INTRODUCTION

Background of the Study

In terms of academics, students has their own different learning styles that help
them cope up with their studies. According to Erick (2018), there are 4 types of learning
styles: 1.) Visual, 2.) Auditory, 3.) Kinesthetic, and 4.) Reading/Writing. Each students poses
one of these types or more as their preference when it comes to studying. In a research
conducted by Truong (2016) about integration of learning styles to e-learning, it was said
that learning styles are important and by understanding them teachers could improve the
students' learning process. Purnawati, Fauzan and Rasidin (2019) made a mathematics
learning tool with the application of learning styles and ur have been proven that it is
effective, practical and valid. The students' grades increases to 80.24% and it made the
students more academically active. With the help of learning styles integration into different
learning materials and methods, not only students have benefited from this but also the
teachers.

Learning styles has variety of forms. Erick (2018) explained that there are some
students who doesn't poses only one style. Everyone could fall into multiple types and some
aren't even aware of their own preference. She said that by not understanding the diversity
of learning styles, students could lead to poor academic performances. In the other hand,
learning styles affects our daily life as Wyman (2011) said. These preferences would not only
help in academics but also in everything a person do. If you aren't aware of your style, then
you'll most likely to have a hard time to cope up with everyday challenges. If you know your
style, by understanding them you could use this to your advantage to learn best.

Besides, learning styles are essential to be recognized, to be understood, and to be


discovered by individuals. Every individual has their own styles of learning and people who
are aware of theirs find if easy to excel in their activities. Considering this, applying learning
styles into teaching techniques would help the learning environment more comfortable for
the students and easy for the teachers to tackle about their topic. Thus, being aware of
learning styles would produce more academically inclined students.
The idea of learning styles plays a big factor to one's learning. It isn't just an
assumption. Empirical evidences would be shown by listening to the learners' experiences
about this matter. In this method, learning styles' viability would be proven.

PURPOSE/OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY

This study aims to know the different learning styles of the students and their ways
of establishing techniques to deal with academic challenges.

Specifically, this study aims to:

 Determine the impact of learning styles in academic performances


• Know the role of learning styles in teaching techniques

Scope and Delimitation

This research focuses in learning styles of the students in Luis Y. Ferrer Jr. Senior
High School. We used open ended surveys to know their different learning strategies and
how did that affect their academic performances. This research was conducted during the
second semester of S.Y. 2019-2020.

Significance of the Study

This study would rebound to the betterment of education considering the different
styles of learning students do. Thus, schools that would apply this recommended teaching
strategies based on the students' learning preferences would be able to produce more
academically inclined students.

Specifically, the following individuals would benefit the following:

 The Department of Education, this research would serve as a basis in order to


produce more effective and improved learning materials. In this way, DepEd could
improve the learning environment with the help of understanding the students'
learning preferences.
 The teachers, teaching techniques could be enhanced according to the learner
preferences in order to guide them in a more effective learning environment
considering the diversity of each individual. This could also help the teachers on
making a more academically active students.
 The future researchers, findings from this research could also be used as a
reference for furthermore studies and serve as a material into exploring more about
learning styles.
