Abstract
Purpose: Learning style plays a crucial role in the education process and academic performance. However, there exists no study investigating the academic performance and attitudes towards e-learning according to the learning styles of Turkish physiotherapy students in distance education. Therefore, this study aimed to compare academic performance and attitudes towards e-learning according to the learning styles of Turkish physiotherapy students in distance education.
Methods: The study was designed as a cross-sectional study type. Physiotherapy students were divided into 4 groups according to learning styles (visual, n=39, auditory, n=30, tactile, n=37, and kinesthetic, n=30). Their attitudes towards e-learning including the tendency to use technology (TUS), satisfaction, motivation, and usefulness were assessed with the Attitude Scale Towards e-learning (ASTE). Academic grade point averages (AGPA) of the 2020-2021 academic year fall semester were recorded.
Results: The visual group had the highest AGPA (p
