Adolescents are young people aged between 10 and 19. Their growth and development is a crucial element as they transition to adulthood. Benchmarking on the structure of education in Nigeria, most adolescents fall within the secondary education cadre where they are exposed to learn and acquire affective, behavioural and cognitive skills, commonly referred to as the ABC of learning. However, the extent of what adolescents learn and how they learn has become undefined in a way that can influence practice and teaching. This study presents the results of research done to investigate the new trends and expectations in adolescent development in learning and secondary education. Data were collected from late adolescents across the study area in Lagos State who, were enrolled in approved senior secondary schools within the study area. The multi-stage sampling technique was adopted using a hybrid of three techniques: purposive sampling, quota, and random sampling to select the final sampled schools. A total of 674 copies of the questionnaire were administered by hand during the first term of the 2018/2019 academic session. A total of 488 were analysed using descriptive statistics. The result showed that adolescents in the study area were predominantly auditory learners; they learn through lesson discussion and prefer to listen in class. This study has reiterated that adolescents love learning and are not lay back. They can be well cultured and groomed when learning is best suited and presented to align with their learning styles as against a one-fit-all approach to teaching instruction in the classroom
