	%X The generation of an idea that goes through several 
phases is affected by individual factors, interests, preferences and 
motivation. The purpose of this research was to analyze the 
difference in difficulties of generating ideas according to individual 
learning styles. A total of 375 technical students from four technical 
universities in Malaysia were randomly selected as samples. The 
Kolb Learning Styles Inventory and a set of developed questionnaires 
were used in this research. The results showed that the most dominant 
learning style among technical students is Doer. A total of 319 
(85.1%) technical students faced difficulties in solving individual 
assignments. Most of the problem faced by technical students is the 
difficulty of generating ideas for solving individual assignments. 
There was no significant difference in difficulties of generating ideas 
according to students’ learning styles. Therefore, students need to 
learn higher order thinking skills enabling students to generate ideas 
and consequently complete assignments.
