65). However, some studies argue that students' learning styles are strongly rooted in their cultural context (Neuman and Bekerman, 2001; Wong, 2004). For example, countries with Confucian heritage (i.e. China, Korea, Japan, Vietnam, Singapore, etc.) typically practice an educational system that conditions students to conform and praise their submissive behavior towards authority. the greatest degree of passive resistance tends to be successful in this learning context (Rao, 2006). In other words, the authoritative, teacher-centered approach to teaching continues to flourish in an environment that values ​​and respects wisdom and knowledge (Wong, 2004). This teacher-centered teaching method results in a lack of proactive participation from students in class, as their questions may be misinterpreted as a challenge to their teachers (Chan, 1999). Wong (2004) conducted a study on the preferred learning styles of Asian international students when studying at Australian colleges. The author reported that students expressed preference for teaching and learning styles such as lecture and self-study, but were able to gradually adapt to the focus-centered approach. student (i.e., group discussion) only if teachers promoted a learning environment of cultural understanding and respect for the individual. differences and took the time to support them in their individual learning
