Conference Object Citation - WoS: 19Citation - Scopus: 24Determining Learning Styles of Engineering Students To Improve the Design of a Service Course(Elsevier Science Bv, 2011) Ictenbas, Burcu Devrim; Eryilmaz, HandeStudents learn in different ways and instructors must design their courses to meet the needs of those students. The purpose of this study is to determine learning styles of engineering students at Atilim University for a service course. A VARK questionnaire was administrated to the students who were enrolled in this course and learning styles of these students from different departments were determined and compared. This will provide a guide for instructors to improve their courses offered to different engineering departments based on the determined student learning styles. (C) 2011 Published by Elsevier Ltd.Article Citation - Scopus: 5Flipped Learning Model - Learning Style Interaction: Supporting Pre-Service Teachers on Science Teaching Methods and Personal Epistemologies(International Council of Associations for Science Education (ICASE), 2022) Cam,A.; Arslan,H.O.; Cigdemoglu,C.This study revealed how the flipped learning model interacted with the learning styles of primary pre-service teachers. In addition, the impact of the flipped model on participants' science teaching course achievement and personal epistemologies was investigated. A mixed-method research design was conducted with 27 primary pre-service teachers enrolled in a Science Teaching Course. The flipped classroom model was applied for 15 weeks. The Kolb Learning Style Inventory was distributed to categorize participants under learning styles. Midterm and final exam scores were used as an indicator of course achievement and compared with 30 primary pre-service teachers' achievement from the previous semester. Lesson plans of the participants were analyzed qualitatively to investigate the personal epistemologies of the participants. Analysis indicated that flip learning environment supported "divergers" more than the others on course achievement. The level of sophistication on personal epistemologies changed across learning styles and the method of teaching differed across learning styles. Further studies need to be conducted to reveal how teacher education programs help pre-service teachers improve personal epistemologies and transfer them to their instruction. © 2022 Journal of Open Humanities Data.
