摘要：AbstractMathematics is an essential subject in engineering studies. The ability to comprehend mathematics in themselves are very important to ensure their successes’ in other engineering subject. The student performance in mathematics is close related to the learning styles. Therefore, a study on learning behavior is very important to see the relation in between their achievement and learning styles. Thus the focus of this study is to investigate the learning styles of the fourth year engineering students towards mathematics. The factors of learning style to be investigated are formal learning approach, informal learning approach, time management and academic discipline. A formal learning approach includes habits and practices that students employ in classroom situations whereas informal ones are the learning that takes place outside the classroom. It was found that formal learning had a higher overall score, 5.02, followed by academic discipline, 5.00; informal learning, 4.85; and time management, 4.64.
