Abstract

       Learning styles are the cornerstones of an effective learning process that have an impact on learners' academic attainment but may not receive sufficient attention. This may be due to the lack of knowledge of the learner himself in his learning style as well as the teacher's lack of awareness of appropriate styles for his students, Learning in one way even if it is not appropriate for the thinking of the majority of them (Al-Ghamdi, 2013(

Learning styles are a necessity dictated by the nature of teaching and learning in which the personality types, characteristics, styles and tools of the learners play a key role. This trend focuses on how learning occurs rather than on how much students have learned. The difference between learners in academic performance may be due to differences in learning styles because it relates to how individuals deal with the information contained in the curriculum (ongoing, 2015, p. 7(
