Abstract

This study investigates the correlation between sensory learning styles [VAK / Visual, Auditory, and Kinesthetic (Tactile)] and academic performance in chemistry among general education students. Using the “VAK Learning Style Self-Assessment” questionnaire, we examined student achievement in the “chemistry end-of-year summative examinations” in the first and second year (10th and 11th Grade) of upper secondary Greek school, as well as in the “National University Entrance Examinations” of Greece. Results showed that visual learners demonstrated significantly higher performance compared to auditory and kinesthetic learners, while no significant statistical difference was observed between the latter two styles.
