Gaya belajar merupakan perilaku yang sengaja diperbuat oleh siswa berupa perilaku kognitif, afektif dan psikologikal untuk memperoleh perubahan dalam belajar. Terdapat Informasi mengenai gaya belajar siswa dapat membantu guru dalam menentukan strategi pembelajaran yang akan digunakan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui bagaimana gaya belajar siswa-siswa Sekolah Menengah  di Bandung.  Metode penelitian ini adalah penelitian deskriptif, dan sampel pada penelitian ini adalah 275 siswa dari beberapa sekolah menengah di Bandung. Sedangkan instrumen pengukuran gaya belajar yang digunakan adalah “Perceptual Learning Style Preference Questionnaire” (PLSPQ) yang dibuat oleh Reid (1987) yang menyatakan terdapat enam gaya belajar (Visual, taktil, auditory, kelompok atau grup, kinestetik, individual), dan diterjemahkan ke dalam bahasa Indonesia. Hasil penelitian  menunjukkan bahwa: (1) Terdapat 20,73 persen siswa yang memiliki hanya satu gaya belajar yang dominan atau bersifat “major”, (2) Terdapat 55,27  persen  siswa yang memiliki lebih dari satu gaya belajar dominan, (3) Terdapat 24 persen siswa yang tidak memiliki satupun gaya belajar yang dominan. Hasil lainnya adalah: Mayoritas siswa sekolah menengah memiliki gaya belajar kinestetik (belajar melalui pengalaman tubuhnya secara menyeluruh) dan atau gaya belajar kelompok  (belajar bersama teman dalam grup) sebagai gaya belajar yang dominan

Exploring perceptual learning style preferences and their relationships with academic achievement is important to success in teaching and learning language. The aim of this study, therefore, was to investigate the perceptual learning style preferences of Libyan EFL University students majoring in English at Omar Almukhtar University and to check whether there is a significant relationship between students’ perceptual learning style preferences and their academic achievement. A total of 75 fourth year English major students were participated in this study. A self-reporting learning style questionnaire developed by Kinsella (1994) was used to collect data and final semester examination scores were used to determine the average academic achievement for each participant. The findings showed that tactile style was the most dominant learning style among the students followed by auditory style while kinesthetic style was the least favoured learning style. The findings also revealed that there was a significant relationship between students’ learning style preferences and their academic achievement; the strongest correlation (r=0.30, P<.01) was found between the auditory learning style and academic achievement. The findings are discussed in this study with implication for university instructors to identify their students’ perceptual learning style and match them with their teaching style to influence students’ achievement, and deliver their lectures by using different approaches and techniques to ensure that the learning process is effective and efficient for a great number of their students. This study contributed to the EFL field in Libya by providing clear information on students’ learning style preferences and their correlation with academic achievement.

Learning Style Preference

Identifying students’ learning styles is advantageous for both teachers and students. Awareness of students’ learning styles allows teachers to plan lessons to reach each student in the classroom by providing proper activities and classroom materials that suit every individual. Furthermore, students can raise their own awareness of the learning process and maximize their opportunities to learn by knowing their preferred learning styles. Using the Perceptual Learning Style Preference Questionnaire, this study aims to investigate Saudi EFL students’ preferred learning styles and explore whether these learning styles are affected by students’ academic majors. The participants were 120 Saudi students at a private college in four different majors. The results show that the kinaesthetic learning style is the most commonly preferred learning style among students of all majors. Based on the findings, pedagogical implications and directions for further research are highlighted.

36 chronically mentally ill adults were administered the perceptual learning style items (auditory, visual, kinesthetic) from the Productivity Environmental Preference Survey. A retest was given 6 months later. Analysis showed that, although the instrument can be reliably scored, content and time sampling error more than account for the variance in these subtests. Self-reported perceptual learning style appears to be a transient phenomenon of limited practical utility in this population.

Learning style matching is a neglected factor that may affect the complex process of second language (L2) incidental vocabulary acquisition through reading. The purpose of the current study is to investigate whether there is any difference in L2 incidental vocabulary acquisition and retention through reading when learners’ perceptual learning style is matched to their input mode, mismatched to their input mode, or mixed. The participants were 108 Iranian English as a foreign language (EFL) learners at pre-intermediate levels of English proficiency. Based on their perceptual learning style preferences (visual, auditory, kinaesthetic/tactile, mixed), they were divided into a reading group (consisting of three subgroups: Matched, Mismatched, Mixed) and a control group. The reading group read a graded reader containing 16 target words and then completed immediate and delayed (3 weeks later) vocabulary post-tests. The results revealed no significant differences between the three reading subgroups in terms of incidental vocabulary acquisition and retention. The findings suggest that perceptual learning style matching has no benefits for incidental word learning through reading.

Perceptual Learning Styles

There are numerous factors, which reasonably affect teachers&rsquo; instructions. One of these factors is being aware of the learners&rsquo; learning styles. Shea&rsquo;s work (1983) contributed that there is a strong correlation between learning styles and reading comprehensions. The present study investigated the correlation between Perceptual learning styles and scanning information in text scores. To achieve this, researcher randomly selected 382 undergraduates (male and female) engineering students of the Public sector Engineering University. Learning style survey questionnaire by Andrew D. Cohen, Rebecca L. Oxford, and Julie C. Chi (2001) was employed to examine the Perceptual learning style patterns and learning styles with respect to gender. In addition to this, reading test was conducted based on scanning skill. Pearson product-moment correlation test was applied to examine the correlation between the variables. It was found that a correlation exists between learning styles of engineering students and scanning information in the text. In addition to this, gender does play role in learning style preferences. This result would create awareness among all instructors or teachers the importance of learners&rsquo; unique learning style preferences that consequently affect teaching methodologies in all educational settings.
