Research Abstract
Learning styles is a critical factor in determining if students
learn and probably students understand lessons it should be
understood for learners’ academic achievement. This would resolve
the problems in online learning for all the students specially
the Science Majors in making their learning easy and to have a
better achievement on their academic performance. There are many
studies which resulted that learning styles and academic
performance have no significant differences to each other.
This study used Two-way comparison research. It described the
demographic profile and learning styles of the respondents, and
the significant difference between the academic performance to
their learning styles. The VARK questionnaire was used as the
data collection tool via Google form. A total of 41 General
science students at Eduardo L. Joson Memorial College were
selected randomly. The grade point average (GPA) of previous
semester was used as an indicator of academic achievement, and
also their sex. The ANNOVA test was used to identify the
significant difference between learning style and sex and
difference between learning styles and academic performance.
The result of the study revealed that General Science Major was
more appealing to female students than male. Also, the male and
female respondents greatly preferred unimodal learning style than
bimodal learning style. Auditory learning style was the most
9
preferred unimodal learning style and auditory-kinesthetic was
the most bimodal learning style. The GPA of the respondents was
spread out in range of 2.00-2.99. ANNOVA test suggested that it
was needed to reject the null hypothesis which there was no
significant difference between learning style and sex with a
fvalue of 12.07. Also, the ANNOVA suggested to reject the null
hypothesis which was there was no significant difference between
academic performance and learning styles with a f-value of 10.44.
It is concluded that the academic performance and sex has a
significant difference in the learning style of the respondents.
This study proposed an Instructional materials that was aligned
to the result of the study which cater the different learning
styles as it suggested that it had significant relationship to
the academic performance.

The Problem and its Background
Introduction:
“Education is the most powerful weapon which we can use
to change the world” said by Nelson Mandela. We may observe
it in the past years wherein there lots of problems being
resolved by a good education or educated people starting
from promoting gender equality, reducing poverty, and
guidance for environmental sustainability (India Today,
September 9, 2019). It is truly recognized that education is
one of the most powerful weapon because it can change
people, communities, entire nations and the future humanity.
However in the past ten months the educational system of the
Philippines faces a big problem caused by the COVID-19
pandemic. Educational system has turned in new normal set-up
regardless of difference in approach and confidence when it
comes to traditional setting of education, online class has
become a critical part of educational system everywhere.
This research paper raising opportunities to determine
the most effective instructional materials in science during
the pandemic times and will lead on understanding on how
students could deal with it.
11
Educational system changes rapidly wherein class
discussions conducted using various online platforms like
ZOOM Meetings, GOOGLE Meet, GOOGLE Classroom and others.
However, the implementation of online learning posed
different risks, problems and challenges to both the
teachers and students, especially in the higher education
institutions (HEIs) (Bao, 2020).
To respond on the diverse distance and timely needs of
today’s learners due to the pandemic, many institutions
offer distance learning to expand their teaching methods
with distance learning courses, in order to reach and
continue the cycle of education. Educational leaders decided
to adopt new normal in education. That is why laboratory
activities, quizzes, and examinations became more complex
and hindrance for many students to cope up because of lack
of materials and unavailability of good internet connection
qualities at home.
Learning styles is a critical factor in determining if
students learn and probably students understand lessons.
Because every person has a learning style it’s an individual
signature. The classroom or even online discussions could be
organized if the students learning styles were addressed
12
respond to their individual needs for quiet or sound, bright
or soft illumination, warm or cool room temperatures,
seating arrangements or even group preference. We can
recognize the pattern in which people tend to concentrate
(Rita Dunn, Jeffrey S. Beaudry, Angela Klavas, 1989)
On this pandemic, many students are experiencing stress
and hardships merely affected by it were the Science Majors
because they cannot cope up to the lessons because of their
learning style preference. Auditory learners cannot study
well because of low internet connections; they can’t hear
clearly what the teacher is discussing on Google Meet.
Learning styles should be understood for learners’
academic achievement. This would resolve the problems in
online learning for all the students specially the Science
Majors in making their learning easy and to have a better
achievement on their academic performance.
Statement of the Problem:
This study primarily aims on seeking for the differences of
learning styles and the academic performance. Specifically,
it will answer the following questions;
13
1. How may the profile of the respondents be described
based on:
1.1 sex; and
1.2 academic performance?
2. How may learning styles be described in terms of:
2.1 visual learning;
2.2 auditory learning;
2.3 reading or writing learning; and
2.4 kinesthetic learning?
3. Is there a significant difference between the academic
performance of respondents and their learning styles?
4. What Instructional Materials in Science can be
developed based on the findings of the study?
Hypothesis
1. There is no significant difference between the academic
performance and learning styles of Science majors.
Theoretical Framework
This study was anchored from the VARK theory of Neil
Fleming 1992, as cited by the researchers Kendra Cherry and
Aron Jassen, 2019. The researchers hypothetically correlated
14
the learning style theory and the academic performance of
the learners.
VARK is an acronym that according to N. Fleming is the
four types of learning styles: Visual learners,
Auditory/Aural learners, Reading/Writing Learners and lastly
Kinesthetic learners.
This theory indicates that each and every learners has
their different types of learning styles, it is like their
comfort zone within the learning process wherein they become
more productive and can show their best when teaching
methods align to their preferred learning style. N. Fleming
claims that every individual had different needs that need
to be fulfilled.

Scope and Delimitation
This study aims to determine the appropriate teaching
plan for the Science Subjects. The respondents of the study
are first and second year students of Eduardo L. Joson
Memorial College of Bachelor of Secondary Education, Major
in Science, during academic year 2020-2021. 41 students were
selected to answer the questionnaire for the study.
Online survey method using Google Form was used to utilize
the questionnaire to determine the differences of student’s
17
learning styles and academic performance in Science. The
study was conducted from February-April of 2021.
Definition of Terms
The following terms are conceptually and operationally
defined for better understanding of the study.
• Bachelor of Secondary Education. It is a program content
and pedagogy in teaching Science for high school were
provided.
• Education. It refers to the process of receiving or
giving systematic instruction, especially at a school or
university (Oxford).
• GPA (Grade point average). It is the mean grade of the
respondents in quarter in the science subjects.
• Learning style. These are student’s preferences on how
they gather, interpret, organize, come to conclusions
about, and store different kinds of information.
VARK Learning Styles defined by Kendra Cherry 2019.
 Visual Learning. Students with this learning style
learn best by seeing. Graphic displays such as
charts, diagrams, illustrations, handouts and
18
videos are all helpful learning tools for visual
learners.
 Auditory Learning. Students with this learning
style learn best by hearing information. They tend
to get a great deal out of lectures and are good
at remembering things they are told.
 Reading/Writing Learning. Students with this
learning style prefer to take in information that
displayed as words and text.
 Kinesthetic Learning. Students with this learning
style learn best by touching and doing. Hands-on
experience is important for kinesthetic learners.
• Science Majors. It pertains to students specializing
Science subject in the field of teaching.

Review of Related Literature
Learning Style
Learning styles is a term that is used to explain
various ways that learners acquire knowledge. It seeks to
give an explanation on how people learn. The issue of
individual difference is very crucial in learning styles, as
it works under the premise that no two persons learn in same
way. There is the understanding that every student learns
differently. Learning styles therefore is an individual’s
unique way of absorbing, processing, comprehending and
retaining information. In which learning is a complex
process where an individual achieves knowledge or skills,
which involves the learner’s biological senses
(Idrizi and Filiposka, 2018). Neil Fleming, the creator of
VARK explained that students preferred learning modes have a
significant influence on their learning behavior and the
information accessed through students’ use of their modality
preferences increase their levels of
comprehension, motivation and metacognition (Macdonald,
Germine, Anderson, Christodoulou, and McGrath,
2017).According to Mašić, A., Polz, E., and Bećirović, S.
20
(2020), that learning style can be correlated into three
factors: the gender, school level and their GPA. This gives
them a result that the students mainly preferred Auditory
learning style and this learning style preference were being
affected by the three factors being presented.
Importance of Learning Style in Online Education
According to the study of J. Pinchot and K. Paullet
(2014) used VAK Learning Styles (Visual, Auditory and
Kinesthetic) as a framework. In their study they review
different online free tools that can addressed the different
learning styles of the students. Online free tools that can
create audio, video, sound, hands-on activities and more
were featured to showcase the plethora of tools that are
available to enhance the online classroom. These tools are
freely available and can provide a wealth of opportunities
for making the online learning experience more effective for
students with each learning style. They addressed the VAK
learning styles (Visual, Auditory and Kinesthetic). They
believe that "when developing online classes it is important
to keep in mind the different types of learning styles". In
order to provide quality online instruction, the learning
21
styles of students should be addressed by online educators
and curriculum developers. J. Pinchot, K. Paullet (2014).
Learning styles and Sex

According to the study of A. Kausar et al. (2019)
entitled "Do Learning Styles Influenced by Sex: A
Qualitative Study among Physiology Undergraduate Medical
Students" which aim is to assess the influence of gender on
learning style preferences among Undergraduate Medical
Students of Physiology. In their cross-sectional study among
100 undergraduate medical students of physiology, Visual,
Aural, Read/write and Kinesthetic (VARK) questionnaire
version 7.8 was used to collect information of students’
learning style preferences. Descriptive statistics were used
to describe the variables. Chi-square test was performed to
evaluate the influence of gender on learning style
preferences. In their study, 82.22% males and 68.75% females
exhibited multiple sensory preferences. Furthermore only
17.77% male, 31.25% Female, preferred a single sensory
modality for receiving information. However gender
differences were not significant. They concluded that
students both male and female had preferences for multimodal
learning style. Furthermore gender had no significant
association with learning style preference.
22
In the other hand according to the research study of S.
Kulturel-Konak, M. L. D’Allegro, and S. Dickinson from Penn State
Berks, USA in 2011, says that there is a significant difference
between learning style of male and female students in STEM
Education.
Also according to E. Desy, S. Peterson and V.
Brockman(2012) in their research study entitled “Gender
Differences in Science-Related Attitudes and Interests Among
Middle School and High School Students”, found that even though
math and science are the least favourite subjects for females,
the majority of the expected college majors were precisely in
this areas.
Learning Styles and Academic Performance
H. Awang et al. (2017) conduct a study entitled
Relationship between Learning Styles Preferences and
Academic Achievement which used the GPA of international
business students from Malaysian Polytechnic as a data to
correlate learning styles and academic achievement. The
findings of their study suggest that those two variables has
no significant relationship. This study leads the
researchers to believe that GPA and learning styles have no
significant relationship. According to:(H Awang1, N Abd
23
Samad1, N S Mohd Faiz1, R Roddin1 and J D Kankia1) no
significantly difference between learning style and academic
achievement of students. Student academic achievement was
quite similar to their individual learning styles. These
facts reveal that each learning style has its own strengths
and weaknesses.
While according Gilbert Magulod Jr.(2019) in his research
study entitled Learning Style, Study Habits and Academic
Performance of the Filipino University Students in Applied
Science Courses: Implication for instruction, as the result
spelled differences in academic performance of the students in
their learning styles.

The table 1.1 showed that there were 14 (34. 15 %) male out
of 41 total respondents, while there are about 27 (65.85%) female
out of 41 total respondents. It implied that most of the
respondents are female students, and BSEd-Science was more
appealing to female than male.
Similarly, the study of Marcus (2017) through the
observation and interview, he concluded that males who are
enrolling in higher education alarming in low rates trend. The
population of female students outnumbered male.

1(3.70%) of female had a Reading and writing and Kinesthetic
learning style. Lastly 1(3.70%) of the female had a Visual and
Kinesthetic learning style. It implies that majority of the
female respondents were Auditory learners.
In accordance to the graph and Pie chart 3 and 4 the result
was undertaken by the research study of Armit Kumar Rai and Meha
Raj Dhakal entitled, Learning Styles of Male and Female Students
of Nepal, showed that there is no significant difference between
male and female students regarding their learning style.

Table 3.1 showed that there is a significant difference
between the learning styles of male and female since the f-value
which was 12.07 was greater than the critical value =7.71. It
implies that the researcher needs to reject the null.
According to the research study of S. Kulturel-Konak, M. L.
D’Allegro, and S. Dickinson from Penn State Berks, USA in 2011,
38
says that there is a significant difference between learning
style of male and female students in STEM Education.

Table 3.2 showed that there is a significant difference among
the learning styles of students across academic performance.
Their learning styles are varied that no particular and specific
dominant style is manifested in one group based on their academic
39
performance. Therefore the researchers need to reject the null
hypothesis because the computed F-value is greater that the
critical value.
According Gilbert Magulod Jr(2019) in his research study
entitled Learning Style, Study Habits and Academic Performance of
the Filipino University Students in Applied Science Courses:
Implication for instruction, as the result spelled differences in
academic performance of the students in their learning styles.

CHAPTER V
SUMMARY OF FINDINGS, CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION
This chapter presents the summary of findings, conclusion, and
recommendation presented based on such findings.
Summary of Findings
The findings of this study are being summarized according to the
Statement of the Problem from Chapter 1 and these SOP are listed
as follows:
1. Profile of the respondents
Most of the respondents were female having 65.85% while male
having 34. 15 %.
In terms of GPA, most of the respondents got 1.25 while the least
was in 1.50.
2. Learning styles of the respondents
In terms of male students there has 1(7.14%) of them has a Visual
learning style. There are 5(35.71%) of male has an Auditory
51
Learning style. There are 4(28.57%) of male has a Reading and
Writing Learning style. While there are 3(21.43%) of male has a
kinesthetic learning style. And lastly 1(7.14%) of them have a
bimodal learning style which is Auditory and Kinesthethic
learning style.
The data for there are 9(33.33%) of female sample population have
Auditory learning styles. And there are 7(25.93%) of female have
a Reading and Writing learning style. While there are 8(29.63%)
of female have a Kinesthetic Learning style. While 1(3.70%) of
female have an Auditory and Kinesthetic learning style. Also
1(3.70%) of female have a Reading and writing and Kinesthetic
learning style. Lastly 1(3.70%) of the female have a Visual and
Kinesthetic learning style.
3. Significant Difference between the academic performance of the
respondents and the learning styles.
In terms of difference between sex and learning styles ANOVA
computed f-value 12.07 is which is greater than the critical
value which is 7.71.Thus, the null hypothesis should be rejected.
Also, the data which seek the difference between GPA and Learning
Style revealed that computed ANOVA f-value for GPA and learning
style was 10.44 has also greater than critical value which has
3.49 and it implied that the null hypothesis should be rejected
too.
Conclusion
52
Base on the indicated findings the following conclusions were
drawn:
1. The profile of respondents in terms of sex concluded that
the number of female students in General Science Major in ELJ has
higher than the male students and General Science major has more
appealing for female than male according to the data.
2. The profile in terms of GPA shows that the data were spread
out with the GPA in range 2.00 – 2.99 which is in the observable
data of this study.
3. Majority of the respondents preferred unimodal learning
style and very small portion of them preferred bimodal learning
styles. In terms of unimodal preferences their most preferred
learning style has Auditory (A) followed by Reading/writing (R)
and Kinesthetic learning style (K), Visual (V) is the least
preferred learning style. In terms of bimodal preference Auditory
Kinesthetic (AK) is the most preferred while
Reading/WritingKinesthetic (RK) and Visual Kinesthetic (VK) with
are the least preferred bimodal learning style.
The researchers concluded that male and female General Science
Students in ELJ are unimodal in terms of their learning styles
mostly of them preferred Auditory Learning Style and small
portion of them are bimodal.
4. The test of difference conducted using ANOVA test wherein
the computed f-value is 12.07 which has greater than the critical
53
value which is 7.71 in this case the researchers need to reject
the null hypothesis which implied that there were significant
difference between the learning style and sex of the students.
Also in conducting the ANOVA test of Difference the researchers
found out that the computed f-value in the test of difference of
academic performance and learning style has 10.44 which has
higher that the critical value which has 3.49. to this case the
null hypothesis was rejected.
Recommendation
Based from the findings and conclusions, the following
recommendations were made:
While the limitations of the current study influenced the
results, they also provided important insight into both the
content and procedural issues requiring consideration in further
research.
1. Future explorations could investigate whether or not there
is a possibility that students' learning style preferences
may change as they mature or in various subject areas
(Glenn, 2009; Hall & Mosely, 2005), not just the sex and
year level on the statement of the problem.
2. Factors influencing Teacher's instructional practices could
also be the focus of future inquiry, providing insight in
the role of such things as personal knowledge and
experience, convenience, and subject matter.
