Abstract
The purpose of this study is to determine the effect levels of experimental studies in which the effects of learning styles on academic achievement are examined and to synthesize the findings of there search. Forth is purpose, experimental studies related to learning styles were examined and 18 studies that employed the learning-style based instruction and provided the data required for meta-analysis were included in the study. According to the fixed effect model of the studies, the overall effect size of the studies is d = 779, the Standard error value is SE = 0.056. In homogeneity tests, Q =110,686 was found. The absence hypothesis of homogeneity was rejected because the Q value exceeds its equivalent in the X2 table. I2 statistic value (83.738) was found to indicate high level of heterogeneity. By looking at the combined effect size value according to the random effects model (E ++ = 0.926), it is seen that the learning-style based instruction has a positive effect on academic achievement.
Keywords: Learning styles, meta-analysis, academicachievement
