The relation of dental students' learning styles to their satisfaction with traditional and inverted classroom models.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The authors' medical school has adopted an inverted classroom model (ICM) for physiology classes. This study aimed to determine students' learning styles and investigate the relationship between learning style and satisfaction with different instruction approaches and components of the ICM.

Methods

One hundred and twenty-one second-year dental students participated in this study, which had a 77.6% participation rate. The Kolb Learning Style Inventory, a sociodemographic questionnaire, and a satisfaction survey were administered after course completion.

Results

In both the traditional and ICM classes, most of the participants were convergers (56.9 and 54%) and assimilators (20.7 and 25.4%), and the rest of the participants were accommodators (15.5 and 12.7%)
