Modifying instructional approaches to align with students&#39; individual learning preferences enhances their learning. The current study was carried out to investigate the learning style preferences of students studying basic medical sciences at Tabriz University of Medical Sciences.<span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"></span><br> <b>Materials & Methods:</b> This cross-sectional study was conducted from September 23, 2022, to February 10, 2023, on 230 students who were selected by the convenience sampling method. The data collection tool was a two-part questionnaire including demographic factors and the Kolb Learning Styles Scale (version 3.1). Data were analyzed through descriptive statistics, chi-square test, and one-way analysis of variance using SPSS-24.<span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"></span><br> <b><span lang="FR">Results</span><span lang="FR">:</span></b> The students had a mean age of 20.35 &plusmn; 1.85 years, with 53.9% men and 46.1% females. Dominant learning styles comprised 37.4% assimilating and 33.9% converging, comprising 71.3% of participants. Divergence and accommodation accounted for 21.7% and 7% of the remainder, respectively. No statistically significant difference was between dominant learning styles and demographic characteristics (p < 0.05).<br> <b>Conclusion:</b> People with a preference for assimilating and converging learning styles show less interest in subjects that require communication with others. Therefore, it is necessary to improve students&#39; interpersonal skills by using various educational strategies.<span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"></span></span></span></span><br> &nbsp;</div> learning style, medical students, medical education, medical sciences, case study, basic medical sciences course 75 84 http://edujournal.zums.ac.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-12-211-5&slc_lang=fa&sid=1 Gholamali Dehghani dehghani_gholamali@yahoo.com 5300319475328460033295 5300319475328460033295 Yes Medical Education Research Centre, Health Management and Safety Promotion Research Institute, Tabriz University of Medical Sciences, Tabriz, Iran Saeideh Ghaffarifar sa.ghafarifar@gmail.com 5300319475328460033296 5300319475328460033296 No Department of Medical Education, Education Development Centre, Tabriz University of Medical Sciences, Tabriz, Iran
