There has been a shift in tertiary education, whereby large portions of theory are now taught online, and the practical skills underpinned by this knowledge taught in clinical environments. It is unclear if this flipped approach is appropriate for the learning styles Exercise Science (ES) and Clinical Exercise Physiology (CEP) students. First- and…

Surgical resident learning style preferences in the wake of the rapid, widespread adoption of online learning technology during and following the COVID-19 pandemic is not widely studied. This study investigated learning style preferences of surgical residents in the context of engagement in a hybrid national scientific conference. Thirty-five…

Understanding the teaching and learning paradigm is a relentless search for educators. Because individual students bring their own learning style preferences to the learning environment, teachers are asked to consider and even adjust their teaching to these preferences to improve student learning. In Kolb's (1984) experiential learning theory,…
