Abstract This study explores the differences in learning styles between school students taught in traditional classrooms and those educated in smart classrooms. The research aimed to assess how learning environments influence students' preferred learning styles. A total of 50 students from various schools in Pudukkottai district participated in the study, with 25 students from smart classrooms and 25 from traditional classrooms. The study employed a purposive sampling technique. The Learning Style Scale developed by O’Brien (1985) was used to assess students' learning preferences. Data analysis was conducted using IBM Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) 16.0. Descriptive statistics, including mean and standard deviation, were calculated, and an independent t-test was performed to compare the learning styles of the two groups. Two hypotheses were formulated to examine the relationship between classroom type and learning style. The findings indicated no statistically significant difference between the learning styles of students in smart classrooms and those in traditional classrooms. This suggests that while smart classrooms integrate technology into teaching, they may not necessarily alter students' fundamental learning preferences. The results highlight the need for further research to determine whether other factors, such as teaching methodologies, student engagement, or cognitive abilities, play a more significant role in shaping learning styles. The study contributes to the ongoing discourse on the effectiveness of technology-driven education and its impact on student learning.
Keywords Learning styles, smart classroom, traditional classroom, educational technology, student engagement, statistical analysis, teaching methodology.
