Abstract

This study investigates the learning styles of architecture students and their relationship with personality, gender, age and academic performance over three academic years. Using Kolb's learning style inventory and the Big Five Inventory, common learning types and personalities were identified. The results show that divergers and assimilators are the primary styles, with divergers predominating in the fourth year, and assimilators in the second and third years by a small margin. Correlations between learning styles and personality reveal that switchers exhibit extraversion, openness and conscientiousness. The findings suggest that architecture instructors should take students' learning preferences into account for effective course material presentation.

Özet

Bu çalışma, mimarlık öğrencilerinin öğrenme stillerini ve bu stillerin kişilik, cinsiyet, yaş ve akademik performansla ilişkisini üç akademik yıl boyunca araştırmaktadır. Kolb'un öğrenme stili envanteri ve Beş Büyük Envanteri kullanılarak, yaygın öğrenme tipleri ve kişilikler belirlenmiştir. Sonuçlar, ayrıştırıcı ve değiştirenlerin birincil stiller olduğunu, dördüncü yılda değiştirenlerin, çok az farkla da ikinci ve üçüncü yılda ise ayrıştırıcıların öne çıktığını göstermektedir. Öğrenme stilleri ve kişilik arasındaki korelasyonlar, değiştiren öğrencilerin dışadönüklük, açıklık ve vicdanlılık sergilediklerini ortaya koymaktadır. Bulgular, mimarlık eğitmenlerinin etkili ders materyali sunumu için öğrencilerin öğrenme tercihlerini dikkate almaları gerektiğini göstermektedir.
