Read the article below and do further research to answer the questions that follow:

Learning styles are various approaches or ways of learning. They involve educating methods particular to an individual that are presumed to allow that individual to learn best. Most people prefer an identifiable method of interacting with, taking in, and processing stimuli or information. Based on this concept, the idea of individualized "learning styles" originated in the 1970s, and acquired enormous popularity (Pashler, McDaniel, Rohrer, and Bjork, 2009). Today the traditional belief, that learning differences arise from different levels of intelligence and cognitive abilities has been changed and it is verified that learning differences arise from intelligence differences in addition to other factors such as personality characteristics, task difficulty, and learning styles (Emamepur & Shams, 2007; Yilmaz & Orhan, 2010).

According to James and Gardner (1995) learning styles are the conditions that enable learners to perceive, to process, to store, and recall the learning contents. Peirce (2000) believes that learning style is the method that people prefer over other methods in learning. It is necessary that teachers, school managers and other members of instructional teams take into account the different learning styles of students. Research results revealed that paying attention to the individual differences and learning characteristics of learners by teachers and others of instructional teams had an important role in improving the quality of learning and increasing the academic achievement of students (Safe, 2008; Tella & Adeniyi, 2009).

Additionally, researchers indicate that goal setting is essential for achievement in the learning process (Anderman, 2011). Goal setting encourages students’ self-improvement in different aspects of learning as it plays an essential component of decision making which relates to the mental processes that result in the selection of appropriate actions to make accomplishments. Therefore, in order to promote learning among students and facilitate achievement of goals, it is essential for the students to understand the concepts of goal setting theory for attaining both academic and professional success.
