| Summary: | The study investigated the learning styles (LSs) of 261 HCMC OU distance students at HCMC, who enrolled in 2011 for the Bachelor programs in Business administration, Finance-Banking, Accounting, Business law, Civil engineering and Social work, basing on VARK questionnaire. 36.8% sample had single model with the largest group tended to rely on kinesthetic style (14.5%), then reading style (13%). 63.2% of the sample had multi models. The multi model students still applied mainly the combination of kinesthetic and reading style and 84.8% of them tended to use one specific LS depending to the situation, not the combination of various LSs. No difference was found either in the LSs among students groups of different gender, age, field of study and academic background. |
