CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
Rationale
while learning. Some students listen, some take notes, and some are making sketches. To
learn efficiently, they need to understand better how to gain information. Alternatively,
enhance the methods used so they have accurate data of the information they receive. It
is necessary to know the students' capabilities to be innovative. Learning styles state that
there are different learning styles. Different styles for each student depending on the
methods used. The fact that Researchers Pashler, McDaniel, Rohr, and Roben state that
the term "learning styles" refers to the concept that individuals differ regarding what
mode of instruction or studying is most effective for them. (Harold Pashler) Learning
styles are proposed for the students to know and understand their capabilities in doing
something. Giving the students a better lifestyle with positive mindsets, improving their
Nowadays, the world is filled with infectious diseases like COVID-19, making students
study and learn at home, where many students have suffered, and it has affected their
mental and physical health at the same time. Students also suffer from their financial
status, yet they continue to learn and study. Other effects state that the learning processes
appropriate resources, engage them, increase their motivation, and enhance their
satisfaction and learning outcomes. Helping the students engage more in activities rather
than on gadgets can ruin your motivation and cause them to lose focus. They are making
the students more responsible by teaching them the basic house chores and how to
survive daily, where students become prosperous individuals who impact the nation
shortly.
Generally, learning style plays a vital role since students have different terms of learning
styles as the area of modern language, teaching, and learning has evolved over the last
several decades. Instructors and students have seen several significant shifts in language
teaching, learning techniques, and approaches. Learning styles can help students
enhance and hone their capabilities in doing something. We could improve our
capabilities if only everyone could coordinate and cooperate. Studying learning styles
helps people figure out how they learn best, which can lead to more effective studying
learning style, they can adapt their study methods to match it. When someone knows
how they learn best, like reading or doing, they can study in a way that suits them. For
example, if someone learns better by reading, they might focus on written materials like
textbooks and notes. If someone learns better by doing, they might engage in hands-on
activities or experiments. Learning about different learning styles can also improve
absorb information. Knowing one's learning style can boost confidence and motivation
by providing a clearer path to success. Studying learning styles helps people do better in
1
school by finding the best way for them to learn. To sum it up, people have different
learning styles and are clever in their ways and ideas. People do not learn in just one
way. They learn in different ways and use it then apply it to make clever things on their
own.
Theoretical Background
and Mills, bolstered by related research and studies that may support the current research
According to Neil Fleming's VARK model, learners are classified based on their
Visual(V):
Some people like to receive knowledge in visual representations, which are visually
appealing. This type of learning is known as visual learning style. Graphs, charts, maps,
diagrams, and other visual aids are useful tools for helping visual learners acquire and
understand information more efficiently. Through the utilization of these visual cues,
learners with this particular learning style may improve how well they perceive and
Auditory(A):
An individual with an auditory learning style prefers to learn by hearing, which means
that they process knowledge best when exposed to auditory stimuli like music, videos,
and discussions. Conventional educational environments are usually ideal for auditory

learners, who get the most out of actively listening to lectures, taking part in class
discussions, and taking in information via their senses. This allows them to retain and
Read-and-write learners are more likely to learn from textual resources and sense
comfort in working with written language. They learn best when they are interacting
with written materials, whether they are found in textbooks, handouts, or notes. Due to
this inclination, they frequently turn to dictionaries and other reference resources for
help in order to improve their comprehension and draw connections between ideas.
Kinesthetic(K):
style in which people learn best when they physically engage in activities such as
touching, moving, or doing tasks through the use of their hands. Because they like to
actively participate in the learning process and become physically involved, these
learners are sometimes referred to as hands-on learners because it helps them better
assimilate and remember new knowledge. This learning style is especially helpful for
those who do best in hands-on, interactive learning situations because it places a strong
It is important to identify and recognize students' learning styles since doing so may
enhance the quality of the learning process. Teachers can utilize the VARK model to aid
with methods on how to effectively plan and support student learning based on their kind
learning. It is about how learners absorb, perceive, interpret, express, retain, and recall
new information. Student learners are capable of using all of these sensory modes of
which one mode is often dominant. Learners with a single learning style preference are
multimodal. Of the multimodal learners, there are subclassifications for bi-, tri-, and
quad modal learners, who prefer to use two, three, or four styles, respectively. Quad
modal or multi-modal learners is flexible for all of the learning styles (VARK), tri-modal
learners is flexible for only just three learning styles (VRK, VAK, VAR, ARK),bi-modal
learners refers to a learners that acquires knowledge using two types of content at the
same time. (VR, VA, VK, RK), and unimodal learners refers to a learner who has a
According to Ahmet Bilal Özbek; Minna Torppa they studied the associations between
childhood-identified learning disabilities and adult-age mental health and whether adult-
age reading and math skills, coping styles, or resilience influenced the associations. The
participants were 159 Finnish adults (60.4% males). Of them, 48 (30%) had a reading
gender, age, and place of residence. At ages 20-40 (M [subscript age] = 29), they
reported their mental health, coping styles, and resilience, and their reading and math
from various sources during their learning journey. Learning styles could be defined as
“an individual’s natural, habitual and preferred way of absorbing, processing and
retaining new information and skills” Learning styles are diverse among different
students, with a preference for a certain sensory mode to receive and process that
essential, helping students try to strengthen their preferred learning style and improve
other nonpreferred learning styles (AB Eid,2021). Recently much of that research has
focused on male and female brains but more specific research has also focused on male
and female learning style differences. The most consistent findings on gender
1
differences in connection to learning-styles have been that males tend to be visually and
tactually stronger than females whereas females are stronger auditorily. Therefore, girls
are likely to learn more from lectures than boys are. It has been found that males are
more kinesthetic and learn best by doing rather than by being passive. Boys' need for
active participation has been attributed to how their brains process information. Another
very important learning-style difference is that females enjoy learning with varied
strategies whereas males need more structure and routine especially when learning new
According to the International Journal of Research in Medical Sciences Shah K et al. Int
J Res Med Sci. Two hundred junior residents, 98 males (49%) and 102 females (51%)
returned the completed questionnaire voluntarily. The responses were tallied and
assessed for learning style preference, gender difference in learning style preference and
correlation between learning styles (Table 1). Forty-nine students [(23 males and 26
females)] preferred unimodal learning. Among the unimodal learners two (0.3%)
students preferred visual, 17 (36.5%) preferred auditory, seven (11.1%) preferred read-
write and 23 (49.2%) preferred kinesthetic mode of learning. One hundred and fifty-one
students [(74 males and 78 females) 70.7%] preferred multimodal learning. Among the

CONCLUSION
The VARK Model helps the students to easily corresponds to their learning style.
Though, mostly of the Grade 8 SPS Nepomuceno are Visual Learners.BY using the
VARK model they can easily determine their learning styles and can find ways to
improve it. These students are mostly visual learners, in where they are better to take
information by having visual aids, or any pictures, drawings that illustrates their current
topic. Teachers should use a picture like illustration or really illustrations. To enhance
the respondent's various learning methods even further. As classroom numbers increase
and technology advancements continue to influence the sorts of students entering higher
education, it may become more crucial to have a deeper grasp and knowledge of
learning styles. Teachers should work hard to teach in a multi-style way that reaches as
many kids as possible in a particular class while still pushing every student to advance as
