Abstract
This is a study conducted to examine the relationship betweenpreferential learning style preferences types and classroom performance of MBAstudents at a southeastern university. The purpose is to understand the preferredteaching/learning methods and how they relate to a student’s overall success. Thishas been achieved by surveying graduate students in an MBA program. A surveywas developed that measured the rating of students versus ten teaching/learning style e.g., case studies, simulations, etc. The mean preferences were calculated.The mean calculation yielded most preferred and least preferred leaning styles. We then correlated the learning styles against class performance to determine the preferences of the higher preforming students versus the lower performing students. This research will provide valuable insight into the learning process and implications of certain teaching methods.
