摘要：Purpose:The Professional Graduate Medical School (PGMS) was established in 2003 in South Korea to train doctors that had better humanities and various educational backgrounds. By comparing the learning styles between students of the Medical College (MC) and PGMS,we investigated the characteristics of these students. Methods:The Kolb Learning Style Inventory (LSI) is used to determine learning preferences. It is composed of 12 statements on concrete experience,reflective observation,abstract conceptualization,and active experimentation. Six hundred nine students from all years of the 2 medical schools completed the Kolb LSI between June 1st and June 30th,2008 (response rate:91.4%). Results:MC students preferred Kolb's 'assimilator (56.3%)' and 'diverger (25.6%)',and PGMS students preferred Kolb's 'assimilator (61.2%)' and 'converger (19.3%)'. PGMS students showed a higher preference for abstract conceptualization compared with MC students (adjusted Odds Ratio=2.191;95% Confidence Interval=1.115~4.306). Conclusion:This study showed that the learning styles of PGMS and MC students differed. We can use this result not only in developing curricula and teaching strategies,but also in providing support to students.
