Investigating the relationship between the student's ability and learning preferences: evidence from year 7 mathematics students

In the last decade, the emergence of diverse students in a streamed class based on the mathematical ability brought upon challenges for the teacher to find an approach which could accommodate all students. This study aims to investigate the connection of students’ ability with their learning prefere...
