Abstract:
This study aimed at determining the effects of learning style preferences of pupils to their academic performance. To do this, a sample of 347 Grade 4 Pupils in Plaridel Elementary School, SDO-Bulacan during the academic year 2018-2019 was used. The questionnaire entitled: VAK Learning Styles Self-Assessment Questionnaire by V Chislett MSc and A Chapman (2005) was used to describe the pupils' learning style preferences while the DepEd Order no.8, s. 2013 also known as the Classroom E-Record was used to determine the point average of the respondents' level of performance in Filipino, English, Mathematics, and Science. The collected data were tabulated and processed using Statistical Packages for Social Sciences (SPSS). Findings revealed that from the three learning style preferences, only visual learning style preference took significant effect on pupils' academic performance especially in Filipino. Nevertheless, all three learning style preferences do not significantly affect pupils' academic performance on the rest of the core subjects (English, Mathematics, and Science). In this view, teachers are encouraged to further put some ingredients in delivering their pedagogical instructions according to what would best fit their pupils' learning style preferences.
