 Students' learning styles and strategies during the COVID-19 pandemic have been impacted by virtual education, necessitating further investigation to provide more suitable educational content based on them. Therefore, the present study was conducted with the aim of investigating the learning styles and learning strategies used by public health students during the COVID-19 pandemic.

 This is a cross-sectional analytical study conducted in the form of a census on 81 public health students at Arak University of Medical Sciences who had completed at least one academic semester and were willing to participate in the study during the academic year 2021-2022. The data collection tools included the students' educational status questionnaire, the standard learning style questionnaire (VARK), and a 22-question standard learning strategies questionnaire by Pintrich and de Groot. Data were analyzed using Chi-2 and Mann-Whitney tests.

 The average age of the students was 22.59 ± 4.2 years, and the majority were female (84%). The average academic term of the students was 6 ± 2 semesters. According to the results, 76% of the students had a single style, with the dominant style being the listening style in 40% of boys and 33% of girls. The average score of students' self-regulated learning strategies was 86.27 ± 13.2, with 42% of students using self-regulated learning strategies at the intermediate level and 58% at the high level. A significant relationship was observed between the use of self-regulation learning guides and students' high school grade point average and probationary history (p < 0.05).

 The findings of this study can inform the design of educational content for students, enable adaptation of professors' teaching styles to students' learning preferences, and enhance teaching effectiveness in the post-coronavirus era.

Understanding how learners process and organize new experiences and acquire information is one of the critical factors affecting the effective teaching and learning. Therefore, the objective of this study was to investigate the perception and processing of information by first-year medical students.

In this cross-sectional study, the convenience sampling method was adopted to select and investigate 180 first-year medical students of Tabriz University of Medical Sciences in the 2nd semester of the academic year 2022-2023. Data were collected using a questionnaire consisting of two parts – demographic factors and Kolb's learning styles inventory (LSI). The collected data were analyzed using SPSS-25 and applying descriptive statistics, Chi-square (χ2), t-test, and one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA).

According to the results, students preferred the learning method of abstract conceptualization (33.89 ± 7.44), followed by active experimentation (29.85 ± 9.77), reflective observation (29.77 ± 8.64), and concrete experience (26.49 ± 9.32). The predominant learning styles adopted by the students were assimilating (38.3%), converging (32.2%), diverging (22.8%), and accommodating (6.7%). No significant differences were found between students' preferred learning methods and demographic variables (i.e., gender, marital status, age, and residential status) (P>0.05).

It was concluded that the dominant learning style was not an exclusive factor in predicting educational achievement. It was recommended that the teachers should take their students' learning preferences into account when designing learning opportunities.

The aim of this study was to compare the learning styles and the motivational beliefs and self-regulatory of learning in Talented and ordinary students in Ferdowsi University of Mashhad.

This research is a causal-comparative study. The statistical population of this study included all Talented and ordinary master students who studied in the academic year of 2017-2018. A total of 50 people were selected through Purposive sampling. The learning style inventory (LSI) and the Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ) were used to measure the variables.

The results of data analysis showed that there is no significant difference between the group of talented students and the group of normal students in learning styles and motivational and self-regulatory beliefs of learning (p> 0.05).

These findings can indicate the importance of paying attention to motivational structures and requirements related to learning styles for all students, regardless of their areas of talent and intelligence.

All human progress and ascent is somehow related to his learning. One of the factors affecting learning is learning style. By knowing the learning styles of students, it is possible to provide teaching appropriate to their individual style. The aim of this study was to determine the learning styles of medical students of Rafsanjan University of Medical Sciences in 2019.

The present study was a descriptive study conducted with 172 medical students of Rafsanjan Medical School in the academic year 2019. Sampling was done by census and data was collected using VARK (Visual, Auditory, Reading / Writing, and Kinesthetic) learning styles questionnaire. Data was analyzed using independent t-test, chi-square and one-way analysis of variance.

The mean age of students was 19.80±1.38 years. Out of 172 students, the frequency of single learning style was 145 (84.3%) and multiple learning 27 (15.7%). Among the individual one-on-one learning styles, listening style was the predominant style among students, which was chosen by 48 (27.9%) of students. There was a significant relationship between students' ages and different learning styles (p=0.002) so that the predominant learning style was auditory at younger ages and visual at older ages.

The predominant learning style of the students was one-on-one auditory learning style. Identifying the dominant learning styles of students and adapting it to teachers' teaching methods, and developing lesson plans based on learning styles can improve educational goals.

Considering the important role of health caregivers in the health system as providers of health services and the use of e-learning method in in-service training of this group of health workers, the present study aimed to determine the attitude of health care workers in the health network of Qods city towards E-learning and determining their learning style.

This descriptive-analytical study was performed on 77 health care providers selected by census method. The research instrument had three sections: demographic information form, Mishra attitude questionnaire and Kolb learning style. Data were analyzed using descriptive tests (frequency, mean and standard deviation) and independent t-tests and analysis of variance, chi-square, Fisher's exact test and Pearson correlation coefficient in SPSS software version 24.

The results showed that the mean score of attitudes of health care providers was 38.78 which considered positive due to being higher than the mean score of Mishra questionnaire. Learning style of 42.86% of health care providers was absorbing and then convergent styles with 29.87%, divergent with 22.08% and adaptive styles with 5.19% had the highest frequency among health care providers, respectively. There was a significant relationship between the attitude of health care providers and the type of employment and their interest in e-learning. There was also a significant relationship between health caregivers' learning style and age and work experience.

Given the positive attitude of health care providers towards e-learning, it is suggested to focus on this method in holding training courses for this group of learners, and since there were all four learning styles among this group of learners, the applications of variety of methods in educational environments can meet their educational needs.

In this study, the relationship between IQ and learning styles was investigated and for this purpose, educational personalization strategies were evaluated by identifying unknown and ambiguous relationships between the created data. In this research, to find this relationship, one of the data mining methods called exploratory association rules has been used. In this study, by designing the site and implementing it in schools, a large database was created and ambiguous relationships between demographic characteristics such as gender, aptitude and IQ, academic outcomes and interests with learning styles were discovered. Personalization of student learning has been explained. The innovation of this method compared to other methods is its dynamic aspect. By implementing the student data processing system, we can completely monitor students' activities at different times from the beginning of the study to the end.In this study, three modules were selected for the sample and the aim was to prove the use of big data in students' learning.

Critical thinking leads to motivation for learning, problem-solving skills, decision making and creativity. This study aims to Comparison of critical thinking and learning styles of researcher and non-researcher students of Gonabad University of Medical Sciences in 2017.

In This analytical-cross sectional study, The statistical population were all students of Gonabad University of Medical Sciences is studying in the first semester of the academic year 2016-2017. Sampling in this research were for non-researcher students was stratified and for researcher students by census method. The data collection tool was California Critical Thinking Questionnaire and VARKchr('39')s Learning Style Questionnaire. Data were analyzed by SPSS software version 21 using independent t-test, one way ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficient and significance level less than 0.05.

The results of this study showed that there was a statistically significant difference between the mean of critical thinking in both researcher and non-researcher students (P <0.05). Also, there was a significant relationship between the mean of learning styles in the two groups (P <0.05) except for the visual style (P >0.05).

This study showed that researcher students had higher critical thinking than non- researcher students, Also, learning styles were more active in the group of researcher students and perhaps the tendency to research activities was a factor in this. The attention of educational and research officials to encouraging students to research activities and providing ground for this, can greatly help to improving critical thinking and improving learning styles.

The factors affecting learning are very wide and it is very important to identify these factors in solving the problems in the educational system. Learning style is one of these factors. Hence, present study was conducted to identify and compare the learning styles based on the gender, the syllabus and the educational level by using cluster analysis.

This study was an applied research in its goal and a descriptive-survey study in its methodology. The study population included all the primary school students of grades 4, 5 and 6 in West Azerbaijan in the academic year 2017-2018. Among which, a sample of 1961 students (928 boys and 1033 girls) was selected by multi-stage clustering and completed VARK Learning Style Questionnaire (1998). Data were analyzed by cluster analysis and Chi-square.

The results of cluster analysis indicated five learning styles in the students, including the visual, auditory, reading/writing, kinesthetic and multiple styles. Among which, the multiple style was the most prevalent, while the auditory style was the least prevalent one. Results also showed that learning style is different according to the gender (P<0.01 ; X2=16.87) and educational level (P<0.05 ; X2=18.320), but no significant difference was found in the learning style of the students based on the syllabus.   

Based on the results of this study, students prefer using multiple learning styles. Learning styles are different based on the gender and educational level, however no significant difference was found according to the syllabus. Accordingly, identifying the learning style of the students can help teachers in teaching more efficiently and decreasing the learning problems.

Knowing the students' learning styles in the educational system and using the related teaching method with it  to teach students will facilitate the learning process and its further improving. The aim of this study was to determine the learning styles and its related factors in the students of Guilan University of Medical Sciences based on the Vermunt model. This descriptive cross-sectional research was conducted on 247 students, were selected by stratified-random sampling method in 2014-15. Data were collected by valid Vermunt learning styles Scale Contains 120 items, and then analyzed with SPSS-V.21, descriptive and inferential statistics tests (Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, Pearson correlation coefficient, analysis of variance and t-test). Mostly of students were female (90.3%) and nursing (21.5%) with a mean age of 22.89±2.54 years. The mean score of students’ learning style was 382.23±49.63 from 600 scores. The regulation strategies component (the majority decentralized control, 49.8%)and the opinions and beliefs of the learning component (the majority did not believe in acquiring and using knowledge, 57.9%)were more weaknesses in students. Also, there was no statistically significant relationship between demographic variables and learning style scores. According to the results, it is suggested that educational managers pay more attention to the weaknesses of their students and based on that teaching process be considered.

  Learning styles are one of the manifestations of individual differences and answer the question of why not all people learn in the usual way and their learning outcomes and academic status are different. The present study examined the relationship between learning styles based on club theory and academic status in resdent of dentistry,faculty  of dentistry, Tehran Medical Sciences, Islamic Azad University.

Methods and Materials:

This research was maded based on cross-sectional method. With the consent of 84 students of dental who were selected by the census method. The kolbchr('39')s standard  Questionnaire and GPA for the entire general course of study were used to collect information. By completing the questionnaire and reviewing the scores obtained by individuals, each personchr('39')s learning style was determined. Data analysis was performed by SPSS software and test (chi square and ANOVA). The study was performed on 84 dental assistants . 64.3%  women and 35.7%  men. The mean and standard deviation of studentschr('39') GPA was16/83 ± 0/239. 81.1% of people had a convergent learning style, 10.7% had an Accommodator style and 7.1% had an Assimilator style. None of the people had a divergent learning style. Examination by statistical tests did not show a significant difference between academic status and different learning styles..  Also, due to the predominance of students with convergent learning style, providing learning environments appropriate to this style, is important for  forcing students to think and scrutinize issues in teaching and learning them for better learning. And acquire or strengthen the necessary capabilities in future educational and work environments.

Planning and implementation of effective empowerment programs and using appropriate educational methods are prerequisites for empowering teachers of medical colleges. Identification of their learning styles and presentation of training courses according to them seem to be important. This study endeavored to identify the learning styles of faculty members based on Kolb theory at Mashhad University of Medical Sciences in the academic year 2018.

This was descriptive-cross sectional research. The population was 138 teachers of Mashhad University of Medical Sciences that were teaching during the 2018-2019 and were included in level one of empowerment course for educational intents. Based on the universal sampling, the population was selected as the sample. The data collection instrument was Kolbchr('39')s learning style inventory V.3.1. Data were analyzed through descriptive statistics and Chi-square and Kruskal-Wallis statistical tests.

The participation rate of teachers were 77.5%. The teacherschr('39') learning styles in order of their prevalence included: 58 assimilating (59.8%), 27 converging (27.8%), 9 diverging (9.3%), 3 accommodating (3.1%). It is not found any significant relationship between dominant learning styles (assimilating and converging) and demographic variables. There was no significant difference between learning styles in basic and clinical teachers as well.

Due to the dominant learning style, it is suggested that in empowerment courses, more lecture teaching methods, visual methods and self-study methods with reading materials be used. It should be taken into account that there will be different learning styles in the courses, each of which requires a specific teaching method. Due to the multiplicity of learning styles, various teaching methods need to be employed.

Education and learning are affected by different variables, such as learning style, which can affect educational performance and higher education output. This study aimed to evaluate the learning styles of dental students and their satisfaction with education at the dental school.

This descriptive-analytical study was performed on 109 clinical dental students in 2016-2017. After completing the Kolb learning style questionnaire, the satisfaction of students with the education at the dental school was assessed with one question scored in a range of 0-10 (from completely dissatisfied to completely satisfied). In addition, a P-value of less than 0.05 was considered significant.

In this study, the learning styles of converging (57.8%), assimilating (21.6%), diverging (12.8%), and accommodating (7.8%) were the most-to-least used styles, respectively. According to the results, no relationship was observed between the learning model and variables of gender, GPA, and academic semester. Moreover, there was no significant association between mean educational satisfaction of students (4.8±2.6) and their learning style (P=0.4).

According to the results of the present study, converging and assimilating learning styles were the most frequently applied learning models among dental students. It is recommended that problem-focused education along with lecture-based teaching be applied as a suitable training method.

Identifying the learning styles and problem-solving methods being in proportion to students' talent plays an important role in learners’ learning and, finally, improving their level of education. The purpose of this study was to compare the use of Wark's learning styles and problem-solving methods in talented students and other students. This descriptive-analytical study was conducted on 200 students of Qom University of Medical Sciences in 2017. The instruments used in this study were Cassidy and Lang problem solving style questionnaire, Wark's learning style questionnaire, and demographic information. Then, data were analyzed using SPSSv.20 software. The mean age of talent students and other students was 23.68 ± 4.4 and 23.52 ± 4.97, respectively. Moreover, there was no significant difference between two groups in terms of age (p = 0.85) and sex (p = 0.87). The average score in both talents and others was 18.52 ± 0.9 and 16.85 ± 12.2 respectively, as if it had a significant difference. Ultimately, findings revealed that the mean of problem solving style in two general domains of constructive and non-constructive problem solving was not considerably different between two groups of talent (p = 0.37) and others (p = 0.29), even though, in the learning style, there was a significant difference between the four areas of visual learning, listening, reading, and reading skills in the field of reading between the two talent groups and others (p = 0.04). Regarding the results, by determining the learning styles and problem solving in the students, it is possible to help educational groups and counselors for advancement of educational goals and enhancing their learning and other activities.

The impact of individuals’ cognitive and subjective abilities on learning is very important. But one of the effective factors on learning is learning styles and hereupon people's differences in this regard. Therefore, in order to examine the styles of learning of the medical students’ final year and its relationship with the scores of both basic sciences and pre-internships comprehensive exams and the results of the clinical competency test of the end of the general practitioner course in Tehran Islamic Azad University in academic year 2017-2018, a descriptive and Correlation study was carried out on 270 medical students who were selected by available method. The data collection tool was a demographic questionnaire and Kolbe's learning style questionnaire (1999). Accordingly, reliability of the questionnaire was confirmed by Cronbach's alpha; and also by SPSS22 software and using bivariate linear and logistic regression, the relationship between dimension and research variables were examined from respondents' point of view. The results showed the positive relationship between abstract conceptualization variables, reflective observation and objective experience with comprehensive exams of basic sciences and pre-internships of the general practitioner course. Finally, the abstract conceptual variable revealed the highest ability to predict students' reject / acceptance in clinical competency test (p <0.05). Ultimately, awareness of the student's learning style is useful both for the learner and for the trainer, and can lead the learner successful in this regard.

The current study was conducted to determine the relationship between learning style and EBP. In a cross sectional- correlational study, 65 individuals of clinical assistance were recruited to the study as stratified random and proportional assignment. The tools were learning style of Vark scale and evaluation of knowledge and attitude towards evidence-based performance. Data were collected by referring of the researcher to the hospitals and offering the questioners to subjects and completing by them, thereafter data were analyzed by SPSS software. The dominant learning style was one-mode (75%) of auditory style with frequency percent of (49.2%). The attitudes (67.7%) of the clinical assistance regarding EBP were positive and 43.1% of them had an appropriate level of EBP. The chi square test showed a significant relationship between awareness and EBP (P=0.01), as well as between attitude and EBP (P<0.001). There was no relationship among EBP and learning style (P=0.639). With increasing the awareness level, and positive attitude, EBP level was raised in clinical assistances, so, it is essential to provide some systematic and disciplined educational programs about EBP.

The purpose of this study was to explain learning style appropriate to the development of emotional intelligence in preschool. The research method is synthesis. The statistical population of the study consisted of all documents, articles, academic books, dissertations, scientific resources and scientific databases related to the components of EQ-based curriculum development. Accordingly, 18 articles were selected as sample. The sampling method of these documents was purposeful. In this sampling, the researcher selects relevant and relevant documents based on the indicators that he / she considers and the knowledge or experience of the subject. Methods of data collection were collected through library and field research methods. The instrument for data collection in the documentation section is capture; the method of analysis is based on open, selective / axial triple coding based on grounded theory or grounded theory. Findings showed that EQ-based learning styles were: skill-based learning - nature-based learning style - visual learning style - tactile learning style - auditory learning style - group-based learning style - child-centered learning style- Child-centered learning style - Collaborative learning style - Group-based learning style - View-based learning style - Vulnerability-based learning style - Play-based learning style - Art-based learning style - Creative learning style - Subject-based learning style. Research results can be used to nurture and enhance childrenchr('39')s emotional intelligence.

Due to the different learning styles in learners, it is better for teachers to determine the learning styles of learners and to adopt appropriate teaching methods based on the characteristics of each style. In this study, project-oriented assignments were designed as a suitable approach with an absorbing and converging learning style in teaching emergency medicine lessons to the operating room students and its impact on learning style was determined. In a study with the control group, the project-oriented assignment design steps were extracted based on the project-oriented learning criteria derived from the literature review. Then, project-oriented assignments were presented in the classroom to the 34 undergraduate operating room students (10 subjects in the intervention group and 24 subjects in the control group) participating in the study. The Kolb's Learning Style Questionnaire was used before and after the completion of the course to measure the students' learning styles. There was no significant difference in terms of learning style change between the group presenting the project and the group attending the class and participating in the discussion (P > 0.05). Moreover, despite the fact that the mean scores of learning styles in both groups (project presenter and discussion participator) increased in all the modes, the difference between before and after training were insignificant in both groups (P > 0.05). Project-oriented assignment design can be implemented for the operating room students as a teaching method compatible with the absorbing and converging learning style. Learning style is a habitual behavior and it seems that a change in the type of learning style in the short term cannot be achieved. Further studies with greater sample size, less limitations and frequent measurements are recommended.

Evidence-based performance requires that Clinical staff in different areas of teaching, clinical and management learn the skills of using the evidence from the research and apply these. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between learning style and evidence-based performance in nurses working in Kermanshah hospitals. This study was performed on 319 nurses working in hospitals affiliated to Kermanshah University of Medical Sciences in 2015 by stratified random sampling and proportional assignment. The data gathering tool in this research was questionnaires include: the learning style of VARK, Evidence-based performance and demographic data form. Validity and reliability of the VARK learning style questionnaire have been confirmed in the country and abroad.
Validity of evidence-based performance questionnaire was confirmed through content validity and the test-retest method was used to determine the reliability of this questionnaire. Data analysis was performed using the VARK learning style analytical tool in Excel, Spearman correlation and Chi-square tests. The learning style of single-mode template (84.1%) and hearing-type with relative frequency (46.3%). Knowledge about evidence-based performance (53.2%) was moderate in nurses Attitude (52.6%) of people was positive about evidence-based performance. The evidence-based practice nurses (57/8 %) were nearly desirable level. There was no significant relationship between nursing learning styles and evidence-based performance (p = 0.926). Nurses have different learning styles. The development of Effective educational methods adapted to the learning style will help increasing their evidence-based performance by increase nursing awareness. Principled and systematic training to raise awareness and improve attitudes toward evidence-based performance and Nursing education also seems to be essential in terms of the concepts of evidence-based practice, scientific and workshop training, and the creation of facilities.
