| Abstract | ||
| Background: Understanding the various styles of learning that are used by nursing students also is important so that educators can adapt their mode of teaching to meet the needs of the students. In addition to learning styles, it is important for educators to understand critical thinking dispositions and advocates matching teaching methods to student’s learning styles. Aim: To determine the relationship between learning styles and self-efficacy with critical thinking disposition among technical institute nursing students. Design: A descriptive correlational design was utilized. Sample: 324 students at Technical Institute of Nursing-Mansoura University. Tools: Three tools were used for data collection namely, Students’ Learning Styles, Student Self-Efficacy Scale, and California Critical Thinking Disposition Inventory (CCTDI). Results: Most of nursing students reported that they prefer visual learning style that followed by auditory preference and finally kinesthetic/ tactile preference. The majority of nursing students reported to high self-efficacy, and they had the highest percentage of truth-seeking dimension and followed by self-confidence. Conclusion: The current study concluded that, there’s no relationship between nursing students’ learning styles, self-efficacy, and critical thinking disposition except self-efficacy with truth seeking that was statistically significant correlation. Recommendations: Combine leaning activities that support nursing students in developing self-efficacy and motivate students to promote CTDs for problem solving and decision making in personal as well as professional life and developed further studies in other faculties of nursing to generalize. | ||
