“…Both this study and other studies conducted on the learning styles of the prospective teachers in Turkey indicate that dominant learning style of the majority of the prospective teachers is the assimilating learning style. And in the dimensional study performed by Ozdemir et al [75] on the prospective social sciences teachers, it was found that undergraduate education did not cause a significant difference in the perception (concrete experience-abstract conceptualization) and processing (reflective observation-active experimentation) ways in the learning styles of prospective teachers and similar results were found when the variable of gender was taken as the basis. However, the researches performed abroad on this subject suggest that the dominant learning style of the ones involved in the profession of teaching is the accommodating learning style [35,76,77].…”

This study has been carried out with the aim of researching dominant learning styles of the students studying at the biology departments of the faculty of science or the faculty of arts and sciences as well as the dominant learning styles of the prospective biology teachers studying at the faculty of education of universities in Turkey, by taking certain demographics (department, faculty, gender and grade) as basis. In this context, the sample of this study consists of the students studying at the biology teaching departments of faculties of education from 5 universities in Turkey and the students studying at the biology department of science faculties or sciences and arts faculties from 8 universities. In this study, 1255 students in total volunteered to answer Kolb's Learning Styles Inventory (KLSI-3), which has been used as an assessment tool. Evaluating the findings of the study in a general sense, it has been detected that the learning style of most students is absorbing and discriminating and that the percentage distribution of the students whose learning styles are reviewing or reflecting is much lower. It has been understood that the difference between the learning styles of the prospective biology teachers and the learning styles of the biology department students in Turkey is not statistically significant. There is not a significant relationship among the learning styles of the students studying at the biology department based on their class levels, however, such a significant relationship is observed among the prospective biology teachers based on their class levels. It is observed that the relationship among learning styles and other demographics is not significant.

“…The fact that prospective teachers preparing for Public Personnel Selection Examination (KPSS) mostly study on their own, the recognition of the need for being more patient and careful in learning process, experiencing a difficult studying period due to knowing that they can become a teacher only after passing a three-stage exam, and the possibility that this process may cause prospective teachers adopt a more sensory approach may have an impact on the learning styles of the participants. Indeed, it is well-known that individuals with "diverging" learning style are inclined to become emotional, prefer individual studying when learning, and become patient and careful in learning process [22,23].…”

<p>The main aim of this study was to explore learning styles and teacher efficacy of prospective teachers, evaluate them based on department, gender, high school type and educational level of parents, and identify whether there is any relationship between teacher efficacy and learning styles. This is a descriptive study that was conducted using survey model. The study group consisted of 170 prospective teachers in the Faculty of Education, Kafkas University during the 2018-2019 academic year. Research data were gathered through “Teachers’ Sense of Efficacy Scale” and the “Kolb Learning Style Inventory”. The study came to the conclusion that prospective teachers mostly had diverging and converging learning styles while assimilating and accommodating learning styles were least preferred, their teacher efficacy was "sufficient", and teacher efficacy scores differed significantly in relation to learning styles. The study also found a significant relationship between some variables, i.e. department, gender, high school type and educational level of parents, and the prospective teachers' learning style and occupational self-efficacy level. The study discussed these findings from various aspects and proposed recommendations.</p>
