“…Furthermore, the multimodal mode represents only 1.5%. 31 Also, the study results differed from two studies that were performed among Egyptian nursing students. The first study involved 641 students from the Faculty of Nursing, Assiut University, and concluded that the highest percentage of students preferred the unimodal learning styles (kinesthetic/tactile learning style, followed by visual learning style and then auditory learning style).…”

Background: During the COVID-19 era, the educational system was modified to include blended learning, using a multi-delivery mode to optimize outcome and have the best program delivery cost. Identifying students' learning styles (LS) is an important factor that contributes to scholastic accomplishment, resulting in a more satisfying learning. Objectives: To describe the learning style preferences among medical students at Ain Shams University; to investigate the associations between LS and academic achievement; and lastly, to determine whether preclinical and clinical students differ in their LS. Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted among a sample of 262 students using a self-administered questionnaire including socio-demographic data, academic achievement, and the Barsch Learning Styles Inventory. Results: The unimodal pattern of learning was the most prevalent style among surveyed students; about half of them used the unimodal visual style (49.6%) while the trimodal style was the least (0.8%). The most reported preferred educational materials include the private lessons summary (64.8%) and the faculty books (61.4%). The most frequently reported educational source was recorded audios (82.4%). The LS preference did not differ between preclinical and clinical students. Conclusion and recommendations: The unimodal visual style was the predominant among surveyed students. Age, gender, academic year, study hours, and LS explain 59% of the variation in academic performance. Education and training in medicine need innovative ideas that match the students' styles. Educators should create a conducive atmosphere for learning and use methods of delivery that appeal to the senses using visual aids and materials to accommodate different learners.

Study design and setting: This is a cross-sectional survey which was conducted among medical students of Wah Medical College, Wah Cantt, for a duration of three months i.e. May 15th, 2023 to August 15th, 2023. Methodology: 271 students meeting the inclusion criteria were selected using the convenience sampling technique. Our data collection instrument was a questionnaire which consisted of two portions. The first portion was about the sociodemographic profile of the participants and the second portion consisted of the VARK questionnaire. Data was analysed using SPSS (version 23). The chi-square test was applied to determine the associations. A p-value less than 0.05 was considered significant. Results: A total of 271 students submitted the questionnaire with a mean age of 20 ± 1.7 years. The majority were female (62.4%). Kinesthetic learning was opted by 60.5% of students while quad-modal, tri-modal and bi-modal learning was opted by 35.1%, 33.2% and 31.7% of students respectively. The difference in learning styles used by students of varied clinical exposure was established (p=0.01). Conclusion: The most preferred learning style was kinesthetic and the majority of the students used quad-modal learning. It is also concluded that there is a difference in learning styles used by students in the pre-clinical and clinical years of medical education.
