Abstract

In learning, as a complex process, there is an interaction among the student’s motivation, teacher, learning material and several other factors. Today, the traditional classroom teaching is replaced with virtual environments where different issues about learning should be considered. The role of personal learning style is very important for learning process and outcome. This study aims at determining the students’ predominant learning style in e- learning training and presence training. 80 postgraduate students studying at Shiraz University of Medicine Sciences were divided into two equal groups and trained in two distinct methods, presence training and e-learning. They filled a questionnaire based on Kolb's learning style. Most of the students in the e-learning group had converger learning style. Therefore, lecturers should use various teaching methods at universities to provide a learning opportunity for students to experience them.
