Abstract
The learner style plays a pivotal role in pedagogy. In this paper, we have presented the adoption of Felder and Silverman model to analyze the learning styles of the students and use the same in the design and delivery of data mining course. One group is found to be verbal learners and the other is visual learners. The control groups have 52 students. The experiment shows that appropriately tailoring the teaching style has resulted in better results. The results reveal that 90 % of the students scored above 70 %. Thus, we have concluded that matching the teaching style and learning style gives good result.
