“…Furthermore, there was no association between learning styles and academic performance among undergraduate healthcare students. Another relevant factor are due to students' lack of English competency, and therefore, the students prefer to learn on their methods [16]. A similar finding can be found on a conducted survey in medical school in Pakistan where the undergraduate students in various medical colleges in Pakistan were not taught in their learning preferences styles [17].…”

<span>This study aimed to evaluate the learning styles among healthcare students and to study the relationship with their academic achievement. This cross-sectional study was conducted among 137 healthcare students from six different courses. Data was collected using a self-administered questionnaire and developed based on the original visual, aural/auditory, read/write, and kinesthetic (VARK) assessment. The questionnaire was divided into two sections: the demographic status and the learning style perspective. A total of 119 respondents (86.8%) has chosen unimodal as their learning styles, while the rest of the 18 respondents (13.2%) choose multimodal as their preferred learning method. Among the unimodal learning styles, visual (32%) and reading (26%) were most preferred among respondents. The auditory and kinesthetic methods of learning were less and accounted for 10% to 20%. Notably, in multimodal learning styles preferences, 4% of students prefer a combination learning style of visual and kinesthetic methods. There was no significant relationship between learning styles and academic achievement using Pearson’s Chi-square test (p>0.05). Hence, both were independent of one another. Hence, some of the dominant learning styles needed to be considered based on their future profession.</span>

“…However, this is contrasting with the findings of Jiraporncharoen et al (2015) wherein there is no association between academic achievement and visual, verbal, sensing and intuitive learning styles. Karalliyadda (2017) presented no significant association with semestral grades and preferred learning styles. The One-way ANOVA test also resulted to no association with academic achievement and learning concentration i.e.…”

“…There are learners who prefer to combine visual learning style. They find it convenient and easy to acquire concepts when they combine this style with other modalities such as the findings of Karalliyadda (2017) where 50% or half of the respondents prefer to combine Visual with Reading and Kinesthetic modes.…”

The study was undertaken to determine any significant difference in learning styles and academic performance. Specifically, it answered the following questions: 1.) What is the learning style of the respondents? 2.) What is the level of academic performance of Grade 11 HUMSS (Humanities and Social Sciences) Students? 3.) Is there a relationship between learning styles and academic performance of the respondents? 4.) Is there a significant difference between learning styles and academic performance when respondents are grouped according to profile? 5.) On the basis of findings, what instructional development plan can be designed? The researcher was able to utilized quantitative descriptive design to answer the research questions of the study. Moreover, this study also utilized another type of research design, the correlational study. It is used to find out the association between two or more variables. The study revealed that the respondents of the study have moderately applied visual, auditory and kinesthetic learning. However, the highest and lowest grade among respondents is 98 and 82, respectively which has a verbal description of Outstanding and Average, respectively. The mean of the academic performance of the respondents is 91.00 with a standard deviation of 2.900 and verbal description of Very Good. The results of Pearson r correlation coefficient between the learning style and the academic performance revealed that the learning styles of the respondents in terms of visual learning with r=-0.341 has moderate and positive correlation with the academic performance of the students p-value of 0.031** with an assumed alpha level of significance at 0.05. The findings revealed that the significant difference does exist in the learning style in terms of kinesthetic learning (t=2.102) with p values lesser than =0.05 level of significance when the data is analyzed according to the respondent's gender. Moreover, the result of t-test uncorrelated in the learning style when the data is analyzed according to the ethnicity of the respondents. As disclosed in the findings, the significant difference does exist in the learning style in terms of visual learning (t=2.814) with p values lesser than =0.05 level of significance.The data imply that the socio-economic status has no significant bearing on the learning style of the respondents. An instructional development was proposed.
