Abstract

INTRODUCTION

Every student is unique. Students' Learning Style may vary from how they prefer to learn. A learner may be spatial, naturalist, musical, linguistic, bodily-kinesthetic, intrapersonal, logical/mathematical, interpersonal and existentialist (Gardner, 1983). The term "learning styles" speaks to the understanding that every student learns differently. Technically, an individual's learning style refers to the preferential way in which the student absorbs, processes, comprehends and retains information (Fleming and Baume, 2006).
