The present study aimed to identify the most common learning preferences among the nursing students in Saudi Arabia and to investigate the associations of certain demographic variables with the learning preferences.
All the undergraduate nursing students in the nursing college were requested to participate in this descriptive cross-sectional study. An Arabic version of the Felder-Silverman learning style model (FSLSM) questionnaire was used to examine the learning preferences among undergraduate nursing students.
A total of 56 (43%) completed questionnaires were included in the final analysis. Results of the present study indicate that the most common learning preferences among the nursing students were visual (67.9%), followed by active (50%) and sequential (37.5%) learning preferences. The verbal style was the least common learning preference (3.6%) among the nursing students. There was no association between gender and learning preferences ( > .05).
The present study concluded that the visual, active, and sequential styles are the commonest learning preferences among the nursing students. The nursing educators should emphasize the use of this information in their teaching methods to improve learning skills among the nursing students.
本研究旨在确定沙特阿拉伯护理专业学生中最常见的学习偏好，并调查某些人口统计学变量与学习偏好之间的关联。
要求护理学院的所有本科护理专业学生参与这项描述性横断面研究。使用阿拉伯语版的费尔德-西尔弗曼学习风格模型（FSLSM）问卷来调查本科护理专业学生的学习偏好。
