Assessment Varied Learning Styles as Perceived By Abm Students

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

Learning is an integrated, continuous process happening with the individual, enabling to meet the specific target, accomplish task and interact with others. Learning style was accounted to be vital on how students learn and process information. However, the diversity of learners in responding to varied learning styles was pivotal in this study. Moreover, understanding of individual's need to learn must be addressed accordingly.

METHODS

The researchers used descriptive research design in this study. The participants were ABM students who were currently enrolled during the school year 2017-2018. Theresearchers used an adapted survey questionnaire in assessing the respondents learning styles in terms of enhancing visual spatial, fostering auditory musical and engaging to bodily kinesthetic.

RESULTS

The findings showed that the participants agreed in all learning styles in terms of enhancing visual spatial, fostering auditory musical engaging to bodily kinesthetic.However, based on the data presented, ABM students preferred visual spatial as the most effective learning style. This means that the participants liked to see or observe instructional materials including pictures, diagrams, handouts and others that sometimes responded to the participant's needs and interests. It was noted that the participant may also prefer one style of learning for one task and a combination of others for different task.

DISCUSSIONS

The study revealed that learning styles were perceived to affect students' performance, process information, interact with varied situations, and cope with the learning process.Likewise, other assessment may further be done to determine the learners' awareness of the learning styles that will help maximize his potential in accumulating knowledge, skills and application to real life situations.
