Abstract

This research aims to identify the learning styles in nursing university students through a quantitative study. The type of study is descriptive, prospective, and cross-sectional, with a population of 375 students chosen by census. They completed the Learning Styles sur vey, and their answers were analyzed through descriptive statistics. The results show that the students have a very high preference for a theoretical style and a low preference for a reflective one. It indicates that preferences are associated with the styles of “concrete experiences”,  “abstract conceptualizations”  and  “active  experimentation”,  but  they  are  not   linked to “reflective observation”.
