The term learning style refers to the concept of individual differences in which teaching or learning mode is most effective for them. Proponents of learning style assessment believe that optimal teaching requires diagnosing individual learning styles and adjusting teaching accordingly. The assessment of learning styles usually requires people to assess what kind of information presentation they like and/or the mental activities they find most attractive or suitable, although the assessment tools are very diverse, in this article we will propose a pedagogical scenarios 'design adapted to different learning style.

Research has found that students learn better when they rely on the instructional strategy best suited to their own particular learning style (Fitzsimmons, 1996). While concrete learners depend on the text-based workbook for reinforcement, abstract learners find visual media more to their liking. Microsoft Power Point creates presentations suitable for the classroom by offering a multimedia environment for concepts and ideas important for understanding. It provides a suite of tools to create powerful slide shows incorporating bulleted lists and numbered text; multimedia clip art, pictures, sounds, and movies; links to teacher-validated web sites, programs, and documents; colorful charts and graphs; and, a choice of output options tailored to individual learning styles. Power Point offers an extensive fare of commands, options, and menus. With the advanced features of auto content wizard, hyperlinks, and printing alternatives, it also provides an array of all the tools necessary to build truly exciting and interactive instructional materials.

The Learning Styles Profiler (LSP; Jackson, 2002 ) is a modern measure of individual differences in learning style. The LSP is based on a neuropsychological model of learning, modeled on principles of approach and avoidance, and argues for the division of personality into temperament and character. There has been little research into the psychometric structure and predictive validity of this instrument. In Study 1, the factor structure of the LSP is examined, and in Study 2 the criterion-related validity of the LSP is assessed. Results support the proposed factor structure of the LSP and show that 3 of the 4 LSP scales are significant predictors of Job Performance.

This article analyses the different modalities of applying the theory of learning styles in the teaching-learning-assessment process.On the assumption that the mode of receiving information influences how we learn, the researchers Richard Bandler and John Grinder created the Neuro linguistic programming theory. Learning that considers the neuro-linguistic paradigm is an inclusive learning type, which harmonizes the individual needs of the learner with concrete ways to meet those needs. This type of differentiated training represents a tool which allows teachers to achieve the best possible correspondence between their teaching strategies and individual learning styles.To support our arguments, we created an example of teaching activities using the Neuro linguistic paradigm in mathematics lessons. This example illustrates how each student can be directed in the process of solving tasks useful in the issue demonstration, tasks which are appropriate to his learning style.

Abstrak Belajar dapat diartikan sebagai proses dari suatu individu yang mengalami perubahan perilakunya akibat bertambahnya pengalaman. Kemampuan seseorang dalam memahami dan menyerap informasi ketika proses belajar pasti berbeda tingkat waktunya, ada yang cepat, sedang maupun lambat. Perbedaan kecepatan ini dipengaruhi beberapa faktor, salah satu faktornya adalah cara atau gaya belajar dari individu tersebut. Gaya belajar memiliki 3 jenis yaitu visual, audio dan kinestetik, pelajar dapat mengetahui gaya belajar yang sesuai dengan cara melakukan tes dengan menjawab pertanyaan-pertanyaan yang berkaitan dengan cara belajar individu. Tujuan penelitian ini yaitu membuat aplikasi identifikasi gaya belajar berbasis web menggunakan metode incremental. Diharapkan dengan adanya penelitian ini dapat memberikan kontribusi kepada pelajar agar menemukan gaya belajarnya dan berdampak pada pemahaman menyerap informasi ketika proses belajar lebih cepat. Kata kunci : gaya belajar, visual, audio, kinestetik, metode incremental Abstract Learning can be interpreted as the process of an individual who experiences changes in behavior due to increased experience. The ability of a person to understand and absorb information when the learning process must be different levels of time, some are fast, medium or slow. This speed difference is influenced by several factors, one of the factors is the way or learning style of the individual. Learning styles have 3 types, namely visual, audio and kinesthetic, students can find out the appropriate learning style by doing tests by answering questions related to individual learning methods. The purpose of this study is to create a web-based learning style identification application using incremental methods. It is expected that this research can contribute to students to find their learning styles and have an impact on understanding absorbing information when the learning process is faster. Keywords : learning style, visual, audio, kinesthetic, incremental methods

Students’ learning is highly subjective owing to their individual differences, environment and background which decide their learning styles. The purpose of this study was to explore learning styles of university students owing to generic role in their learning. There is need to assess whether students of different universities with different backgrounds but with same discipline prefer same or different learning styles. Four general universities were selected; two from each, public sector and privatesector.314 students were involved in the study from selected universities. A questionnaire was developed in the light of literature to explore learning styles of students mainly based on Grasha Reichmann Learning Style Survey (1974). Survey research design was used to collect data. The number of students against every learning style was calculated through statistical distribution. To infer the significance of results, t-test and ANOVA were applied. The findings showed that learning styles were closely linked gender wise. Further, there was no vast difference in learning styles of the students in respect of public and private sector universities. Subject based results are generally aligned but there are variations in couple of subjects like mass communication. The study concludes that students use variety of learning styles in different situations. If teacher used teaching style compatible to preferred students learning style then they would take more interest in the lesson and learn better.

Vocabulary learning is an on-going and life-long process, which is greatly influenced by individual differences. It has been noted that there is inefficient self-directed FL vocabulary learning of college students in mainland China and non-individualized learning may be one of the major reasons. As one of the most significant individual differences, a student’s learning style is supposed to largely determine their selection of learning strategies and have an effect on learning outcomes. This paper focuses on categorizing diversified vocabulary learning tasks which activate various vocabulary learning strategies, and integrating them into a learning system along particular learning paths to cater for different learning styles. The system is also tested in an empirical study for the purpose of checking the effects of these learning paths.

The paper discusses the opportunities to improve the personalization of the education through the use of ICT. One approach to achieve this by providing appropriate learning materials, depending on the individual learning of each student is suggested. Two different theories for determining the individual learning styles are presented and the appropriate ICT educational technologies for each style are defined. Also an experiment with the 10th grade students at Georgi Karavelov Secondary School in Shivachevo, Sliven for defining their individual learning style was provided and the results are analyzed. In addition an investigation of the possibility to apply ICT educational technologies among the students from 9 to 12 grades in Information Technology at Georgi Karavelov Secondary School in Shivachevo is discussed.

Every human being was created by the Creator with all the uniqueness and characteristics of each. This arises as individual differences (individual differences). Individual differences are differences in abilities and characteristics (cognitive, personality, physical skills, and so on) between students at a certain age level and in each particular group. Through educational practices and activities, we can accommodate the individual differences of students. Likewise, the learning styles of each other are also different. There are visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learning styles. It is important to recognize the learning styles of students so that teachers can vary their teaching styles, learning methods that are suitable to be applied in the learning process. As a technique, we must be able to choose various ways that can accommodate these differences personally and optimize the improvement and interpersonal skills of each student in the long term, especially when viewed from the learning style so that it can be carried out optimally. Individual differences that need to be considered in the implementation of classroom teaching are factors related to the readiness of children to receive teaching because these differences will determine the education system as a whole. Factors that influence individual differences are self-concept (self-concept), locus of control, student anxiety, learning motivation.

Background: Several studies reported that every individual learner has its own different style of learning. All learners have their own preferences for the ways in which they receive information for studying.Aims and Objective: In order to determine whether a particular teaching method provided by each instructor might enhance learner of anti-aging and regenerative medicine satisfaction with the learning process, a well-known learning preferences survey which are linked to sensory modalities of learners was distributed to anti-aging and regenerative science students at School of Anti-Aging and Regenerative Medicine, Mae Fah Luang University, Bangkok, Thailand.Materials and Methods: The applied preferred learning style survey named VARK was applied to identify student’s preferences for particular learning modes of information presentation. This study thus aimed to determine the preferred learning style and measure the distribution of learning preference mean scores of the anti-aging and regenerative science learners using 53 participants. The VARK questionnaire divided all learners into five groups, i.e., visual, aural, read/write, kinesthetic, and multimodal learners, respectively.Results: We found that the unimodality preference was 35.10% while the multimodality was 64.9%. Among the learners who preferred only one mode of information presentation, there were 8.25% of visual, 34.26% of aural, 22.44 % of read/write learners, and 35.05% of kinesthetic, respectively. Anti-aging and regenerative science learners preferred kinesthetic learning at a higher percentage than other modes. However, some learners preferred multiple modes including 32.45% of bimodal, 23.84% of trimodal, and 8.61% of quadmodal, respectively. Knowing the anti-aging and regenerative science learners preferred learning modes can help to provide instruction tailored to the learner’s individual preferences, to overcome the predisposition to treat all anti-aging and regenerative science learners in a similar way, to motivate instructors to move from their preferred mode(s) to using others, and to develop appropriate learning approaches.Conclusion: The result of this study would explore opportunities for anti-aging and regenerative science instructors to make the educational experience more productive.Asian Journal of Medical Sciences Vol.9(6) 2018 14-19
