Faculty and students in dietetics programs show different learning styles. While faculty expertise influences their learning preferences, student career choices do not significantly correlate with theirs.

Area of Science:

  • Dietetics Education
  • Learning Style Research
  • Higher Education Pedagogy

Background:

  • Understanding learning styles is crucial for effective pedagogy in dietetics.
  • Coordinated programs in dietetics train future nutrition professionals.
  • Variations in learning styles may exist between educators and learners.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate and compare the learning styles of faculty and senior students in coordinated dietetics programs.
  • To examine if faculty learning styles differ based on their area of expertise.
  • To determine if student learning styles correlate with their intended career paths.

Main Methods:

  • A survey was administered to 108 faculty members and 324 senior students.
  • The survey included a standardized Learning Styles Inventory.

  • Chi-squared analysis was employed to compare learning styles with demographic and career variables.

    • Main Results:

    • Significant differences in learning styles were observed between faculty and students (P=.006).
    • Faculty learning styles varied significantly across different areas of expertise (P=.037).
    • No significant association was found between student learning styles and their anticipated career choices.

    Conclusions:

    • Learning style differences between dietetics faculty and students warrant pedagogical consideration.
    • Faculty learning styles are influenced by their specialization, suggesting tailored teaching approaches may be beneficial.
    • Student career aspirations in dietetics are diverse, with a notable trend towards non-clinical roles.
