A Study of Sensory Cognitive Sources (Auditory and Visual) from the Students' Perspective

Abstract

This research aimed to identify sensory (auditory and visual) knowledge sources from the students' perspective. The researcher used the descriptive survey method, as it was the most suitable approach for addressing the research problem. The research population was selected purposively and consisted of fourth-grade preparatory students at Khanaqin Preparatory School for Boys, distributed across four classes, totaling 167 students for the 2025/2026 academic year. The research sample was randomly selected by lottery, with 100 students chosen from the population, representing 59.88% of the original population. The researcher concluded:

1-The results showed a statistically significant impact of auditory-sensory learning resources, indicating a positive and significant influence among students' auditory-sensory preferences.

2- Sensory preferences varied among the participants, with students exhibiting a higher preference for visual learning, demonstrating the effectiveness of visual senses in enhancing comprehension.

3- Levels of sensory preferences differed, with students who preferred visual learning having a higher preference than those who preferred auditory learning.
