Characterized by early Internet exposure, Gen A's learning preferences and behavioral patterns are different from previous generations. The study aimed to investigate the impact of learning styles and teaching styles on the learning engagement of Generation Alpha students. It sought to (1) determine their learning styles, (2) assess their teachers’ teaching styles, (3) examine their learning engagement, (4) whether there is a significant difference in the learning engagement when grouped according to learning styles, and (5) examine if there is a significant difference in the learning engagement when grouped according teaching styles. Using a descriptive-comparative research design, the data was obtained from 100 Gen A students. Data was analyzed using descriptive statistics such as mean, standard deviation, and ANOVA. Results revealed that Gen A students utilize the visual learning style the most, are more Behaviorally Engaged, and perceive the Facilitator or Activity Style as the most used by teachers. ANOVA results conclude that there is a statistically significant difference in student engagement among different learning style groups. Visual learners exhibit significantly higher engagement than others. Teaching styles also have a significant influence on student engagement with the Facilitator and Delegator styles resulting in higher engagement. The study concluded that both learning styles and teaching styles have significant influence on students' engagement. Additionally, teacher training programs should prioritize addressing diverse learning styles to optimize engagement and learning. Thus, recognizing the influence of teaching styles on student engagement can lead to more dynamic and inclusive learning environments for a new generation of learners.
