Abstract

Despite the rapid rise of student enrollment in Interior Architecture and Interior Architecture and Environmental Design programs, no study has investigated the common learning styles of those students, using the Gregorc Style Delineator instrument. The primary purpose of this research is to explore the differences and similarities between the learning styles of students enrolled in those two bachelor’s programs. Additionally, this study aims to compare the findings with those related to interior design bachelor students. Comparing the results from both groups of participants showed that the major learning preferences of both groups were similar. The results show similarities and differences between the current study’s findings and those of previous studies. According to previous studies, the most common learning style for students in unimodal interior design was Concrete Sequential. In the current study, the most common learning style of unimodal students in both majors was Abstract Random. Another difference was related to the percentage of bimodal students. While previous studies concluded that most interior design bachelor students were bimodal, the current study revealed that although nearly half of Interior Architecture and Interior Architecture and Environmental Design students were bimodal, the number of unimodal students was still slightly higher. Consistent with the findings, this study suggests several implications that would contribute to improving course materials in both bachelor’s programs.
