Understanding students’ learning styles and adapting instructional strategies to the variety of student learning styles are determinants for effective learning and enhance learning performance. Using Kolb’s learning style inventory (LSI) and demographic questions, this study assesses the learning styles of undergraduate logistics university students by identifying their dominant learning style and by exploring whether students’ demographic factors influence their learning styles. To this end, a cross-sectional survey involving 429 undergraduate logistics university students in South Africa was conducted. The results show that accommodating learning style as the most predominant learning style among undergraduate logistics university students, followed by students with assimilating learning style. The combined proportion of these two groups of students represents more than two-thirds of the sampled population. The study’s findings show that gender and learning styles were significantly related. While the majority of male logistics students displayed the diverging learning style, their female counterparts exhibited the converging learning style. On the other hand, learning styles and age group; learning styles and type of high school attended; and learning styles and nationality were found not to be related. This study has implications for practice and extends the literature on learning styles and demographic factors in the unexplored logistics discipline.

使用科尔布学习风格清单评估物流专业本科生的学习风格:横断面调查

了解学生的学习风格并根据各种学生学习风格调整教学策略是有效学习和提高学习绩效的决定因素。这项研究使用Kolb的学习风格清单(LSI)和人口统计学问题,通过确定他们的主导学习风格并探讨学生的人口统计学因素是否影响他们的学习风格,来评估物流专业本科生的学习风格。为此,对南非的429名物流专业大学生进行了横断面调查。结果表明,在后勤本科生中,以学习方式为最主要的学习方式,其次是具有同化学习方式的学生。这两组学生的总和占抽样人口的三分之二以上。这项研究的结果表明,性别和学习方式之间存在显着相关。虽然大多数物流专业的男生表现出不同的学习风格,但女物流生却表现出趋同的学习风格。另一方面,学习方式和年龄段;学习方式和就读高中的类型;与学习风格和国籍无关。这项研究具有实践意义,并扩展了有关未开发物流学科的学习风格和人口统计学因素的文献。虽然大多数物流专业的男生表现出不同的学习风格,但女物流生却表现出趋同的学习风格。另一方面,学习方式和年龄段;学习方式和就读高中的类型;与学习风格和国籍无关。这项研究具有实践意义,并扩展了有关未开发物流学科的学习风格和人口统计学因素的文献。虽然大多数物流专业的男生表现出不同的学习风格,但女物流生却表现出趋同的学习风格。另一方面,学习方式和年龄段;学习方式和就读高中的类型;与学习风格和国籍无关。这项研究具有实践意义,并扩展了有关未开发物流学科的学习风格和人口统计学因素的文献。
