Analytical Study For The Vark Learning Styles Among The Jordanian Universities Students While Using Distance Learning During The Corona Pandemic

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is twofold: first, to explore the learning styles prevailing among Jordanian public universities students during the Corona pandemic, and second to find differences in those patterns according to (scientific specialization, academic stage, and gender). To achieve this, the researcher used the descriptive approach on a sample (1090) students (female, 700 and male, 390). Due to curfew in the country and to reduce face-to-face interaction, the VARK Questionnaire (Version 8.01) has been used as an electronic questionnaire by using (the Google questionnaire), which consists of (16) paragraphs that deal with the learning styles. To achieve the study's objectives, the researchers used percentages and Frequencies by using SPSS version 24. The study's results showed that (68.48) % of female students in scientific faculties prefer the kinesthetic style. In comparison, (60.45)% of male students prefer this pattern. In addition, most students in science and humanities faculties prefer a unilateral style of learning, as the highest percentage was (79.51%) among male students in humanities faculties. In light of the study results, it is necessary to provide and design various educational activities to suit different learning styles to shorten the time and effort required to communicate information to students.
