The evaluation of a student's learning style has significant importance within the realms of pedagogy and the acquisition of knowledge. The categorization of learners' styles may be advantageous for educators as it aids the creation of teaching and learning approaches as well as the design of environments that suit each student's needs. This study aims to identify preferable Kolb learning styles and assess the impact of Kolb learning styles on learning outcome. The research subjects consist of eighty students who have been enrolled in the research. The current study utilizes quantitative survey-based methodologies for data collection. The instrument used in this study included the Kolb Learning Style questionnaire. The acquired data underwent statistical examination using descriptive analysis and linear regression techniques. The findings show that Diverger's learning style is more common among the research subjects. Furthermore, this study also revealed that the learning style had little impact on the learning outcome (CGPA). Hence, it is imperative to undertake additional research about various elements that could impact students' academic achievements. This study's findings revealed the need to incorporate educational activities that align with different learning styles into the pedagogical approach, facilitating academic achievement for all students.
