Horton DM, Wiederman SD, Saint DA. Assessment outcome is weakly correlated with lecture attendance: influence of learning style and use of alternative materials. Adv Physiol Educ 36: 108–115, 2012; doi:10.1152/advan.00111.2011.—The relation between lecture attendance and learning is surprisingly weak, and the role of learning styles in this is poorly understood. We hypothesized that 1) academic...

The learning styles of students vary both among individuals and across different disciplines they choose to study. In higher education, academic discipline appears be a key factor influencing students’ distinctive styles. This study, which aims determine the dominant models talented pre-service teachers, was designed with survey model. study group research consisted 1019 volunteer teachers who ...

BACKGROUND AND AIM: Individual’s learning style determines the mechanism of processing, internalization, and retention of new information. The higher education centers and professors need information and conformity to various learning styles to help students learn effectively. In addition, researchers believe that learning styles are one of the factors responsi...

BACKGROUND Identifying and employing appropriate learning styles could play an important role in selecting teaching styles in order to improve education. OBJECTIVES This study aimed to determine the relationship between learning styles preferences and gender, educational major and status in first year students at Isfahan University of Medical Sciences. PATIENTS AND METHODS A cross-sectional...

One of the most serious challenges that dental educators face today is improving the level of student satisfaction with the curriculum and learning environment. To determine whether a particular teaching method might enhance student satisfaction with the learning process, a learning preference survey linked to sensory modalities was given to students in the four classes of the Temple University...

The authors reviewed 70 recent studies focused on adaptive systems and content intended to address individual student differences. The authors differentiated between adaptivity as a programming intervention and adaptability as a learner-controlled modification to one of the provided parameters of the instruction. Learner control was observed in 23 of the models. The majority of the studies revi...

This paper provides an exploratory study on the relationship between learning preferences of systems engineering graduate students and delivery methods of systems engineering coursework. We begin by providing an overview of learning in the systems engineering context, followed by two central research questions that guide the rest of the paper. Our study is focused on measuring learning preferen...

Students have learning style preferences that are often classified according to their visual (V), aural (A), read-write (R), and/or kinesthetic (K) sensory modality preferences (SMP). The purposes of this investigation were to compare student perceived and assessed SMPs and examine the associations between those SMPs and status (i.e., undergraduates vs. graduates), sex, and course performance. ...
