Analyzing the Influence of Key Demographic Variables on the Learning Styles of Preservice Science and Non-Science Teachers
Abstract
This study investigated the influence of demographic variables such as academic disciplines, gender, and education levels on the learning styles of preservice teachers within the framework of learning styles, specifically focusing on the Visual, Auditory, and Kinaesthetic (VAK) model. Drawing on a diverse body of literature, the research aimed to discern patterns and influences on cognitive development. The primary objective was to analyze the impact of the program of study, gender, and level of education on preservice teachers' learning styles, utilizing a questionnaire-based approach with 376 participants. Statistical methods, including frequencies, percentages and chi-square tests, revealed significant variations in learning styles across different academic disciplines, genders, and education levels. The findings emphasized the mixed nature of these relationships, calling for tailored approaches in teacher training programs that consider individual difference. These findings contribute to understanding the dynamics influencing learning style of preservice science and non-science teachers
