Abstract: School dropout is a topical theme in the educational field in the last decade. In the technical field especially, school dropouts currently have alarming rates. To reduce school dropout technical educational institutions, tried to apply some practical solutions like moving mathematics to the 2nd year of study, year tutors to assist/support participation in courses, remedial courses for retaking the subject from high school, etc. All these measures, act only on that aspects that are not directly related to the learning process. The recent technological progress, the students' unlimited access to the internet and information should somehow conduct teachers to adapt their teaching style to at least these aspects. But there is the possibility to directly related the learning teaching process with the student learning styles. The following learning styles can be identified: visual, auditory, touch and kinesthetic. To highlight the individual learning styles the Ricki Linksman's Learning Style Preference Questionnaire was applied to a number of 120 students in different technical domains. The results demonstrated the fact that polytechnic students have a predominantly visual learning style. Based on these results, the research will continue over the coming years with practical measures adapting the teaching style to this type of learning. The extensive research will prove that the student groups where the teaching styles were adapted to their learning styles will have an improved pass rate.
