Learning Styles in the Philippines
• Learning Style Inventory (LSI) of Dunn, Dunn, and Price (1992) was administered to 450 sixth and seventh grade students in one urban and two rural schools.
• The LSI is a self-report instrument which analyzes the conditions under which students in grades 3 to 12 prefer to learn.

Learning Styles in the Philippines
• Filipino students were found to have preferences for 8/22 elements of learning style:– Prefer quiet rather than music or other sound when
studying. – Need bright light to concentrate or they may become
drowsy and can't think well. – Prefer cool temperatures and believe they do not
perform as well when they are warm. – Enjoy sitting in wooden, steel, or plastic chairs (formal
design) and can work in them for long periods of time.

Learning Styles in the Philippines
• Students who exhibit these characteristics tend to be sequential and persistent learners: They move from the beginning of a task to the end in a series of discrete stages (Dunn & Milgram, 1993). They prefer to work on only one thing at a time.
![Page 14: Learning styles and drop out](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062405/556186b3d8b42a71658b47fc/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Learning Styles in the Philippines
• BUT Filipino students tend not to be persistent.
• They take frequent breaks while studying and often prefer to work on several tasks simultaneously.
• They begin something, stay with it for a while, stop and do something else, and later return to the earlier assignment.

Learning Styles in the Philippines
• Filipino students appear to learn best in the early morning. They are most alert, most easily attentive, and best behaved at that time.
![Page 16: Learning styles and drop out](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062405/556186b3d8b42a71658b47fc/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Learning Styles in the Philippines
• Filipino students are visual and kinesthetic learners. They prefer to process information by seeing it. They like to receive information from pictures, graphs, diagrams, and visual media.
![Page 17: Learning styles and drop out](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062405/556186b3d8b42a71658b47fc/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Learning Styles in the Philippines
• As kinesthetic learners, Filipino students learn well through whole body involvement and direct experience. They want to be as active as they can.
• Ex. Role play, field trips, forming the letters of the alphabet with their bodies, and becoming physically involved in the thoughts expressed in poetry

• learning styles of high and low academic achieving freshman teacher education students of the University of the Cordilleras
• 19 students classified as low achievers and 29 students classified as high achievers
• Results of the study revealed that no significant difference exists in the learning styles between the low achieving and high achieving students

Drop Out Reduction Program (DORP)
• First implemented in 1998, the DORP is already perceived to have achieved some success, with a decrease in the dropout rate from 12.51% in AY 2005-2006 to 7.45% in AY 2007-2008.

Some DORP programs and activities
• Attendance incentives - Monthly awards for SARDOs who complete a whole month of schooling without any incident of tardiness or absence.
• Re-Connect – Encouraging SARDOs to participate in school-based special interest clubs and other co-curricular activities to help keep their interest in school.
• Home visits by teachers• Differentiated Instruction – Training teachers in
different teaching strategies to develop the multiple intelligences of their students as well as a recognition of their diverse learning styles brought about by factors such as gender differences.
