Learning style has been considered as one of determining factors for learning processes. This study aimed at observing the correlation between students’ learning style and performance of Nigerian students in biology. The sample of this study consisted of 100 students which were randomly selected from the secondary schools in Ifelodun LGA, Kwara State, Nigeria. The two validated instrument used for data collection were Grasha & Reichmann’s Student Learning Scale and VAK/VARK Learning Style. The data gained were analyzed using percentage, Pearson correlation, and Chi-Square test. The study findings indicated that: (i) there was a negative correlation between students’ academic performance and visual (-0.061) and kinesthetic learning style (-0.50), as well as positive correlation between the performance and auditory learning style (0.108). (ii) There were no significant differences between the study of learning styles, either visual (t(99) = 1.60, p = 0.11), auditory (t(99) = 1.33, p = 0.18), or kinesthetic (t(99) = 0.59, p = 0.55), of male and female biology students’ performance. Thus, it is suggested that teachers choose the most proper learning methods which accommodate the students’ need based on their learning styles.

This paper gives a brief over view of UiTM Penang diploma students preferences of learning styles specifically among those who are undertaking the English language courses. The five types of learning styles - auditory, visual, tactile. group, and individual are examined with the particular objectives of whether gender andthe types of programs taken affect the learning styles of the students. The study also emphasize on the students' results of SPM and UiTM English courses ': whether or not their preferences were affected by their learning styles. Thus, the Chi-square test and reliability test were used to measure the significance and the consistent reliability. The findings Shows that auditory, tactile, and group learning styles were predominantly popular among the students of different gender; programs of study and those who had obtained different grades of their SPM and UiTM examination results. The writers hope that the findings of this study may provide new directions in the teaching of English courses in UiTM.

Every student has a different way of understanding and obtaning information. These differences can be influenced by learning styles. The calculation results based on the Grade Point Avarage (GPA) of the third-grade DIV Midwifery students showed that the GPA in each semester fluctuate, and the result of interviews most students used the method of learning with the rote system. This study was intended to know the correlation between learning styles with the GPA of the students. This study used an analytical survey method with a cross-sectional approach a stratified random sampling technique with 42 respondents, data analysis were done in univariate and bivariate using chi-square test. The results of the statistical test shows  that the correlation between learning styles with the GPA was p-value 0,459. The most used learning style by respondents was auditory. The GPA category most owned by respondents was GPA ranges between 2,75 – 3,50 which was equal to 90,5%. The conclusion is that there was no correlation between of learning styles with GPA.

<span>This study aimed to evaluate the learning styles among healthcare students and to study the relationship with their academic achievement. This cross-sectional study was conducted among 137 healthcare students from six different courses. Data was collected using a self-administered questionnaire and developed based on the original visual, aural/auditory, read/write, and kinesthetic (VARK) assessment. The questionnaire was divided into two sections: the demographic status and the learning style perspective. A total of 119 respondents (86.8%) has chosen unimodal as their learning styles, while the rest of the 18 respondents (13.2%) choose multimodal as their preferred learning method. Among the unimodal learning styles, visual (32%) and reading (26%) were most preferred among respondents. The auditory and kinesthetic methods of learning were less and accounted for 10% to 20%. Notably, in multimodal learning styles preferences, 4% of students prefer a combination learning style of visual and kinesthetic methods. There was no significant relationship between learning styles and academic achievement using Pearson’s Chi-square test (p&gt;0.05). Hence, both were independent of one another. Hence, some of the dominant learning styles needed to be considered based on their future profession.</span>

<p><strong>Background:</strong> Learning styles refer to the ability of learner to perceive and process information in learning situations. The ability to understand students’ learning styles can increase the educational outcomes. VAK (Visual, auditory, kinesthetic) learning style is one of the learning style in which students use three of sensory perception to receive information. Teachers can incorporate these learning styles in their classroom activities so that students are competent to be successful in their courses. The purpose of this study is to assess Visual, Auditory, and Kinesthetic learning style among undergraduate nursing students.</p><p><strong>Methods:</strong> A descriptive study was carried out; the study was conducted during the period of 3rd. November, 2013-15, March, 2014, in two Nursing Colleges at Universities of Mosul and Kirkuk. A stratified random sampling was used for data collection. The target population was an undergraduate nursing students (210) students (60 male and 150 female). Statistical Package for the Social Science (SPSS), Chi-square, Frequencies and Percentage was used for data analysis.</p><p><strong>The results:</strong> the findings reveal that Visual, Auditory, and Kinesthetic learning style of the study sample was (40.0%), (29.5%), and 30.5% respectively. Females preferred auditory learning style (30.3%) more than males (27.3%), while males preferred kinesthetic learning style (32.3%) more than females (29.8%).</p><p><strong>Recommendation:</strong> The researcher recommended that nurse educators should aware of learning styles of the students and provide teaching style to be matched with their learning style.</p>

Problem Solving Task

A computerized problem-solving task was employed to study the relationships among problem-solving behaviors and learning styles. College students made choices to find their way home in a simulated “lost in the woods” task and wrote their. reasons at each choice point. Time to read relevant information and time to make decisions were measured by the computer clock. These variables were correlated with learning style variables from Schmeck's (1977) questionnaire. The findings indicated that subjects who perceived themselves as competent learners take more time on the problem-solving task, use more information and make fewer wrong choices.
