Abstract:
Learning styles highlight individual variations of preferred educational approaches and study methods. This study examines the level of the learning styles in terms of Visual, Aural, Read/Write, and Kinesthetic (VARK) of the Bachelor of Elementary Education (BEED) students and their level of achievement and its relationship. This study was conducted last December 2023 at Bukidnon State University College of Education, Casisang Annex Campus, with 60 2nd to 4th-year BEEd students as the respondents. The researchers used an adapted-modified questionnaire from VARK Questionnaire (Version 8.01) by VARK Learn Limited and the 2nd Semester A.Y. 2022-2023 General Weighted Average (GWA) of the BEED students from the BukSU SIAS online for data collection. The results showed that VARK learning styles had a positive response rate, with kinesthetic learning style as the highest among the four, interpreted as high, and their level of academic achievement interpreted as very good. It was also shown that the visual, read/write, and kinesthetic learning styles are negligible correlated and have no significant differences with the level of academic achievement. Moreover, aural learning style also has a negligible correlation, but there is a significant difference in the student's academic achievement. The results show that every student has their learning style, and it is suggested that the curriculum and institutions adapt the learning styles. Teachers could use the implications of this study to improve and incorporate various teaching methods.
