Learning Styles Adopted by Bachelor Level Students

Abstract

The current study was on“Learning Styles Adopted by Bachelor Level Students”. The study basically aimed to find out the learning styles, namely perceptual styles, field independent,field dependent, deductive and inductive learning styles used by the Bachelor level students. Besides, other aims were to find out the most frequently and least frequently used styles among those categories and to provide some pedagogical implications. For the purpose, sixty B.Ed. students were selected from Dadeldhura Education Campus, Dadeldhura through quota non-random sampling procedure. The questionnaire was used as a tool to collect the data from the primary source. The data were analyzed using simple statistical tools,namely frequency distribution, percentage and weighted mean. The findings drawn from the analysis and interpretation of the data showed that all the styles mentioned in the questionnaire were found to be used by the majority of the students with some variation in the degree of their use. Mostly, the visual learning styles were found to be the most dominant whereas the kinesthetic learning styles were found to be the least used styles. The study is divided into four chapters. Chapter one includes introduction,general background,review of the related literature,objectives of the study,significance of the study and definitions of the specific terms used in the study.Chapter two incorporates methodology with sources of data collection,limitations of the study and procedures of data analysis. Chapter three is the analysis and interpretation of the data. It includes the analysis of perceptual,field independent, dependent and inductive deductive learning styles. Chapter four presents the findings and recommendations. References and appendices appear at the end part of the study.
