In this study, it is aimed to determination of the relationship between learning styles and TIMSS mathematics achievements of eighth grade students. Correlational research design that is one of the quantitative research methods, was used in this study. The sample of the research consists of 652 8th grade students 347 are male and 305 are female…

Describes the four types of learning modalities (kinesthetic, tactual, auditory, and visual) and provides suggestions for adapting teaching styles. (SK)

An experiment, involving 37 deaf and 36 hearings Ss (aged 10-12 and 15-18 years), was conducted to determine the role of visual and auditory processing in deaf and hearing children using a short-term memory paradigm. (Author/SBH)

This review of literature on the topic of learning style opens with a history of the development of theories on information processing habits which represent the learner's typical modes of perceiving, thinking, remembering, and problem solving. A discussion is included on writings about the sense modalities used in learning--visual, aural,…

Researchers examined student listening and reading performance to determine weaknesses in listening and reading comprehension, questioning whether performances of students with such problems suggest differences in processing strategies. Results showed significant between-group listening and reading differences. Using listening to measure optimal…

The article reviews 22 studies concerned with learning disabled children under 10 years old in which there was a clear attempt to compare auditory and visual modality preferenes to visual and/or auditory methods of teaching words or other written verbal symbols. (PHR)

The importance of incorporating aural comprehension activities in the second language classroom is discussed. In addition, both the theoretical models upon which the listening comprehension research is based and the operational definitions employed by the researchers are examined. It is suggested that research demonstrates the value of emphasizing…

Presents evidence to support the premise that boys reflect a predilection to process information visually, while girls reflect a preference to process information auditorally. Cautions against relying on isolated components such as hemispheric dominance or laterality during the identification and correction of reading problems. (FL)
