“…The theory of LS (NB: LSs as plural and LS as singular) is relatively recent, and became apparent in the seventies (Williamson & Watson, 2006). LS theory suggests that individuals present a preference for typical learning behaviours that help the individuals to get success in their learning process (Van Zwanenberg et al, 2000).…”

Traditionally, English classes tend to focus on grammar, vocabulary, reading, writing, speaking or listening skills. However, there is little space to talk about the students' preferred learning styles. This paper focuses on learners' learning styles favourites and their possible effect on the teaching and learning as well as design and selection of the text books for adults. A group of about 45 adult students, taking a course called 'English Proficiency Course' at the Language Centre/ Salahaddin University, participated in this study. The students, later, might need English language certificate for their educational studies such as MA, MSc, PhD in various areas. The participants were asked to select the styles from the VARK questionnaire. Then the data was collected before it is been analysed. The outcomes of which were analysed into some of the major Learning Styles such as 'visual, audio, read/write and kneithetic/tactile' preferences. The results indicated that the most dominant style is Aural (14.72%) and Visual (13.71%), followed by Read/Write (13.24%). The least preferred style by adults was Kinesthetic which is (10.97%) only. Based on the available research results, it is proposed that the teaching styles need to be matched to students' learning style and that the materials which are taught. Moreover, curriculum designers should design teaching books that suits students' learning preferences. The pedagogical implications of these findings are discussed, and the suggestions for future research.

“…Educational researchers have as it would help them in formulating the appropriate learning strategies for enhancing their learning 7 . To the best of our knowledge, none of the studies have correlated the preferences of the instructional methods with the learning styles of the medical students 8 .The quality of medical education depends upon various factors like curriculum, college administration, infrastructure, patient exposure, faculty expertise in the subject and their knowledge, exposure and training in teaching-learning methodology. Moreover medical education in the past decade is witnessing a paradigm shifted from teacher centric to student centered mode.…”

bjective: To assess the preferred teaching strategies for undergraduate medical students of clinical sciences. Study Design and Setting: -This cross-sectional study was conducted among the 4th and 5thyear students of clinical sciences at Al-Tibri Medical College and Hospital Isra University. Karachi campus. Methodology: All medical students of 4th and 5th year were enrolled and included for this study from May 2018 to June 2018 and absentees were excluded. A questionnaire was given to students in which they opted for the best teaching aid and strategy. Data was collected and analysed by principle Investigator. Demographic variables included were gender and year of M.B.B.S. Descriptive statistics was carried out via frequency and percentages. Results: A total of 166 Students, 82 from 4th year and 84 from 5th year were reviewed. Among 4th year students; preference in academic teaching aids were white boards and multimedia and were equally preferred and for clinical teaching the most preferred aid was Out Patient Department (OPD)/clinical rotation. Among 5th year medical students’ multimedia was most preferred for academic teaching and for clinical teaching the most preferred teaching aid was clinical based learning, i.e. 32 (38.1%). Conclusion: White board, multimedia, were the most preferred teaching methods for academic teaching and bed side teaching and clinical based learning were highly preferred teaching method for clinical teaching among both cohorts of 4th and 5th year medical students. Therefore, approaches for improvement of the preferred teaching methods and establishing better facilities for students can be improve both knowledge and skills among clinical students

“…Ahora bien no es suficiente que los docentes sean expertos en las materias impartidas, sino que además se requiere que tengan conocimiento de las preferencias de los estilos de aprendizaje de los estudiantes, ya que les permite planificar adecuadamente sus actividades docentes, proponer acciones remediales oportunas en aspectos que se diagnostiquen como deficientes (Reinicke et al, 2008), diseñar programas de intervención orientados a potenciar sus estilos de acuerdo con las circunstancias, contextos y situaciones de aprendizaje que experimentan los estudiantes (Carvajal, Trejos & Milena, 2007), y adicionalmente ayudan a crear una atmosfera efectiva para la trasformación del aprendizaje (Williamson & Watson, 2006). Logrando de esta forma mayor efectividad en la asimilación de conocimientos por parte del estudiante (Carvajal, Trejos & Milena, 2007;Gallego, 2007).…”

Resumen La presente investigación tuvo como propósito identificar los estilos de aprendizaje preferentes en estudiantes de las licenciaturas de Ingeniería en Computación (ICO) e Informática Administrativa (LIA) de una Universidad Pública del Estado de México, para lo cual se aplicó el cuestionario CHAEA de Honey-Alonso a 308 estudiantes (150 mujeres y 158 hombres). Los resultados mostraron que los estudiantes de ICO tienen una preferencia alta en los estilos pragmático y activo por sobre teórico y reflexivo, mientras que en los estudiantes de LIA el aprendizaje se favorece si la enseñanza se orienta hacia una participación práctica.LEARNING STYLES AMONG COLLEGE STUDENTS IN COMPUTER ENGINEERING AND ADMINISTRATIVE INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY Abstract This research aimed to identify preferred learning styles in student’s degrees in Computer Engineering (ICO) and Administrative Information Technology (LIA) of a Public University of Mexico State, for which the questionnaire was applied CHAE Honey- Alonso to 308 students (150 women and 158 men). The results showed that ICO student’s have a preference high styles pragmatic and active on theoretical and reflective, while the LIA student’s learning is enhanced if the teaching is geared towards practice participation.
