Gen Z is known as the digital natives, Generation 2020, iGen, Gentech, Gen Wii and also the Net Gen. Regardless of the terms, one clear characteristic of this generation is that they are born with technology which brings about a big change in the teaching and learning process. In an effort to provide an appropriate learning environment to the students, it is important to determine an approach that best suits the type of learners involves. Learners are generally categorized in 3 types that are visual, auditory and kinesthetic. At times geographical setting and the locality of the students do influence on their behaviours regardless of which generation they belong to. This study is carried out with the aim of determining the learner type of Gen Z students at a private university college in Malaysia in an effort to confirm popular literature which categorizes Gen Z students as kinesthetic learners. A total of 375 questionnaires consists of 30 items were distributed. However, only 305 were analysed. Based on the finding, interestingly contrary to the literature, it was found that most of the students fell under the visual learners instead of kinesthetic where 34.2% were identified as visual learners, 28.3% as kinesthetic learners while 28% were auditory learners. The remaining 7.9% were found to have two or more traits of learner style, either AV, AK, VK and the rest 2.3% had all the three traits. The findings also showed that the year Gen Z where born has a significant association to the learner style. It is recommended that further research may venture into the cultural background of the students, as different educational, cultural background and upbringing may induce such outcome. These findings may suggest the teaching approach that needs to be applied has to be culturally bias regardless of the universal Gen Z characters learning requirements.
