A comparative analysis of the relationship between learning styles and mathematics performance

International Journal of STEM Education

Table 1 Descriptive statistics on the use of leaning styles in the learning of mathematics across countries (regions)

Learning style	Hong Kong		Japan		Korea		USA
Learning style	M	SD	M	SD	M	SD	M	SD
Competitive learning	510.55	86.13	452.48	116.28	494.33	93.43	542.57	97.02
Cooperative learning	497.63	91.25	427.62	101.39	422.07	88.97	529.87	113.23

Scores on use of learning styles are combined across countries (regions) and then transferred into a scale with a mean of 500 and a standard deviation of 100.
