There are different learning styles adopted by medical education participants. The aim of this study is to investigate which learning styles and approaches are preferred to be learnt by medical students.
It is a cross-sectional study; 320 students were selected through stratified random sampling. Visual, auditory, read/write, and kinesthetic questionnaire was used which measures dimension of learning styles and approaches.
Majority of medical students have preferred (32%) for Kinesthetic modality; 26% for Aural; Visual 21% and Reading/Writing 21%. The majority (53%) preference for Bimodal modality; 41% for Unimodal; 5% for Trimodal and 1% for Multimodal.
Medical education participants commonly used kinesthetic styles, and there is no difference among different year of study; but, in learning approach, multimodal has increased as year of studying increased. It suggests that curriculum of medical education should be revised according to result of research.
医学教育参与者采用不同的学习方式。本研究的目的是调查医学生更喜欢哪种学习方式和方法。
这是一项横断面研究；通过分层随机抽样选择了320名学生。使用了视觉、听觉、读/写和动觉问卷来测量学习方式和方法的维度。
大多数医学生更喜欢动觉学习方式（32%）；听觉学习方式占26%；视觉学习方式占21%；读/写学习方式占21%。大多数人（53%）更喜欢双模式学习方式；单模式学习方式占41%；三模式学习方式占5%；多模式学习方式占1%。
医学教育参与者普遍使用动觉学习方式，不同学习年份之间没有差异；但是，在学习方法上，随着学习年份的增加，多模式学习方式有所增加。这表明医学教育课程应根据研究结果进行修订。
