Abstract
This study explored the learning styles prevalent among high and low achievers in 14 public and independent senior secondary schools in Lagos State, Nigeria. The study utilised a survey design to elicit information from 414 participants across three local government areas of the state, using a random sampling technique and the English Language Achievement Test (ELAT) instrument. The collected data were analysed using t-test analysis. The findings showed no significant difference in the learning style preferences of high and low achieving students in secondary schools for visual and auditory styles, while there was a significant difference in tactile learning style. Low achievers had a higher preference for the tactile learning style (M = 17.96) than high achievers (M = 16.24). The study also revealed that the most prevalent learning style among high and low achieving students in public and independent secondary schools is visual, followed by auditory, while tactile/kinesthetic is the least prevalent learning style. Based on the findings in this study, a number of recommendations were articulated for teachers, curriculum developers and learners.
