Gender-Based Analysis of Learning Styles among IX Standard Students

J. Rubina & Sr. Lilly Mary
ABSTRACT
The present study investigates gender-based differences in learning styles among IX standard students. Recognizing individual learning preferences, especially in relation to gender, is crucial for enhancing instructional effectiveness during adolescence—a stage of cognitive and emotional development. Using a survey method, data were collected from 300 students across six schools using the standardized Learning Style Inventory by J. M. Reid. Statistical analysis, including descriptive statistics and the two-tailed t-test, revealed no significant difference in learning styles between boys and girls. These findings align with previous studies, indicating that while learning preferences may vary, gender alone does not significantly impact learning style. The study underscores the importance of adopting diverse, learner-centered teaching strategies that address varied learning needs, thereby promoting inclusive and effective classroom practices.
