Learning styles are the basis on how students learn. There are different learning styles. Three of the most popular ones are visual, auditory, and kinesthetic in which students use to absorb information. On one hand, students’ motivation is an internal drive of the students to do a task on their own will. The study used a univariate likert scale questionnaire among Senior High School Students in Jagobiao National High School to 244 individuals. Questionnaires were sent directly to targeted segment. Firstly, the respondents reported that they absorb information best using hearing aspects known as auditory learners. Secondly, they absorb information by visualizing or the visual learners. Lastly, the respondents describe that they learn through actions or the kinesthetic learners. The finding of the study is not statistically significant between students’ learning styles and self-motivation because the ANOVA presented that the result is greater than the alpha in which the decision is failed to reject and there is no significant association between the two variables students’ learning styles and self-motivation. Majority of the students preferred to listen while learning. It was seen that it is the best way that the students absorb information effectively. It is necessary that the teachers should identify the students learning strategies in order to meet their teaching strategies. The study accentuates that students’ self-motivation does not affect the students’ learning styles.

This study was inspired by previous studies of how students’ learning influences their learning belief and in turn, their strategies. Unfortunately, few studies concern learners’ conceptions of learning, in particular in learning English; and paid less attention to senior high school students level. With the intention to identify Islamic senior high school. Interview and both close and open questionnaires were used to collect relevant data. To identify students’ conception, Purdie and Hattie’s COLI items were used; and Oxford’s SILL to identify learning strategies. Data collected from close questionnaire were analyzed by quantifying the frequency and the average of particular issues, which include the preference of students' learning conception and learning strategies. Meanwhile, data from interview and open questionnaire were analyzed using Miles and Hubberman’s (1994) framework of qualitative data analyses. Overall, data analyses results showed that, in terms of their conceptions, most students conceived learning as a duty—in order to able to make their parents happy, to serve the community with their knowledge, and most of all, as a way to show their devotion to Allah the all mighty. In addition, most students favored metacognitive learning strategies in learning English. This study came to the conclusion that although the tendency of students’ conception of learning English was at the surface level of learning, most of the students used relatively complex and high-level strategies when it came to their English learning process as they used metacognitive strategies.
