Özet:

The purpose of this study is to investigate the learning styles of secondary school students. The data for this study was collected by means of the “Learning Styles Inventory”, developed by D. Kolb. The research sample consisted of 763 students. The data were analyzed by analysis of variance, LSD test and Chi-square. The results of the analysis performed to find out the learning modes and components revealed that the difference between the students' scores of abstract conceptualization learning style and their mean scores of abstract conceptualization-concrete experience (AC-CE) learning components was important. It was determined that the students of science and social studies preferred abstract conceptualization whereas the students of Turkish-Mathematics and vocational departments preferred active experimentation learning style. No significant difference was observed between the students' branches and their learning styles. However, it was concluded that most of the students (%43.1) adopted the converger learning style.
