Year: 2025
Type: article
Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: This study aimed to investigate the preferred learning styles of sports students in higher education in Algeria. Using the Felder-Silverman model, which categorizes learning styles into four dimensions: active-reflective, visual-verbal, sensing-intuitive, and sequential-global, the research also examined differences in learning styles based on specialization, academic level, and diploma. The research involved 268 students from the Sports Institute in Setif, and the data were analyzed using SPSS version 28. The findings revealed a predominant preference for the visual learning style, followed by the sensing and sequential styles. No significant differences were found in learning styles according to specialization. However, significant differences were observed between groups based on academic level and diploma, and the study recommended creating training courses for teachers that adopt modern methods and encourage them to consider the learning styles of each student.
