Silver, Hanson & and Strong’s learning style model (1980) had 25 horizontal rows and 4 vertical rows in which four behavior describers have been mentioned. Confirmatory factor analysis was used to survey factorial validity of the questionnaire. Indices of fit goodness in this research were AGFI = 0.86, GFI = 0.90, RMESA = 0.9, x2 = 556.72. These results suggested that questionnaire structure had an acceptable fitness with the data and confirmed all of the fit goodness indices of the mode and indicated the optimal fitness of the questionnaire. The reliability of the questionnaire was attested using Cronbach's alpha (0.74) Given the results of this study it can be stated that the developed learning style questionnaire can be a reliable and valid instrument in assessing the learning styles.
