The present study intended to identify the learning style of pre-service teachers and to analyse the learning styles of pre- service teachers with reference to their demographic variables such as gender, subject specialisation and state of their residence. The study was carried out with 329 pre-service teachers who were enrolled for their bachelor of education programme at various institutions of Tamil Nadu and Telangana. To analyse the preferred learning style of the pre-service teachers, the VAK inventory, developed and standardised by, was used. The findings of the present study reveal that visual learning is the most preferred learning style among the pre-service teachers, followed by auditory and kinaesthetic learning styles. Furthermore, there was no significant difference in learning style based on gender or subject specialisation; however, the pre-service teachers differed in their learning style based on their region. However, there are variations across different learning styles, highlighting the need for a mixed approach that integrates visual, auditory and kinaesthetic learning styles. This will ensure that all the students, regardless of their preferred learning style, can learn effectively based on their strengths.
