Abstract

Research on preferential learning styles has long been carried out since 1981. Several studies reveal that learning styles can affect one's learning outcomes. However, there are several studies which reveal that learning styles do not affect one's learning outcomes. This difference is interesting to discuss more deeply. This article will discuss the various types of college student learning styles and the results of previous studies on the influence of learning styles on student learning outcomes.

While the others define 4 kinds of learning styles, namely Activists, Reflective, Theoretical, and Pragmatic.
