A study of learning style preferences of medical technology and physical therapy students.
Instruments designed by Kolb, Canfield, and Rezler-French have been used to measure the learning style preferences of students in several health fields. The majority of students in these fields prefer learning in concrete, active experimentation, and teacher-structured formats. Using the Rezler-French instrument the learning preferences of medical technology (MT) and physical therapy (PT) students were studied. It was found that their first preference was on the concrete scale and that their second preference was on the teacher-structured scale.
