Abstract
Learning is defined as changes that impact on people’s knowledge in a specific field. The goal of this study is to determine learning styles of student of Health College of Arak University of medical sciences in 2012. This study was a descriptive cross sectional research that was performed on 130 students of Health College in 1391 by random sampling. To collect date, a questionnaire consisting of two sections was used. The first section was demographic questionnaire and second section was Kolb’s learning styles questionnaire. The results showed that learning style of majority of students was diverging (52.3%), accommodating (30.8%), assimilating (12.3%) and converting (4.6%) were followed. In all fields predominant style was diverging. 52.7% of occupational health, 57.1% of environmental health and 50% of public health were this style. Considering the learning style of majority of students is diverging and these students learn through group discussion and brain storming is recommended the teachers use educational methods Such as group discussion, brain storming, role playing, computerized simulation and demonstration in theoretical.
