摘要
This paper presents the survey results on form four secondary school students to determine the most dominant learning styles preferred by the respondents according to four dichotomous Solomon-Felder learning dimensions. The results showed greater equilibrium between active/reflective and sensing/intuitive domains. However the respondents are more biased towards visual than verbal and sequential than global domain. According to gender, somewhat contrasting preference between male and female respondents were observed. Non-science students are able to achieve better equilibrium between learning styles than Science students. The results of the study could serve as the initial guide in developing more conducive and effective teaching-learning atmosphere in class.
