Introduction: Since the 1970s, Learning styles of health science students have been researched. It's important to know the Learning styles of medical students these will be rewarding for both the instructor and the student.Objectives: This study aims to determine the learning styles of the medical students at the University of Kassala. Methodology: Cross sectional descriptive study conducted between 21/3/22 to 23/8/22 at the University of Kassala. After collecting the completed questionnaires, the data was analyzed using R language software Version R i386 4.0.2. Results: Out of 251 study sample, 228 responded with Questionnaire response rate of 90.8%. Wrong filled questionnaires were excluded resulting in 206 usable survey. 66.50485 % of our participants were females, 33.49515 % were males. The average age of the participants in years was 21.71359 +/-1.933755. Reflectors (61.16505%) were the most prevalent learning style among medical students at the University of Kassala. Differences was noted in learning styles among the different sexes (p-value= 0.0371). No difference between the educational levels concerning the learning style (p-value = 0.09029). The living area does not affect the learning style (P-value = 0.3143). Conclusion and recommendations: Most of our students are reflectors, thus they prefer to watch rather than practice, they might be good at subjects that are more of watching type more than subjects that need practice. The results reveal the need to endorse self-directed learning. Further research is need to identify the most reliable teaching modality and instructional strategies.

Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on education. e-Learning has been becoming most popular. Satisfaction of the student is one of important goal of e-Learning, therefore factors affecting this satisfaction should be considered extensively. This study aims to evaluate the effect of learning style and General Self-Efficacy (GSE) on satisfaction of e-Learning in dental student. Method: Electronic questionnaires were sent to 85 fifth and sixth-year students who had passed the face-to-face orthodontics course in the previous semester and were studying online orthodontics at the time of this study. Three questionnaires were used including Soloman and Felder learning styles index, General self-efficacy questionnaire and Satisfaction questionnaire for online education. Results: The results of the reliability test showed that Cronbach’s alpha index for the self-efficacy and satisfaction questionnaire was 0.836 and 0.96, respectively. The correlation between satisfaction and the dimensions of learning style showed that the active dimension of processing information had a significant relationship with the level of satisfaction. In the understanding dimension, a relatively strong correlation was observed in the Global dimension. Moderate significant relationship between the total score of self-efficacy and the level of satisfaction has been found. Conclusion: The results of the present study highlight the necessity of more studies regarding defining effective on student satisfaction during e-Learning. GSES and active learning style in the processing dimension and global learning style in the understanding dimension affect students' satisfaction.

Objective: To determine the frequency of learning styles of medical students by using David Kolb’s learning style inventory and its association with preferred teaching methodologies. Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out among over 500 medical students of Baqai Medical College, Baqai Medical University, Gadap, Karachi, form July 2019 to October, 2019. David Kolb’s learning style questionnaire, and a 2nd questionnaire to know preference for different teaching methodologies were distributed to the students. Learning styles were identified and their association with preferred teaching methods was checked by Chi-square test. Results: The mean age of the medical students was 21.5±1.69 years. Two hundred and thirteen (40.7%) participants were males and 310 (59.3%) females. By learning styles, 268 (51.7%) medical students were divergers, 118 (22.8%) were assimilators, 86 (16.6%) were accomodators and 46 (8.9%) were convergers. A significant association was found between learning styles and selected teaching methodologies such as interactive lectures (p=0.013), small group discussion (p=0.039) and self-study (p=0.032) while problem based learning, demonstration on models, lab work, one-way lecture and student presentation were not found to be significantly associated with learning styles. Conclusion: Majority of the medical students had diverger (51.7%) and assimilator (22.8%) learning styles. The teaching methodologies of interactive lectures, small group discussion and self-study were found to be associated with learning styles. Aligning our instructional strategies with learning styles of the medical students will improve learning and academic performance.
