Anatomy learning profiles in relation to student motivation and academic success: A multi-center cross-sectional study.

ABSTRACT: Learning strategies encompass the diverse approaches students employ to master challenging subjects like anatomy. However, research examining these strategies in isolation remains inconclusive. Recent evidence suggests a shift toward a person-centered paradigm that considers how student subgroups combine multiple learning strategies. This study advances this paradigm and identifies Anatomy Learning Profiles (ALPs) among 567 medical and dental students across six medical faculties by analyzing 13 self-reported cognitive, metacognitive, and resource management strategies using the LIST-K questionnaire. A latent profile analysis confirmed the existence of four ALPs among the study population: Active (26%), Collaborative (20%), Structured (39%), and Passive (15%). Each profile represented a un
