A Study of the Impact of Individual learning Style Preferences on Students’ Academic Achievement of Sixth Grade Mehri High School Students at Herat Province

الملخص

      This research is aimed to investigate whether different learning styles affect the academic performance of sixth-grade students at Mehri High School. The study employed a quantitative, quasi-experimental design, using two classes of sixth-grade students at the school (25 in class A and 25 in class B) as a saturated sample. Data was collected using a learning style questionnaire and pre- and post-tests on student learning outcomes. The analysis involved both descriptive and inferential statistics, with the latter utilizing an independent sample t-test, conducted using IBM SPSS Statistics 21 Software. The results revealed a significant difference between the groups. The 2-tailed significance value of 0.045, which is less than 0.05, indicates that learning styles do indeed influence the academic performance of sixth-grade students at Mehri High school. This finding led to the rejection of the null hypothesis (H₀) and the acceptance of the alternative hypothesis (H₁).
