Abstract

The process of teaching and learning will be more effective if teachers and learners know their potential, strength and
weaknesses. The aim of this study is to identify the learning style among high academic achievers and students with
average academic performance. Students with CGPA above 3.0 at UiTM Pahang are encouraged to join the high
achievers club and they were selected as our respondents. An index of learning style questionnaires (ILS) developed by
Felder and Solomon (2005) were distributed to the students from this club and selected students with average academic
performance from science and social science faculties. The respondents' feedback were analyzed based on the four
domains of learning styles which are active-reflective, sensing-intuitive, visual-verbal and sequential-global. The findings
revealed that excellent students are more intuitive and more visual than students with average academic performance.
