Abstract

Purpose of the study: Individuals learn in unique ways, influenced by their preferences, ethnic backgrounds, cultures, and personal experiences. Similarly, teaching styles are shaped by educational philosophies and subject matter, leading to potential mismatches in how knowledge is processed in the classroom. This study aimed to identify the learning and teaching styles of students and teachers, explore the alignment between them, and assess the implications for language teaching. Methodology: This descriptive quantitative study involved 166 students and 23 teachers from the Department of English Language and Literature (DELL) at the University of Southern Mindanao. Data were collected using the Strategies Questionnaires and the VARK Questionnaire for Trainers to assess learning and teaching styles. Main Findings: The study revealed that AB English Language (ABEL) students predominantly exhibited bimodal learning preferences, particularly in the aural-read/write (AR) and aural-kinesthetic (AK) modalities. DELL teachers, on the other hand, tended to favor single-modal teaching styles, with a slight visual preference. A strong match was observed between single-modal teachers and students with similar learning preferences, although kinesthetic learning was underrepresented. Teachers who were bimodal or trimodal showed a better alignment with a wider range of student learning preferences. Additionally, all-modal teachers demonstrated the most effective alignment across all VARK learning styles. Novelty/Originality of this study: This study introduces a fresh perspective on language instruction by emphasizing the importance of incorporating multiple teaching styles to match the diverse learning preferences of students. The findings suggest that creating course outlines with a variety of teaching styles is essential for fostering more effective and inclusive language learning environments, ultimately enhancing student engagement and success.

Abstract

Despite growing attention to academic procrastination and student mental health, few studies have examined how procrastination is linked specifically to depression, anxiety, and stress (DAS) among college students in the Southern Philippines—an underrepresented context in the literature. Anchored in the cognitive-behavioral theory, which posits that maladaptive behaviors like procrastination can reinforce negative emotional states, this study investigates the relationship between academic procrastination and psychological distress. Using a quantitative descriptive-correlational design, data were gathered from 796 college students selected through simple random sampling. Instruments included the academic procrastination scale and the DASS-21, both with strong reliability indices. Descriptive statistics were used to identify the severity levels of procrastination and mental health symptoms, while Pearson’s correlation coefficient examined their relationships. Most of students demonstrated moderate levels of academic procrastination. Notably, while depression was significantly correlated with procrastination, anxiety and stress showed no significant association. This suggests that procrastination may particularly intensify depressive tendencies, such as low motivation and self-worth, rather than general stress or anxiety. The high prevalence of extremely severe anxiety and moderate to severe stress signals broader psychosocial challenges among students that may not be directly linked to procrastination but still demand attention. These findings contribute to the academic discourse by contextualizing mental health and behavioral patterns in a regional student population. The study has practical implications for curriculum planners, mental health professionals, and institutional policymakers, particularly in designing support systems that address the psychological and behavioral needs of students within culturally specific frameworks.
