Nursing students' learning styles did not significantly impact their ability to create concept maps. Further qualitative analysis explored students' preferences for concept mapping activities.

Area of Science:

  • Nursing Education
  • Educational Psychology

Background:

  • Learner preferences vary, influencing educational outcomes.
  • Concept mapping is a key skill in nursing education.
  • The relationship between learning style and concept mapping aptitude requires investigation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine if learning style preference predicts nursing students' aptitude for creating concept maps.
  • To explore the connection between diverse learning styles and concept map proficiency.

Main Methods:

  • 120 undergraduate nursing students completed a Learning Style Survey and created a concept map.
  • Concept map grades and course performance were analyzed.
  • Qualitative thematic analysis was used for survey data.

Main Results:

  • No statistically significant difference was found between learning style preferences and concept map grades.
  • Qualitative data provided insights into student preferences for concept mapping.

Conclusions:

  • Learning style preference alone does not appear to be a predictor of concept mapping aptitude in this cohort.
  • Further research can explore pedagogical strategies to support concept map development across different learning styles.
