Abstract - Learning Style Preferences can be an influential factor in determining the effectiveness of teaching – learning process for the learners. These are preferences of learner through which they can learn better. Studies have shown that by adopting learning strategies appropriate to the learning styles of the learners, the teaching – learning process can be made more effective. The learning styles are categorised according to the way the learners grasp and process the information during the teaching – learning process. Various learning styles models proposed by the researchers are reviewed in the current work. Amongst various learning styles models, the current study focuses to analyse the learning styles preferences of the learners in lieu of the VARK learning styles preference modal. The modal addresses the sensory modalities of the learners.
