“…It is important to understand the learning styles of different students to develop a curriculum and clinical teaching strategies, thereby meeting student learning needs. 11,12 This study aims to test the null hypotheses that there are no significant differences in the preferred learning styles measured in terms of modality scores among female nursing students at different year levels in the Eastern Province, Saudi Arabia. The current research results are expected to be used to develop appropriate teaching methodologies to enhance their academic performance.…”

Objective In line with global trends, growing number of educational institutions in Saudi Arabia are developing their curricula based on the feedback and suggestions from their students to help improve the quality of teaching. This study aims to assess the differences in learning style preferences among female nursing students of Saudi Arabia. Methods This cross-sectional study included 124 female nursing students who were asked to answer the culturally adapted Arabic version of visual, aural/auditory, read/write, and kinesthetic (VARK) survey. Data were analyzed with SPSS, version 23. The Wilks' lambda or multivariate analysis (MANOVA) was used to determine the relationship between the participants' learning preferences, sociodemographic characteristics, and year of study. Results Nursing students who had visual learning preferences had a significantly different learning style as compared to those who preferred aural and kinesthetic learning (p < 0.001). On the contrary, there was not enough evidence to conclude that the same was true for students who preferred to read/write. Conclusions Further research is required to explore the relationship between learning style preferences and learning outcomes with the inclusion of a larger sample size and representatives of two genders, males and females. The findings of the current research provide the foundation for adaptive learning by identifying the individual preferences in learning among the nursing students.

“…The system is used in the education setting; however, the manual process is time consuming. There are existing studies that provides basis on the effectiveness of VARK implemented in automation [13] such as the design of learning patterns to identify learning styles [14] [15]. It offers learner various ways on how to adapt and eventually pick the most suited learning strategy available.…”

The learning style determines how learning can be optimized in content delivery. Learning style is deemed crucial for different types of age groups. It is essential, especially for individual learning achievement in different avenues of learning such as academic and in carrying tasks during employment. When learning styles are considered, the time it takes to learn is maximized, however, there are limited resources that are accessible to educators to apply identification of learning style in each class handled. This study designed an application that implements the Visual, Aural, Readiness and Kinesthetic (VARK) modality in a courseware called -E-Modality: Learning Style Assessment Tool (E-LAT). The developed courseware is intended to understand and further check the preferred learning styles of Grade 5 pupils from VARK exam to Core-Subjects of English, Math and Science. It includes different types of examinations that would determine whether the student has a bigger percentage to be a Visual, Aural, Read-based, or Kinesthetic learner. The system runs in a network-based environment and can be installed on personal computers or laptop. The functionality and accuracy tests were conducted to examine the overall system suitability and precision which proved that the system provided a similar interpretation as compared to the manual use of learning style inventory. Further, the application was evaluated by 27 experts using ISO 25010 which yields an overall mean rating of 4.67 with descriptive rating of "Excellent". The evaluation result implies that the application has attained its primary purpose to provide a learning style tool assessment.
