title: Radiography students' clinical learning styles.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To examine the common learning styles of radiography students during clinical practice.
  
  
  METHODS
  Descriptive research methodology, using a single self-report questionnaire, helped to identify common learning styles of radiography students during clinical practice.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The results indicated that 3 learning styles predominate among radiography students during clinical practice: task oriented, purposeful and tentative.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Insight into clinical practice learning styles can help students understand how they learn and allow them to recognize ways to maximize learning. It also heightens awareness among clinical instructors and technologists of the different learning styles and their relevance to clinical practice education.
