Researcher got the data of  students’ learning styles by using questionnaire.  The statistical procedures employed in this study were one-way ANOVA. The results showed  that the largest percentage of learning styles that were used  by the students of biology education were auditory learning styles by 32% and the VAK (Visual Auditory Kinesthetic) learning style was the least used by education students by 2%. The analysis of the percentage of learning styles showed that 72% of students with auditory learning styles reached a satisfactory category until magna cum laude, but the percentage of students that used VAK (Visual Auditory Kinesthetic ) learning styles only reached satisfying GPA level. Statistical test results in this study demonstrated that the use of learning styles did not give significantly different effect on the students’ GPA.Keywords: Personal Learning Styles, Grade Point Average  Abstrak.

This study aimed to investigate Indonesian undergraduate non-English department students' visual learning style and their and teachers' perspectives on the uses of visual aids to promote learning. It was conducted to fill the gap in the literature on the scarcity of empirical studies in the field of learning style in the Indonesian context despite the potentials of instruction accommodating learners' learning styles. 127 students participated in the study through a survey and descriptive analysis, this study found that the participants, in general, had a high level of visual learning style, suggesting that class instruction should provide visual media and activities reported to be effective by the participants. Four participants with the highest visual learning style levels along with three teachers of General English classes were interviewed. Through Thematic Analysis of the interview results, the study found that both the students and teachers reported that teachers used certain visual media for certain purposes, for example, pictures for brainstorming activities, videos for providing input for further discussions, and writing on the boards to explain grammar.

This paper evaluates the values and the academic performance of BEED 3 students in the University of Eastern Philippines - System. This study was specifically concerned in determining the demographic profile of the respondents in terms of age, sex, educational attainment of parents, family income, nature of employment of parents, number of children and religious affiliation. Further, this was undertaken to find out the level of the academic performance of students and the values practiced by the BEED 3 teacher education students in the three campuses of the University of Eastern Philippines System and to determine the significant relationship between the values practices by the BEED students and their academic performance. With the purpose to achieve a rigorous finding this study utilized the descriptive-correlational research design. The respondent of this study comprised the 90 students specializing in Bachelor in Elementary Education who were third year college students in the three campuses of the University of Eastern Philippines – System, drawn through a representative sample technique. Particularly the statistical tool used in this study were frequency counts, percentages, weighted mean and multiple regression analysis. Majority of the respondents were within 19-22 years of age and mostly were female. Their parents were college level, with a monthly income ranging from P 25, 000 to P 29, 000, government employees, with 5 to 6 children and Roman Catholic by faith. The students were very good in their academic performance in English, Mathematics and Values Education. However, the BEED students practiced more values in personalism, close family ties, smooth interpersonal relation, hard work and industry, love for God and rationalism. Moreover, the academic performance was significantly related to values because of the F ratio of 1.619 which is greater than the significant F of 0.206. The coefficient determination explained the degree of influence of values to academic performance, it can be inferred that students having favorable values have greater academic performance.
