Produktbeschreibung

Each individual adopts a unique way to acquire knowledge and this way of obtaining knowledge is known as his/her style of learning. These learning styles of the students influence their learning outcomes. The main objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between learning styles of students and their academic achievement at university level. We found a significant positive relationship between all learning styles adopted by the students and their academic achievement except the diverging learning style. Moreover, the study discovered that students practiced multiple learning styles to accomplish their academic tasks. However, assimilating was the most practiced learning style. In addition, the students with dominated converging and assimilating learning styles performed better in terms of academic achievement. The study findings also indicated university wise differences in learning styles. Moreover, Gender was found a significant factor in explaining academic performance of the students and the sampled female students performed significantly better in terms of academic achievement as compare to their male counterparts.
