele et al. 1998). This study presents a critical evaluation of the psychometric properties of the Canfield Learning Styles Inventory (LSI), proposed by Francis et al. (1995) as an instrument for possible use by accounting educators. The study administered two versions (standard and scrambled) to 531 accounting majors from eight universities, applying a test-retest strategy after a 4–5 week interval. The versions were examined for internal consistency reliability, test-retest reliability, classification stability, and construct validity. We found moderate internal consistency (item analyses scores weaker than those reported by Canfield [1988]) and a substantial amount of learner-type classification instability across the two administrations. In terms of construct validity, two-factor solutions were not consistent with those reported by Canfield (1988). Further, three-factor solutions also were not consistent with Canfield's three learning domains. Therefore, along with limited theoretical support and the lack of empirical justification, we find little support for the use of the Canfield LSI in accounting education research.

Abstract. Learning style is one of the important factors  needed to absorb, store and process the new information. This research is a study to see the profile and percentage of studenst learning styles of SWCU Biology Education students and the influence of different learning styles on the GPA obtained. Researcher got the data of  students’ learning styles by using questionnaire.  The statistical procedures employed in this study were one-way ANOVA. The results showed  that the largest percentage of learning styles that were used  by the students of biology education were auditory learning styles by 32% and the VAK (Visual Auditory Kinesthetic) learning style was the least used by education students by 2%. The analysis of the percentage of learning styles showed that 72% of students with auditory learning styles reached a satisfactory category until magna cum laude, but the percentage of students that used VAK (Visual Auditory Kinesthetic ) learning styles only reached satisfying GPA level. Statistical test results in this study demonstrated that the use of learning styles did not give significantly different effect on the students’ GPA.Keywords: Personal Learning Styles, Grade Point Average  Abstrak.
