Do learning styles shape academic success in sports science?
NCT ID NCT07815405
First seen Sep 11, 2026 · Last updated Sep 11, 2026
Summary
Researchers surveyed undergraduate sports science students in Turkey to explore how learning styles relate to academic achievement, academic confidence, and perceptions of the educational environment. Participants completed a one-time online questionnaire that included the Kolb Learning Style Inventory III, an academic confidence questionnaire, and the Dundee Ready Education Environment Measure. The study also examined whether achievement, confidence, and environment perceptions differ by learning style preference. No treatment or intervention was given; the goal is to understand patterns that could inform teaching.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If researchers find links between learning styles and academic outcomes, sports science programs could tailor teaching methods to help students learn more effectively.
- What could go wrong
- This is a one-time survey, so it can show associations but not cause and effect. Self-reported grades and a single snapshot of students limit how much the findings can be generalised.
