| Summary: | Individuals have unique ways of perceiving and organising information, which are
referred to as learning styles. By becoming informed about individual learning styles the
educator is in a better position to support the learner in the learning process.
A descriptive correlational study was done to investigate the learning styles of nursing
students at Unisa. In this research project a postal questionnaire was used to determine
their learning styles. Research data were gathered on the demographic and academic
profile of Unisa nursing students in order to determine their specific needs. Learning
styles were correlated with various constructs (academic achievement, distance teaching,
home language).
It was concluded that awareness of individual learning styles is important to assure
quality improvement in nursing education. Both learner and educator need to be
knowledgeable of learning styles and therefore a course in learning styles was designed. === Health Studies === M.A. (Nursing Science)
