THE INFLUENCE OF STUDENTS’ LEARNING STYLES ON TEACHERS INSTRUCTIONAL PRACTICES: A CASE STUDY OF PUBLIC SENIOR HIGH SCHOOLS IN BEKWAI TOWNSHIP

ABSTRACT The purpose of the study was to ascertain the influence of students’ learning styles on teachers’ instructional practices in public Senior High Schools within the Bekwai Township. The study was basically a cross-sectional survey which used descriptive survey (structured questionnaires) to gather the data from 60 respondents. Descriptive statistics were used to analyse the results. The results of the study revealed that majority of the teachers did not consider students learning styles before teaching. In addition, according to the findings majority of the teachers did not consider students learning styles during teaching. The study also revealed that there was no significant difference in professional and non-professional teachers in terms of consideration of students’ learning styles before and during teaching. Based on the findings of the study, the researcher recommends that intensive workshop programmes should be conducted by the Ghana Education Service on regular basis for teachers to equip them with recent trends of methods to teach students with diverse learning styles. Moreover, the minority of the teachers who considered students’ learning styles should be motivated by their respective heads of schools to enable them continue the process of considering students’ learning styles and for others to emulate this exemplary act
