Abstract

This study examines the relationship between learning styles and student learning outcomes in the context of higher education. Learning styles consisting of visual, auditory, and kinesthetic are each individual's unique approach to processing information. Understanding learning styles allows for the development of effective personal learning strategies, while mismatches between learning styles and teaching methods can reduce motivation and academic achievement. Learning outcomes as a measure of academic success include three domains: cognitive, affective, and psychomotor that require holistic assessment. Studies show a positive correlation between the application of appropriate learning styles and improved learning outcomes. Students who learn according to their learning styles tend to achieve better academic performance. Supporting factors include the suitability of lecturers' teaching methods, a conducive learning environment, and adequate learning facilities. Pedagogical implications emphasize the importance of a student-centered learning approach and a competency-based curriculum that is adaptive to the diversity of learning styles. This study concludes that the integration of learning style understanding in the higher education system can create a more inclusive and effective learning process. Recommendations include the development of learning style assessment instruments, training lecturers in varied teaching methods, and the creation of a learning ecosystem that supports all types of learning. This finding is relevant to improving the quality of higher education in the era of globalization which demands competent and characterful graduates.
