Abstract
Identifying effective factors in learning is one of the important issues considered by researchers. The aim of this study was to determine nursing and midwifery students’ learning styles in Tabriz University of Medical Sciences. In a descriptive study performed in 2005, 250 nursing and midwifery students were selected by census sampling method. The research tool was David A. Kolb’s learning style inventory including 12 questions which was distributed and collected as group administered. The analysis of data based on LSI guide was done by SPSS. The majority of nursing and midwifery students were converger (54.2%). Also, 32.1, 7.5 and 6.2% of them were assimilator, accommodator and diverger, respectively. Considering the use of converger and assimilator learning styles among students, it is recommended that faculty members use visual method, diagrams, teacher’s handouts, lecture and self-learning methods.
