Individuals develop different techniques and abilities for learning. Kolb identifies four learning orientations that individuals emphasize: abstract conceptualization, concrete experience, active experimentation and reflective observation. If learning orientations affects the efficiency in which students learn ERP systems in higher education are examined in this study. This is examined through ...

BACKGROUND Several studies indicate that doctors who work in the same area of the medical profession tend to behave somehow similarly. Thus, it has been suggested that personality relates to the medical specialty choice. However, it is not known whether people self-select into the medical specialties according to their personality or the professional practice in a particular field influences th...

Background and Purpose of the Study: Students have different styles of learning which can be part of the reason why some students do not learn adequately despite prominent professors. The present research assists students to come to know the different aspects of their personality go for the right learning and studying styles and be high-achievers in studies. Considering the significance of lear...

The idea that learners can have styles of learning derives from the work of Kolb, which stems from an inadequate theory of learning behaviour. Learning might better be placed within the context such as the knowledge creation cycle of Nonaka and Takeuchi. However this too has its epistemological problems. An alternative knowledge creation cycle is proposed that results in an alternative conceptu...

background and purpose: learning style is the processing of information and comprehension. if teachers present contents in a style that matches a student’s preferred learning style, academic performance and success will improve. if content retention improves it will result in an increase in the test scores. it is also important to determine if students, as a group, fit into a particular style o...

The curriculum of our medical school has a hybrid structure including both traditional training (lectures) and problem-based learning (PBL) applications. The purpose of this study was to determine the learning styles of our medical students and investigate the relation of learning styles with each of satisfaction with different instruction methods and academic achievement in them. This study wa...
