Abstract

Nowadays, individual differences are seen as important components in learning. They also affect teaching and learning processes in terms of teachers and students. Learning styles is another accentuated element in point of individual differences. One of the most important uses of learning styles is that it makes it easy for teachers to incorporate them into their teaching. There are different learning styles. Three of the most popular ones are visual, auditory and kinaesthetic. Some students are visual learners, while others are auditory or kinaesthetic learners. While students use all of their senses to take in information, they seem to have preferences in how they learn best. In order to help students learn, teachers need to teach as many of these preferences as possible. Teachers can incorporate these learning styles in their curriculum activities.So that students are able to succeed in their classes. A review of the literature will determine how learning styles affect the teaching process.In this study analysis thelearning styles and their impact of science teaching from 100 primary school students in Karaikaldistrict. The findings showed that most of the students preferred learning style was visual. The purpose of this study is to increase Teachers awareness and understanding of the effect of learning styles on the teaching process.
