Abstract
The present study examined the preferred learning style(s) among newly admitted NCE and Degree biology students of Bamidele Olumilua University of Education, Science and Technology, Ikere, Ekiti State, Nigeria. A total of 85 NCE and 95 Degree newly admitted biology students were used for the study. Neil Fleming's VARK model was used and a validated Questionnaire on VARK of 7.0 Version was adapted and administered on the sampled students. Finding from the results showed that kinesthetic learning style is the most preferred of all the learning styles among all NCE and Degree sampled biology students. It was also showed that, there is no gender difference in the ordering of preferred learning styles as Kinesthetic, Read/write, Visual and Aural. Hence, the study recommended that tactile learning where students carry out physical activities rather than listening to lectures only should be accorded priority if meaningful learning must take place among the students.
