Learning Style Preferences of Business Students in Saudi Arabia

Abstract

This chapter describes different types of learning style models It further explores Saudi Arabian business students' behavior regarding their preferences for different learning styles, as defined by the VAK learning styles model. 138 respondents who registered for theoretical courses and 128 for mathematical courses participated in the study. The data was gathered using a VAK modality questionnaire. The analysis indicated an apparent inclination towards multimodal learning compared to unimodal learning, with visual learning being the most favored unimodal mode. Moreover, the results of the independent sample t-test reveal no statistically significant difference in preferences among students enrolled in theoretical modules and those enrolled in mathematical modules.
