“…However, not all students have the same learning style, as confirmed by our findings exhibiting that the majority of graduate management students in class 2017-2018 at FEB-Zagreb are reflectors, although other dominant learning styles as well as more-modal learners are also present. It is therefore recommended to educators to use various strategies when they teach, in order to provide a learning context that will be the most beneficial one for diverse types of learners [8,13,67,71,92]. This is in line with our findings that active teaching methods are not favored by all Generation Y subgroups, which implies that educators have to tailor their instruction modes to match various learning styles, in other words, please both more active and more passive learners.…”

“…However, individual differences impact how students think and learn [13]. Research indicates that various individual characteristics can affect how one responds to various stimuli during the learning process, such as cognitive abilities, learning experience, gender, national culture, creativity, or learning style [13][14][15][16]. Understanding the appropriateness of different teaching methods, depending on students' personal characteristics, can help create a learning environment that leads to optimal use of student abilities and successful learning.…”

Active teaching methods are emphasized as an important part of an effective teaching process for Generation Y students. Still, some individual characteristics, such as creativity and learning style, need to be considered as they can affect outcomes of the learning process. Empirical research on the students’ preferences for various active and passive teaching methods was done on a sample of graduate students from the Faculty of Economics and Business in Zagreb. Perceptions of students regarding 52 individual teaching methods, and teaching methods bundles were investigated. Findings reveal that more creative students, as well as activists and pragmatists, and especially reflectors while learning, do exhibit the greater inclination towards active teaching methods.

“…The LSI is frequently used as a predictive tool (for example, [22]- [24]). Some researchers have suggested that learning styles are related to culture [25], [26], are discipline specific [27], [28] and differ with respect to various other attributes [29]. In a local context, [30] examine the use of LSI in relation to the Turkish culture.…”

Students use different styles or ways of receiving and managing information during learning. VARK learning style was developed based on the physiological aspect of students in the form of sensory modalities. This survey research was conducted at 30 elementary schools in Ambon City. The data of student learning was obtained by filling out the learning style questionnaire developed by Fleming. The results showed that 88.7% of students used a learning style (unimodal) and 11.3% of students combined more than one learning style (multimodal). For the unimodal learning styles, kinesthetic is most prevalent in male and female students with a percentage of 58.6%, whereas visuals are least found with a percentage of 6%. The study also revealed that multimodal learning styles were found at all bimodal, trimodal, and quadmodal combinations. The more blend of learning style, hence the frequency of determination of student learning style even less.. The combination of multiple unimodal learning styles with large numbers will result in multimodal learning styles with large numbers..
