This research aimed at investigating about the preferred learning styles and the effect of some variables such as the university branch, gender, education program, academic year, specialization, and cumulative average. To achieve that, the two researchers used the Index of learning styles (ILS) developed by Felder and Solomon (Lit zingeret al., 2005) consisting of 44 items to evaluate learning preferences, and which was applied on purpose cluster sample of (345) students.
