Abstract individuals use thinking styles and learning strategies to acquire new knowledge and perform a learning task. The aim of this research is to identify the thinking styles and learning strategies that students participate in the research and to reveal the relationship between their thinking styles and learning strategies. The work is designed according to the relative scan model from the general scan models. The area of study of the study was formed by 389 students studying in the eleven classes of 5 different high school types randomly selected.  The data obtained in the study on thinking styles were collected using the "Thinking Styles Scale" and the data obtained on learning strategies were collected using the "Learning Strategies Determination Scale". In the analysis of the data; frequency, percentage, average, standard deviation, t-test, one-way variance analysis, Tukey HSD test, Kruskal Wallis test and Pearson Moments Collapse analysis were performed. The research finds that eleven students often prefer the legislative, hierarchical, judicial and liberal thinking styles; they prefer the conservative, oligarchical, local and global thinking styles. In learning strategies, students are determined to use comprehension strategies and understanding tracking strategies intensely, while they are less using sensory strategies, repetition strategies, and organizational strategies. Having regard to the relationship between the thinking style that the eleven class students have and the learning strategies they use, it has been found that there is a meaningful but negative correlation between the thinking styles they use and the learning strategies.
