Style Preferences

This study aims to use group technology to classify students at the classroom level into clusters according to their learning style preferences. Group technology is used, due to the realization that many problems are similar, and that by grouping similar problems, single solutions can be found for a set of problems. The Felder and Silverman style, and the index learning style (ILS) are used to find student learning style preferences; students are grouped into clusters based on the similarities of their preferences, by using multivariate statistical analysis. Based on the developed groups, instructors can use the proper teaching style to teach their students. The formation of clusters based on the statistical analyses of two sets of data collected from students of two classes at the same level, belonging to same engineering department indicates that each class has different learning style preferences. This is an eye-opener to educators, in that different teaching styles can be used for their students, based on the students’ learning styles, even though the students seem to have a common interest.

English Students

To have insight of the students learning style is vital since it can facilitate teacher to teach and decide what methods as well as activities are appropriate for the students, for instance,  in learning English. For the students in the future, it is hoped that they can recognize their own learning style preferences in order to be able to learn successfuly, because the students themselves may have no ideas of learning styles they prefer. They just imitate what their friends do, and the teacher does not understand what the students are like and what they prefer in learning. As the consequence, it will not result in any good effect for the improvement for their successful teaching and learning. Hence, both teacher and students, particularly the teachers need to know the students’ characteristics and their learning style preferances. This study adapted the Style Analysis Survey (SAS) model proposed by Oxford (1995) concerning the the student learning style preferences. The samples of this quantitative study involved 60 students who consisted of 30 of non-English and 30 English students at UNPAM. The data taken from quetionnaire were analyzed by using SPSS into descriptive statistic. It was found that the student learning style preferences of both non-English and English students mostly fell on the Social and affective. Meanwhile, for the individual learning style preferences of each group of students are  Physiological and Cognitive executive (II) in which non-English students will remember things better if they discuss them, and English students prefer realism instead of new, unstested ideas.

The Impact

This active learning exercise is designed to deconstruct the impact of social determinants through the assumption of randomly selected personas. As an active learning exercise, it provides opportunities for discussion, problem solving, writing, and synthesis, while incorporating multiple learning style preferences. Part 1 involves assessing the individual social determinants at work. Part 2 involves exploring ways said determinants can enhance community health through collaboration. Assumption of personas unlike one’s own facilitates an open discussion of social position and ranges of factors influential to health without potentially evoking a sense of defensiveness associated with personal privilege (or the lack thereof).

The Impact

This article focuses on the learning style preferences of achieving and underachieving gifted middle school students. Learning style was determined through administration of the Learning Style Inventory (LSI). Both groups of participants revealed several learning style preferences that were quite similar. However, examination of LSI profiles revealed some differences between achievers and underachievers in preferences for quiet or sound, flexibility or structure in assignments, and level of need for mobility. Many low achievers showed a strong need for tactile and kinesthetic modalities; intake of food, drinks, or both; sound in the learning environment; informal seating design; and dim lighting. The low achievers did not perceive themselves to be persistent, and scores revealed that they needed structure in assignments. Persistence seemed to be a key to success for the achieving learners in this study since they were able to maintain high academic performance in all content areas. Over half of the low achievers, on the other hand, did not judge themselves to be successful at task completion.

The Impact

This research argues that providing the students with the same material in different methods that correspond to their skills would guarantee their satisfaction as well as their level of success. This research focuses on the vital exploration of the suitable student learning style with respect to the student skills, the type of material and the impact of intelligent techniques. The research scope considers that students' skills are normally varied among individuals, this variation should be considered in the learning process. The proposed approach is based on the successful migration of different data across the components and a formal description of this data was presented to clarify the homogenous transformation according to the applied steps. The proposed framework has been applied on a set of students and the results revealed to a raise in the students' performance represented in their grades and their satisfaction level.
