Tolomia, M. A. ED In Partial Fulfillment of the compulsion in ED. STRAT 8 (Developmental Reading October 2011 CHAPTER 1 THE PROBLEM AND ITS SCOPE Introduction We go bad hold of this topic beca utilisation we take to know how the freshmen educatees wangle up with their everyday slightons with their skill panaches.\r\nRecognizing which bearing is your trounce-loved integrity is non to nominate that superstar is better than other, rather it serves to assistant you work out strategies when a legitimate statement systems don’t movement your entitle and to chall(a)enge you to weaken in all aras. Basically, once you d huffy your best-loved way of life(s), take advantage of your str engths and work to develop your weaker aras. Each person has their hold flake of nurture style. A fostering style is a method in which each of us utilizes to better catch bodily.\r\nA pickred encyclopedism style is a style in which the person jakes evolve best, reflecting their strengths and weaknesses of the various(prenominal). In invest to understand material we take it all in with our senses, by dint of sight, sound, touch, smell or taste. quadruple Intelligence theory sustains that in that location ar at least septet eruditeness styles (â€Å" apprehensions”): inter individualizedised, intra-personal, body/kinesthetic, visual/spatial, mathematical/logical, verbal/linguistic and musical/rhythmic (Lazear, D. 1991).\r\nFor the purposes of this paper I entrust simplify the seven categories into cardinal main categories in which volume best learn information: auditory, visual and tactile/kinesthetic. Most wad ingest the efficacy to use all thre e erudition styles simply learn best utilize one specific education style. Statement of the Problem The convey aimed to light upon the dis similar information styles preferred by the selected Freshmen Education students of Villaflores College, Tanjay City for School twelvemonth 2011-2012. Specifically the record seeks the answer to the adjacent questions: . What is the indite of our student/respondents in comparison to: *age; *gender; * woo; * size of the family; * teachingal advancement of p arnts; 2. What are the several(predicate) friendship styles used by the freshmen education students? 3. To what extent do the acquirement styles answer the students cope up with their everyday lessons? 4. Is at that place a signifi displacet relationship mingled with the tuition styles of the students/respondents and their academic performance? importee of the Study This work has signifi hind endce to the interest: Students.\r\nIf they know their learning styles and can articulate their needs, they can go on to administer these needs with appropriate assistance. Teachers. When they identify see elements of individual learning styles, they can hit bidding and materials with those individual discordences providing students with a method for learning that can lead to their ameliorate achievement and increased aptitude to sour control over their own broadcast. besides knowledge of learning styles would also enable them to assist students with a program that leave fit the pupils learning styles strengths. Parents.\r\nParental influences are normally more(prenominal) accepted by students in their formative years, parent’s knowledge of their children’s learning styles would assistance them in the follow-up of their children’s learning styles. Department of Education (DepEd). The result of the necessitate depart provide DepEd the insights on how to improve teaching found on students individual learning styles. interrog ationers. They should further their queries on the dur efficiency of learning style-based instruction so that students can be provided with opportunities to improve their academic performance. domain and Limitation of the Study\r\nThe study was conducted in Villaflores College, Tanjay City with the freshmen Education students from the regular classes as respondent. Definition of Terms †Important foothold in this study are specify either conceptually on operationally for a clearer rationality of its contents. Department of Education †The government agency tasked to give the basal education in the elementary, secondary and third take aim. Freshmen Education Students †These refer to the students of Villaflores College enrolled in the Freshmen level in the Regular classes for the School course of instruction 2011-2012.\r\n acquisition styluss †Refer to the divergent approaches or ship canal of learning. It is a student’s consistent way of responding to and using stimuli in the context of learning, Villaflores College †A private condition in Tanjay City. It is where the respondents of this study are enrolled in. cognitive hypothesis †suggests that individuals work information several(predicate)ly on the theme of either acquired or inherent traits. many look forers investigated the variables of field dependance and emancipation, world(prenominal) and analytic, synchronal and successive, and go away- chastise-preferred touch.\r\nAs they conducted studies to figure the student’s characteristics that appeared to be more or less responsive to environmental THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK OF THE STUDY The concepts and theories self-possessed based on readings from books and the internet are used as basis for ascertain the theoretical framework of the study. Learning styles are biologically and developmentally set of personal characteristics that make the identical events of instruction affective for some stu dents and ineffective to other.\r\nThough initially conceived as an outgrowth of practitioner’s observations this learning styles model traces its roots to deuce distinct learning theories. Cognitive Style Theory Cognitive Theory suggests that individuals process information differently on the basis of either acquired or inherent traits. Many researchers investigated the variables of field dependence and independence, global and analytic, simultaneous and successive, and left-right-preferred processing.\r\nAs they conducted studies to check the student’s characteristics that appeared to be more or less responsive to environmental emotional sociological and psychological stimuli, they found out that selected variables a lot clustered together. Indeed relationships appeared to equal between learning persistently, in quiet and overbold light, in formal setting arrangements and with comminuted or no intake, and being and analytic left processor (Dunn, Bruno, Sklar an d Beaudry, 1990); (Dunn, Cavanaugh, Elerle and Zenhausern, 1982).\r\nSimilarly, young community who oft requested breaks while learning and who learned more, easily in delicate lighting, with sound in the environment, seated formally, and with snacks, often revealed high scores as right processors. Field dependence versus field independence correlated in many ways with global versus an analytic cognitive and, again, seemed to protract the same clustering as right- and left- preferences students did. In some cases, more attributes allied themselves with global/right tendencies than with their counterparts.\r\nThus, although global/rights often enjoyed work with peers and using their tactual strengths, analytic/left did not reveal the reverse nor did the sociological or perceptual characteristics evidences consistent similarities. The Theory of Multiple Intelligences Howard Garner conceived the theory of five-fold wisdom operations. He identify eight (8) different ways to demo nstrate intellectual ability. The lawsuits of twofold intelligences are: visual or spacial Intelligence (Picture spite) †learning visually and organizing ideas spatially. comprehend concepts in action in order to understand them.\r\nThe ability to â€Å"see” things in one’s mind in planning to produce a harvest-tide or solve a problem. This face of intelligence is minute of representing ideas visually, creating mental images, noticing visual details drawing and sketching . And has the ability to create visually and take to accurately. Verbal or Linguistic (Word Smart) †learning finished the verbalize and written word. This intelligence was always treasured in the traditional classroom and in the traditional assessments of intelligence and achievement. This type of intelligence is sensitive of dealing, writing, listening and reading. And has the ability to speak effectively.\r\nMathematical or Logical (Number Smart or Logic Smart) †learnin g by means of reasoning and problem solving. Also passing valued in the traditional classroom, where students were asked to take in to logically sequenced delivery of instruction. This type of intelligence is sensitive of finding patterns, making calculations forming and exam hypothesis, using scientific method and deductive and inductive reasoning. And has the ability to work effectively with numbers and reason effectively. Bodily or kinesthetic (Body Smart) †learning through with(predicate) interaction with one’s environment. This intelligence is not the domain of â€Å" to a fault active” pupils.\r\nIt promotes understanding through concrete experience. This type of intelligence is sensitive to activities requiring strength, speed, flexibility, hand-eye coordination and balance. And has the ability to use the hand to fix or create and use the body expressively. Musical (Music Smart) †learning through patterns, rhythms and music. This includes not only auditory learning, but the identification of patterns through all the senses. This type of intelligence is sensitive to listening, singing, playing an instrument. And has the ability to create and analyze music. Intrapersonal (Self Smart) †learning through feelings, values and attitudes.\r\nThis is deductively affective component of learning through which students place value on what they learn and take ownership for their learning. This type of intelligence is sensitive to setting goals, assessing personal abilities and liabilities and monitoring one’s own thinking. And has the ability to meditate, reflect, exhibits self-discipline, maintain composure, and get the to the highest degree out of oneself. Interpersonal (People Smart) †learning through interaction with others. Not the domain of children who are simply â€Å"talkative” or â€Å"overly social”. This intelligence promotes collaboration and workings cooperatively with others.\r\nThis ty pe of intelligence is sensitive to noticing and responding to other people’s feelings and personalities. And has the ability to work with people and help people identify and overcome problems. Naturalist (Nature Smart) †learning through classification, categories and hierarchies. The naturalist intelligence picks up on subtle differences in meaning. It is not simply the study of nature; it can be used in all areas of study. This type of intelligence is sensitive to identify and classify living things and natural objects. And has the ability to analyze ecological and natural situations and entropy and to work in natural settings.\r\n existential (Spirit Smart) †learning is seeing the â€Å"big prospect” â€Å"Why are we here? ” â€Å"What is my reference in the world? ” â€Å"What is my place in my family, school and community? ” This intelligence seeks connections to existent world understanding and application of unseasoned learning . CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK OF THE STUDY The study assessed the preferred learning styles among the freshmen college students in Villaflores College. The study experimentd the profile of the students respondents and the significant relationship of the preferred learning styles and their profile.\r\nThe variables and their relationship are expressn in the conceptual framework. The diagram further shows two interactive arrows toward the socio-economic variable and learning styles strengths and weaknesses to show dynamism and interrelationship of the different components. The identified learning styles strength or weaknesses will be the basis for an enrichment plan for teaching strategies compatible to the learning styles of the freshmen college students of Villaflores College. The enrichment plan will address the teaching strategies compatible to the learning styles of the students.\r\nReview of connect Literature and Studies colligate Literature Everybody has strengths, although a par ents strengths tend to differ from those of the other parents, from those of their offspring and from those of their own parents. Thus, stimulate and father often learn differently from each other and also from their children. Nevertheless, parents ordinarily insist that children study and do their grooming as they themselves did when they were young. That approach is not believably to be effective for at least some of the siblings because inside the same family, different individuals usually learn in diametrically opposite ways.\r\nLearning style thusly is the way by which each learner begins to concentrate on, process and prevent peeled and difficult information. That interaction occurs differently for every individual. To identify a person’s learning style pattern, it is necessary to examine each individual’s flat characteristics to de margeine what is most kindredly to blow up each student’s concentration, maintain it, respond to his or her natural processing style, and lead to a long-term keeping (Dunn, Dunn and Perrin, 1994). There are many models to identifying learning styles.\r\nOne of these is the widely known learning style model of Dunn and Dunn. This learning style uses the three main sensory receivers- Vision, audile, and kinaesthetic to determine the possessive learning style of the learners. Its main strength is that it is quite simple, which appeals to a lot of people. The learner may prefer one style of learning for one task, and a combination of others for one task. However, one or more of these styles are dominant. This dominant style defines the best way for a person to learn and perceive information. close to hints for indentifying the different learning styles are: . Visual Learners. These types of learners can learn fast when they see, keep an eye on and observed what has to be learned. They easily visualize faces and places by using their imagination. They seldom get lost in new surroundings. They le arn better with charts, demonstrations and other visual materials. They render better attention to lectures if they watch them. b. Auditory Learners. These types of learners do better and can retain information by listening to lectures, tapes and discussions. They believe information by forming the sound of linguistic communication rather than by reading silently. . Kinesthetic Learners. These learners do best while moving and moving. They tend to lose concentration if there is little or no impertinent stimulation of movement. When listening to lectures they may want to take notes. When reading, they like to scan the material first and focus on the details. They like to draw pictures, diagrams or doodle things. Related Studies One goal of educational research is to discover a method of instruction which enables teachers to teach students effectively and efficiently in the classroom.\r\nenquiryers have faintly provided knowledge on how children perceive, interact with and respon d to the learning environment. But, within the educational reform arena of the 1980’s, a renewed interest styles emerged. Ebert in 1994 conducted a study learning style profile of vocational students. A multi-stage, cluster take of students enrolled in vocational education program in Pennsylvania was identified. The Learning Style Profile developed and distributed by the NASSP (1986) was administered to 580 students enrolled in randomly selected vocational education programs.\r\nLearning Styles Profiles of students for each program and a complicated profile were established. Learning styles of vocational education students enrolled in these selected programs were found to be similar to that of the national population. The popular notion that the vocational education students differ from non-vocational education students based on their inaccurate learning style. If differences exist between vocational and non-vocational education students accordingly the difference is the r esult of something other than learning style.\r\nStudents enrolled vocational education programs could be taught using the same methods and with the same expectations as students enrolled in non-vocational education programs. Teachers should employ methods of instructions which address a variety of learning styles and be prepared to assist students to use knowledge of learning styles to facilitate learning. RESEARCH methodological analysis Research Design The study apply the descriptive method of research. It described the different learning styles of students. It further examined present conditions as far as learning styles and profiles of the student/respondents are concerned.\r\nResearch Respondents There were a total of 164 freshmen education students who serve as respondents of these study, 116 students from Bachelor of Elementary Education and 48 from Bachelor of Secondary Education. Fortunately, the researchers were able to return all the questionnaire forms within the allo tted queer of time. Research Environment Villaflores College is located in Legaspi St. Tanjay City with the land area of 3 hectares. There are more than 8 buildings with beautiful flowers around which provide a strong facade of greenery and foliage.\r\nResearch Instruments The VAK Learning Style Self-Assessment Questionnaire was used as the research instrument in collection of data with some modifications. It contains two major(ip) parts: (1) Profile of freshmen college students. It asked for the respondent’s age, gender, family monthly income, size of the family, available learning media at home , and parents’ educational attainment; (2) Preferred learning styles of the freshmen education students. Research Procedure The researcher asked permit from Mr. Percival Tolomia Ed. Strat 8 instructor to conduct this study.\r\nAfter the permission was granted the researchers started the admission of the questionnaires to the freshmen education students in Villaflores Colleg e. After retrieving the questionnaire forms, the researchers examined the raw data and make necessary preparations and tabular presentations. Statistical word of Data The preparation of the data matrices was make using the following statistical tools, viz: 1. pig bed’s Formula In sampling, the convening for getting the number of respondents is: n= _______ N_______ 1+ Ne2 Where: n= is the sample size\r\nN= is the population size e= is the delimitation of error 2. Percentage To convert the raw data into percentile score, frequencypercentage was used. The formula is: P= __f__ x 100% N Where: P= Percentage F= frequency N= number of items 3. Weighted Mean To determine the extent of preference of the pupils’ learning styles, the burthen mean was used. The formula reads as follows: Xw = _? (xw)_ ?w Where: XW (read:x bar sub w) is the symbolization for the weighted mean. X is the value term W is the weight ? (xw) is the sum of the products of X and W ?w is the sum of wei ghts\r\n'
