The objective of this study is to observe ideal preferred learning style among medical students and the<br>association of the academic year with the preferred learning style.<br></span><span class="fontstyle0">Study Design and Setting: </span><span class="fontstyle2">A cross-sectional study was conducted at Central Park Medical College, Lahore, Pakistan from<br>September 2021 to December 2021.<br></span><span class="fontstyle0">Methodology: </span><span class="fontstyle2">VARK learning approach was used to identify the ideal learning style. The data was collected using systematic<br>sampling from 148 medical students. The frequency distribution of various preferences of the students was given. Distribution<br>of gender and academic year across their ideal learning style was observed. The Association of categorical factors with<br>preferred style was tested using Chi-square test with a level of significance of 5%. SPSS version 26 was used for data<br>analysis.<br></span><span class="fontstyle0">Results: </span><span class="fontstyle2">About 64.8% of the students who participated in the study were female. Nearly 44.6% of the students liked the<br>single modal learning style. Approximately 58% of students prefer K-learning style. Reading was seen as least popular<br>single modal. About 7.4%% of the students liked quad/ multi-modal learning styles.<br></span><span class="fontstyle0">Conclusion: </span><span class="fontstyle2">The most preferred learning style among students was the single learning style. Among single learning styles<br>most of the students preferred kinesthetic followed by aural. The least preferred learning style was found to be quad-modal.<br>Gender and academic year were significant associated factors for preferred learning style</span> </p>}, number={03}, journal={Journal of Bahria University Medical and Dental College}, author={Minhas, Rafia and Shahid, Noor and Gulzar, Zain and Zafar, Sana and Shahzad, Shahmain}, year={2022}, month={Jul.}, pages={157–161} }
