The Effect of Learning Style and Academic Performance In ASMNHS Cookery

Students.

Introduction

Identifying the specific The Effect of Learning Style and Performance in ASMNHS Cookery
Students class is essential for the effective delivery of the k to 12- curriculum .This endeavor is useful
in in the planning and management for the allocation of needed facilities and equipment in the
implementation of the Commercial Cookery Technical-Vocational.Commercial Cookery is a technical
vocational course that focuses on the skill competencies of the students which is a vital basis for their
academic performance.

The Commercial Cookery course is a skill oriented course that require hands on training private
establishments offering the said courses are equipped with the necessary ,facilities and space because
they understand that these are indispensable.

This study is a first of a kind that will relate the the effect of learning style and Academic
performance in ASMNHS cookery students .The government has to consider the minimum standards
foll all food establishment design and equipment .The requirements should also consider the
demands of the students learning style.

The research will use this study to help administrators understand how the cookery students
visualize ,listen, and maneuver the new learning in the aid of the school facilities and
equipment .Research would like to know if the school management support is helpful in the
appropriate scaffolding of Senior High School cookery students.

According to Rezaeinejad and company (2015) a learning process is indispensable in human

life.Students learning styles are acquired when the learning started to engage himself in learning
environment .The teachers and others factors contribute to the creation of a child's models of
learning.When students get a failing grade,failure in meeting their learning preferences is always
pointed out as the reason.

In the study of Tulbure (2011) about the learners learning modality and other related variables
investigating their relationship to the students grade point average,find out the relevant variations
between the two identified sets of tertiary education learners base on their response to the teaching
strategies that match up to their learning styles.The difference was that slow learners styles when
attended to helped them in their academic performance while fast learners do not need learning
styles to improve their performances.

Today learners are so much different compared to types of learners the country had a decade
age due to fast changing environment and culture.They many vary in learning styles compared to that
of their parents and teachers .Filipinos many vary in learning styles.This issue drives the research to
verify the learning preferences of the students and would try to clarify whether each type of learner
uses a learning styles specific only to them.However ,there is no publication that identifies the
learning style that is specific only to each types learners.

This study will serve as a means to understand the learning styles of the public Senior High
School Students in Asuncion S.Melgar National High School .
Background of the Study

This study is anchored on Felder-Siverman Style Model which was developed by Richard Felder
and Linda Silverman to depict diverse learning styles and preferences .The said models dimension
refer to the following ;Active or Reflection,Visual,Sensing or Intutive,and Sequential or Global (Felder-
Silverman,n.d.).

The four dimension classify individuals into following :

Sensing-Intuitive.This continuum determines how a learner prefers to preceive or take in

information (Felder- Silverman,n.d).

Visual-Verbal.This continum determines how a learners prefers to prcocess information to be

presented (Felder-Silverman,n.d.).

Active-Reflective.This continuum determines how a learners prefers process information

(Felder-Silverman,n.d.).

Sequential-Global. This continuum determines how a learnerrs prefers to organize and

progress toward understanding information(Felder-Silverman,n.d.).

According to Felder and Silverman (n.d.),the details about the above mentioned learning
preferences are the foolowing:sensing for learners who prefer create thinking practical, and
concerned with facts; intutive for learners who conceptual thinking innovative,and concerned with
theories and meanings.
