Abstract

Comprehensive studies in recent decades have shown that learning styles constitute the ground of some individual differences which affect learning. Academic achievement of learners is deeply affected by these styles. The mentioned learning styles are: Visual, Auditory, Read/Write, Kinesthetic, and Multi Model.
Current study investigates the relationships between learning styles of graduate students of Tehran PNU and their academic achievements. Pearson correlation test was used to check the relationships between variables. Regardless of academic majors, primary findings revealed no meaningful relationships between students’ learning styles and their academic achievement. However, investigation of the relationship between learning styles of students with different majors shows meaningful relationships between variables and confirms the hypotheses of this research.
