conclusions the findings of this study can be useful in competency development of health care management students. this approach paves the way towards effective and practical learning for these students to prepare them for opportunities in their future market job. background determination of the individual differences and students’ learning style are essential factors in the selection of proper...

Learning can take place best when the individual needs of learners such as their prior knowledge, learning styles, and cognitive traits are considered. On the other hand, if the learning environment does not support the learners’ needs, learners might have difficulties in learning. This paper shows how cognitive traits and learning styles can be incorporated in webbased learning systems by prov...

This paper looks at the role of student awareness of learning styles in helping to both reflect on those styles and to consider their role in a piece of assessed work. Entwistle’s Approaches to Study Skills Inventory for Students (ASSIST) is used in these two ways. The first is by getting the students to consider each of the learning styles suggested by ASSIST. The second is by considering whet...

This research contributes to answer the question whether learning/cognitive styles of students serve as a justified starting point for creating target-group appropriate instruction. The study was realized in a self-regulated problem-based learning environment. Data of 56 participants on their individual learning styles, their acquired problem solution and their increase in declarative knowledge...

Student modelling is an important process for adaptive virtual learning environments. Student models include a range of information about the learners such as their domain competence, learning style or cognitive traits. To be able to adapt to the learners’ needs in an appropriate way, a reliable student model is necessary, but getting enough information about a learner is quite challenging. The...

Learning styles which refer to students’ preferred ways to learn can play an important role in adaptive e-learning systems. With the knowledge of different styles, the system can offer valuable advice and instructions to students and teachers to optimise students’ learning process. Moreover, e-leaning system which allows computerised and statistical algorithms opens the opportunity to overcome ...

this study investigated language learning styles of iranian efl learners and their class achievement. to this end, sixty female ad- vanced learners of instruction and different ages (15-30), studying at a language institute in shiraz were asked to take part in the study. a 30- item language learning styles questionnaire developed by reid (1987) was employed to elicit information for the study. ...

E-learning has continued to gain the interest of enterprises and universities. As an organization’s deployed e-learning systems grow, it is important for researchers to evaluate the performance of those systems. With the growing trend toward web-based learning systems, behavioral intention models (such as TAM, TPB, TAM2 and UTAUT) seem particularly helpful to examine whether and why people use ...
