Intercorrelations Among Cognitive, Affective, and Psychomotor Learning Style Preferences in Higher Secondary School Students in Tripura, India

Abstract

This study examines the intercorrelations among cognitive, affective, and psychomotor learning style preferences in a sample of 167 higher secondary school students from Tripura, India. Using Pearson's correlation analysis, significant positive relationships were found between all pairs of learning style domains: cognitive and affective (r = 0.535, p < .001), cognitive and psychomotor (r = 0.595, p < .001), and affective and psychomotor (r = 0.500, p < .001). These findings suggest that preferences in one domain are associated with preferences in others, potentially informing tailored educational strategies. Implications for pedagogy in Indian secondary education are discussed, along with limitations and directions for future research.
