This study is designed to evaluate the difference between the first year and
the sixth year of medical faculty in Baskent University (n = 115) by using the
Turkish version of the VARK questionnaire. In this survey, VARK questionnaire,
which determines a person’s sensory modality by describing visual, aural,
read/write, and kinesthetic preference, is used. In this study, unimodal model
is the most commonly preferred learning model in the first-grade students
(75.4%), and aural type is dominant style (31.9%) changing to the multimodal
(67.4%) and mostly quad-modal learning style (17.4%) in the sixth-year students. There is no gender difference. Learning preferences can differ
among students of different faculties. Awareness on the learning preferences of
the students facilitates the learning process of the students, and also
simplifies the teaching process of the educator in developing appropriate
learning methods.
