Learning Styles Of English Preparatory School Students and The Relationship Of Their Proficiency With Learning Styles and Gender

This study aims to determine the learning styles of English Preparatory School students, and examine the relationship between their proficiency scores, and their learning styles and gender. A sample of 263 students participated in the study, and their learning styles were determined by using Kolb’s Learning Style Inventory (LSI). It was found that the most prevailing learning styles were diverging and accommodating. However, no statistical significance could be found in the relationship between their gender, and proficiency scores and learning styles. As a conclusion of this study, educators should be skeptical about categorizing learners in a single category.
