“…Despite the fact that pre-university students from science program have always gained better achievement compared to students from engineering program, the original research showed that mathematical capability of the students was not influenced by the program they enrol in a local public university. Thus, the result showed that there was no significant findings on the attributes associated to academic achievement [10].…”

“…The original research was more focused on the students' attitude towards mathematics final exam achievement for pre-university students. ANOVA test was conducted and the result showed there was no statistical difference between attitude and mathematics achievement (F=074, p-value = 0.658) of the students [10]. Figure 1 shows the distribution of domain in learning style preferences.…”

“…Moreover, the mixed results found in literature have motivated this study to be conducted. In addition, this study is an extension of the original research [10] that examined pre-university student's attitude towards mathematics achievement. Despite the fact that pre-university students from science program have always gained better achievement compared to students from engineering program, the original research showed that mathematical capability of the students was not influenced by the program they enrol in a local public university.…”

Learning styles studies have been discussed widely in academic field. It can be considered as a factor that contributes to the achievement of the students in their learning because everyone has a unique learning style when learning. In this paper, we aimed to examine the association of learning styles and attitude towards academic achievement. By identifying the student's learning styles preference, it will offer benefits to the student and instructor by improving learning achievement. Sample data were collected among 328 pre-university science and engineering students using cross-sectional survey. Attitudes Towards Mathematics Inventory (ATMI) and Index of Learning Style© (ILS) were used as the instruments to collect data from the respondents. Data were analysed using Stata statistical tool to examine the result. Result showed that there was no association of learning styles and attitude towards academic achievement in this study.
