Unraveling the connection: A systematic review of learning styles and mathematics achievement

Source abstract

Mathematics is an essential subject in schools, helping develop cognitive skills such as critical analysis, logical reasoning, and problem-solving. However, academic achievement in mathematics often declines, with some students having difficulty understanding mathematical ideas. Many factors influence mathematics achievement, including students' learning styles. This study aims to identify students' learning styles and how they may affect their academic performance. The study's findings indicate that mathematics often uses visual-spatial learning mode. Understanding mathematical concepts usually requires first seeing shapes and relationships. Schools are advised to train instructors in learning style-based teaching methods because a better understanding of students' learning styles can improve engagement and academic achievement.
