Özet: The student-centered approach in medical and health sciences education makes the study of learning preferences important. In this study, it was aimed to determine the learning preferences of students of SANKO University, interdisciplinary, inter-class and gender differences. In addition, the differences between successful and non-successful learning styles of these students were investigated. In this cross-sectional study, SANKO University Faculty of Health Sciences, Department of Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation, Nutrition and Dietetics, Nursing and Faculty of Medicine students were included. In order to determine the preferred learning preferences, VARK (Visual, Auditory, Read-write, Kinesthetic) questionnaire were used. 851 students were included in the study (169 (19.9%) were in Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation, 193 (22.7%) in Nutrition and Dietetics, 192 (22.6%) in Nursing, 297 (34.9%) in Faculty of Medicine). There was no difference between disciplines in terms of learning preferences (p = 0.081). The highest rate of kinesthetic learning was preferred in all departments. There was no difference in learning preferences according to gender (p = 0.106). It was observed that the highest rate of kinesthetic learning was preferred in male and female students. The Faculty of Medicine (p = 0,202), Department of Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation (p = 0,373), Department of Nutrition and Dietetics (p = 0,165) and Nursing Department (p = 0,514) were not found any difference in learning preferences in terms of students' classes. As a result; we anticipate that students' learning preferences will be used as an important data in increasing the quality of education for SANKO University educators.
