Description
Adel Mohamed Aboregela, writing alone, surveys how medical students prefer to learn and whether it tracks their grades, in a 2023 study. The setting is a Saudi medical college running an integrated, problem-based curriculum. Sixty-four fourth-year students answered a questionnaire based on the VARK model, which sorts learners into visual, aural, reading and writing, and hands-on types.
Hands-on learning dominated: over ninety percent favored it, alone or in blends. Most students were bimodal, mixing two styles, with aural plus hands-on the leading pair. Grade averages did not differ significantly across style groups or blends. Some styles correlated with each other, but none correlated with grades. The author concludes the problem-based curriculum suits many styles at once, while advising continued monitoring as cohorts change.
