Research Problem. This article examines the practice and shows the theory and outcome of the study of whether there is a significant relationship of students' academic performance depending on their learning and teaching style, whether there is a significant difference in students' grades depending on their teachers' teaching styles, and whether there is a significant difference between students' academic performance. The purpose of the study focuses on gaining new knowledge about the relationship between the learning and teaching style of a university instructor and student's academic performance. The methodology, methods, and techniques of the study. This study used the Grasch-Richman Learning Styles Questionnaire, which includes tools to assess both learning styles and teaching styles. Our study was designed as a survey study (suitable for determining the existing situation without intervention) and used a quantitative research methodology. The study also used a teaching style inventory method. Results. The results of the study showed that student achievement scores did not change significantly based on their teaching styles; a significant difference was found between student achievement and the correspondence between faculty teaching style and student teaching style. Scientific novelty/practical significance. The new knowledge gained allows us to consider the implications of how emerging learning opportunities relate to student preparation in higher education and teacher level support. Conclusions and Recommendations. The results of our study confirm that learning, teaching styles, and student achievement are interrelated, but in examining these three variables, other variables such as the specific difficulties encountered in teaching a particular subject, the age group of students, and the context of the school must also be considered. There is no "bad" style of qualified teaching. It should not, however, interfere with a teacher's professional development. New knowledge about teaching/learning styles can be useful for beginning university teachers as well as for their students.

ABSTRACTThe aim was to establish the relationship between teaching styles and the diversity of learning styles; The Teaching Styles questionnaires were applied to teachers and the Honey-Alonso Questionnaire of learning styles to Master's students. We found predominance of functional teaching style and theoretical learning style. There is more synchrony between teachers and students, Open - Active, the pair was formed, with common features, correlation (ρ = 0.73) but if the pair have no common traits (ρ = -0.05). It is advisable for teachers to develop different teaching styles, enabling an inclusive education.RESUMENEl objetivo fue establecer la relación entre los estilos de enseñanza y la diversidad de los estilos de aprendizaje; se aplicaron los cuestionarios de Estilos de Enseñanza a los docentes y el Cuestionario Honey-Alonso de estilos de aprendizaje a los estudiantes de Maestría. Se encontró predominancia del estilo de enseñanza funcional y del estilo de aprendizaje teórico. Existe mayor sintonía, entre los docentes y estudiantes, Abierto – Activo, el par se formó, con rasgos comunes, correlación (ρ= 0,73) pero si el par no tienen rasgos comunes (ρ= -0,05). Es recomendable que los docentes desarrollen estilos de enseñanza diversos, posibilitando una educación inclusiva.

It is necessary to be aware of both teaching and learning styles and employing them in teaching and learning processes and as the two important stakeholders of this process, both learners and teachers are expected to benefit from each other at maximum level especially in terms of considering the needs of learners. This study aims to find out if there is a relationship between teaching styles of instructors working at Anadolu University School of Foreign Languages (AUSFL) and learning styles of students studying at English prep class. Data of the study were collected through Grasha-Reichmann Teaching and Learning Style Scales which Sarıtaş & Süral (2010)  adapted to Turkish. SPSS package program was used in the descriptive analyses of the study and Pearson’s moment correlation coefficients in correlation calculations. Significant relationships between formal authority teaching style and avoidant learning style, and between personal model teaching style and competitive learning style were found in the study. As for the other teaching and learning styles, although there wasn’t any significant relationship among each other, considering the average values, it can be said that there was a linear relationship among them which led to consider that a partial relationship existed.

This study examines if there is a match or mismatch between students’ learning styles and the teacher’s teaching styles in a classroom at Khalid Bin Alwlid School, Tabarjal, Saudi Arabia. The main objectives of this study are to determine dominant learning styles of the whole secondary grade students and the teacher’s teaching style. This study was carried out as a case study, and the data were analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively. Participants of this study were a class of 15 students and their English language teacher to the first secondary stage. The instruments used for collecting data were Reid’s Perceptual Learning Style Preference Questionnaire (1995), Teachers Teaching Style Preferences Questionnaire (Peacock 2001), and semi-structured interview. The findings of this study indicated that the majority of the students had multiple learning styles with at least auditory and group as their major learning style preferences, followed by kinesthetic, tactile, and visual as their minor learning style preferences. They showed negative preference towards individual style. The major learning style preferences of the English language teacher were visual and individual, followed by tactile and kinesthetic as his minor style preferences, while his negligible teaching style preferences were auditory and group. There was a mismatch between the teacher’s teaching style and the students’ learning style at Khalid Bin Alwlid School, Tabarjal, Saudi Arabia

This paper presents the results of an empirical study of the learning styles of a group of computing students and the teaching styles of their tutors at The Open Polytechnic of New Zealand. This study of learning styles is based on Kolb’s learning model and the Felder-Soloman learning style instrument. To identify how close students’ learning styles match the teaching styles of their tutors we have used two indicators: the self-perception of the students about the proximity of their learning styles and the teaching styles of their tutors and a Euclidean distance measure between students’ and tutors’ learning preferences. Using survey data and the learning styles instrument results we identify the differences between the learning and teaching styles. Both indicators show consistent and significant differences between the learning and teaching styles, in the way students and their tutors perceive and understand information. Finally we make recommendation to tutors on how to bridge this gap and address the learning styles of their students.

Practical Implications

Students do not have homogeneous learning patterns, their learning styles and preferences vary, their cognitive abilities vary; similarly instructors employ different teaching methods. This research explores the linkages between learning and teaching styles by using the Felder-Solomon Index of Learning Styles and CORD’s teaching style inventories to match and expand the learning and teaching styles interpretation from the learners’ perspective. This research provides practical implications for educators to think about how their students learn and what would be the best instructional methods for their learners.
