Impact of learning style assessment on self-reported skills of students in an associate degree nursing program

The purpose of this pilot project was to evaluate the effectiveness of the visual, aural, reading, kinesthetic learning style assessment tool, coupled with faculty mentoring, to aid third-semester nursing students in the development of effective study skills. A convenience sample of third-semester associate degree nursing students from 2 campuses was used. The findings support the use of learning style assessment and mentoring in associate degree nursing students to facilitate effective study skills.
