A multivariate analysis of the relationships among the Big Five personality traits, activity-oriented learning styles, and academic performance of Grade 12 students in Thailand
The multivariate results reveal that GPA and QPT were significantly related to school, gender, and learning styles, but were related to personality types non-significantly. The LSI scales have been proved to be practical and appropriate to determine EFL G12 students' learning styles. The study has contributed to the body of knowledge about personality types and learning styles of G12 students in Thailand. The findings suggest that tailoring teaching methods to students' learning styles could improve academic performance, especially in English proficiency.
