To delineate the learning style that best defines a successful practitioner in the field of neurosurgery by using a validated learning style inventory.
The Kolb Learning Style Inventory, a validated assessment tool, was administered to all practicing neurosurgeons, neurosurgical residents, and neurology residents employed at Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, an institution that provides primary and tertiary clinical care in 3 locations, Linkou, Kaohsiung, and Chiayi. There were 81 participants who entered the study, and all completed the study.
Neurosurgeons preferred the assimilating learning style (52%), followed by the diverging learning style (39%). Neurosurgery residents were slightly more evenly distributed across the learning styles; however, they still favored assimilating (32%) and diverging (41%). Neurology residents had the most clearly defined preferred learning style with assimilating (76%) obtaining the large majority and diverging (12%) being a distant second.
The assimilating and diverging learning styles are the preferred learning styles among neurosurgeons, neurosurgery residents, and neurology residents. The assimilating learning style typically is the primary learning style for neurosurgeons and neurology residents. Neurosurgical residents start off with a diverging learning style and progress toward an assimilating learning style as they work toward becoming practicing neurosurgeons. The field of neurosurgery has limited opportunities for active experimentation, which may explain why individuals who prefer reflective observation are more likely to succeed in this field.
通过使用经过验证的学习风格量表，确定最能定义神经外科领域成功从业者的学习风格。
向长庚纪念医院的所有执业神经外科医生、神经外科住院医师和神经内科住院医师发放经过验证的评估工具——科尔布学习风格量表。长庚纪念医院在林口、高雄和嘉义三个地点提供初级和三级临床护理。共有81名参与者进入研究，且全部完成了研究。
神经外科医生更喜欢同化型学习风格（52%），其次是发散型学习风格（39%）。神经外科住院医师在各种学习风格中的分布略为均匀一些；然而，他们仍然倾向于同化型（32%）和发散型（41%）。神经内科住院医师的首选学习风格最为明确，同化型（76%）占绝大多数，发散型（12%）位居第二。
同化型和发散型学习风格是神经外科医生、神经外科住院医师和神经内科住院医师首选的学习风格。同化型学习风格通常是神经外科医生和神经内科住院医师的主要学习风格。神经外科住院医师开始时采用发散型学习风格，并在朝着成为执业神经外科医生努力的过程中逐渐转向同化型学习风格。神经外科领域进行主动实验的机会有限，这可能解释了为什么更喜欢反思性观察的人在该领域更有可能取得成功。
