Every individual adopts a unique way to obtain knowledge and this way of acquiring knowledge is known as learning style. These learning approaches of the students can significantly influence their learning outcomes. The aim of this study was to examine the learning styles of Master level students enrolled in Education programs of the public sector universities in southern Punjab region of Pakistan. The study findings reveal that students majoring in Education practice multiple learning styles to accomplish their academic goals endeavors. Moreover, assimilating was the most practiced learning style by the sampled students. The result of ANOVA posits that there are significant differences in learning styles adopted by the students of different universities. The findings of this study provide useful ISSN 2164-4063 2016 information about the learning style preferences of the social science students and postulate that the choice of university significantly influences the learning style adaptation of students.

“…Studies have examined the impact of LS on student attitudes and engagement in the classroom. Çalışkan and Kılınç () examined LS of students (Grades 4–7) and how they affect student attitudes towards social studies courses. Significant differences in attitude were found in terms of gender; females who identified as auditory or tactile learners had more favorable attitudes (Çalışkan & Kılınç, ).…”

“…Additionally, the vast nature of the theoretical underpinnings prove challenging when comparing results and informing practice. Until recently (Abidin et al ., ; An & Reigeluth, ; Çalışkan & Kılınç, ; DiPietro et al ., ; Filippidis & Tsoukalas, ; Hwang et al ., ; Pruet et al ., ; Vasileva‐Stojanovska et al ., ) application and assessment of LS has been evaluated within the context of higher education (Coffield et al ., ). LS have curtailed the impact on teaching through the development of adaptive e‐learning systems, adaptive educational hypermedia, improved teacher education and professional development.…”

Learning styles (LS) have been used for classifying students by their preferences relative to taking information in, processing it and demonstrating their ability in the context of education. This paper investigates the role of LS in K-12 education by considering the manner in which student LS are assessed and the extent to which they have informed K-12 instruction. The paper illustrates the impact of LS on teachers, pedagogy, student engagement and assessment. The theoretical framework of LS theory is discussed. Furthermore, this paper identifies a gap in the literature regarding LS and assessment; specifically the development of assessments based on LS. The authors suggest adapting student assessment utilizing technology-enhanced items (TEIs) developed based on students' LS may provide a more reliable measure of student ability. Implications for practice and limitations are discussed.

“…There are many studies in the literature designed according to explanatory, relational and experimental design. Relational studies discovered a significant relationship between learning styles and academic achievement in any course or attitudes toward a course (Cano, 1999;Çakıroğlu, 2014;Çalışkan & Kılınç, 2012;Güven, 2008;Jahanbakhsh, 2012). Conversely, there are also studies revealing that there is no significant relationship between learning styles and academic achievement or attitudes (Altun & Cakan, 2006;Bahar, Özen, & Gülaçtı, 2009;Bölükbaş, 2007;Gappi, 2013;Warn, 2009).…”

Citation: Kanadlı, S. (2016). A meta-analysis on the effect of instructional designs based on the learning styles models on academic achievement, attitude and retention. AbstractThe purpose of this study is to calculate the effect size, by running a meta-analysis, of the experimental studies carried out in Turkey between 2004 and 2014 that investigate the effect of learning styles on academic achievement, attitude, retention, and to define whether the academic achievement shows a significant difference in terms of learning styles model, experimental design and course type. For this purpose, a metaanalytical review method was employed to combine the outcome of the independent experimental studies.The studies included in this review were collected from CoHE National Thesis Archive (
