This study aims to verify the statement that learning styles influence the academic achievements of students' in the arts and science streams. The main objectives of the study are 1) to seek if students' academic achievement has any significant relationship with their learning styles, 2) to determine the types of learning styles that have significant relationship with students' academic achievement in both the arts and science streams and 3) to determine the demographic factors that have significant relationship to the learning styles among Form 4 and 5 students of both the Arts and Science streams in one of the schools in the northern part of West Malaysia. To measure learning styles, six dimensions from the GRLSS (Grasha-Riechmann Learning Styles Scale) that are free style, avoidance, cooperation, dependent, competition, and participation will be used as the factors. a total of 100 responses were collected through the questionnaire distributed and received one at random which represent 100% response. The data analysis was conducted using SPSS v.19. the data was analysed and interpreted using descriptive and inferential statistics. Findings from the data analysis show that respondents prefer the dependent learning style followed by cooperation in all the variables namely gender, class, ethnic, family income and students' academic achievement. However, there can be a bit of a difference in terms of students who come from the home income of RM 2000, where they prefer cooperation followed by dependency. The Pearson Correlation analysis showed no significant relationship between learning styles as a whole with academic achievements, except for avoidance. The main findings also showed no significant relationship between learning

Students'achievement in Mathematics is very influential for achieving success in all other subjects. Mathematics is having its application in almost all other disciplines. Mathematics is used all over the world as an essential tool in natural science, social science, engineering, medicine, etc. As Mathematics is abstract and it needs skills to understand and logical reasoning to solve problems which all individuals may not possess and it can become the hurdle in achieving their goals. The present study helps us to find out the different Mathematical abilities which are essential for achievement in Mathematics. One such ability is learning styles of students. Individual's learning styles plays an important role in achievement in various subjects at the school and postgraduate level. The knowledge of students' learning styles would help the teachers and counselors to select appropriate teaching techniques. The purpose of the study was to find out the relationship between learning styles of students and achievement in Mathematics in postgraduate course under the University of Mysore. The sample selected for the study consists of 80 postgraduate students who were pursuing M.Sc Mathematics by using simple random sampling technique. The study followed survey method under educational research. Learning styles inventory of Kolb by Peter Honey and Alan Mumford (2006) which categorizes the learning styles of students under four categories, namely activists, reflectors, theorists and pragmatist learning styles was used for assessing the learning styles and analyzing its influence on classroom teaching learning process. The findings of the study reveals that the learning styles of students vary and majority of students are reflectors, followed by pragmatist, theorist and activists were few. The analysis of the data further reveals that male and female students do not differ in their learning styles, and there is a high correlation between the learning styles and achievement in Mathematics of postgraduate students. This study implies that students will have various styles and multi-faced approach in learning. This has to be understood by the teachers and other practitioners to improve the students learning Process as well as to improve the quality of Education.

A Study on Academic Achievement in Relation to Learning Styles of Senior Secondary School Students
MIER Journal of Educational Studies Trends and Practices
A learner's capacity to acquire and process information in a learning environment is their "learning style". One of the essential applications of learning styles is that teachers may easily incorporate them into their instructional strategies. Students learn in various ways; amongst the rest, the visual, auditory, and kinaesthetic (VAK) are the most prominent. This endeavour aims to identify secondary students' preferred sensory modalities for learning and analyse the association between academic achievement and learning style subscales. The study included 100 students selected using simple random sampling from Karnataka's class 8th and 9th grades secondary school students. Findings reveal that the predominant sensory modality of learning was aural and more prevalent than visual and kinaesthetic learning (34%). The relationship between learning style and academic success is statistically significant (p< 0.05). The main effects of the three variables - visual...
