description: Learning styles play an important role in explaining the way a student  masters the lessons they have learned in school. This study aims to review  the dimensions of learning styles of students with attention deficithyperactivity disorder in Malaysia. The study is believed to provide  information about the learning styles of students with attention deficithyperactivity disorder in the Integration Programme. This will help the Special  Education teachers to prepare and plan effective ways of teaching that can  be tailored to students’ learning styles. Findings of the survey showed that  learning styles of students with attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder are  more likely to reflect elements of design, motivation, learning in pairs,  kinaesthetic elements and impulsive elements. The findings of this study also  indicated that the emotional element in the learning styles of these students is  more dominant, followed by perceptual, psychological and environmental  elements. Interviews with Special Education teachers showed that students  with attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder are more prone to the temperature  element, either hot or freezing cold, or the noise element. In addition, the  findings also revealed that a number of students with attention deficithyperactivity disorder tend to be more aggressive when learning activities  involved colourful visuals. It was found that the students prefer to learn in  pairs and are able to learn better in the morning and become more distracted  when studying in the afternoon. The learning style of students with attention  deficit-hyperactivity disorder is multidimensional, interconnected and  interdependent with each other.
