MATHEMATICS LEARNING STYLES OF STUDENTS OF THE FACULTY OF ECONOMICS AND BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION IN TURKEY

Abstract

In this study the relationship among mathematics learning styles and mathematics success of the Faculty of Economics and Business Administration students was examined. The sample of the study included 1440 students from the Business Administration, Economics and Finance departments of nine universities in Turkey. Forster's (1999) "How do I Actually Learn?" scale was used by translating into Turkish. Demographic information form which was prepared by the authors was also used. The factor analysis, ANOVA, MANOVA and Tukey test techniques were used for statistical analyses. According to the results of the analyses, six factors in learning mathematics were determined. Among the six determined factors, it was determined that the most common mathematics learning style among students of Faculties of Economics and Administrative Sciences was Diligent learning and the least common style was Technology User style. Besides, it was also determined that there were some differences among departments and class levels in terms of the use of these learning styles. Finally, some suggestions were presented in an aim to provide more effective math teaching.
