PowerPoint presentations (PPTs) have become routine in medical colleges because of their flexible and varied presentation capabilities. Research indicates that students prefer PPTs over the chalk-and-talk method, and there is a lot of debate over advantages and disadvantages of PPTs. However, there is no clear evidence that PPTs improve student learning/performance. Furthermore, there are a variety of learning styles with sex differences in classrooms. It is the responsibility of teacher/facilitator and student to be aware of learning style preferences to improve learning. The present study asked the following research question: do PPTs equally affect the learning of students with different learning styles in a mixed sex classroom? After we assessed students' predominant learning style according to the sensory modality that one most prefers to use when learning, a test was conducted before and after a PPT to assess student performance. The results were analyzed using Student's t-test and ANOVA with a Bonferroni post hoc test. A z-test showed no sex differences in preferred learning styles. There was significant increase in posttest performance compared with that of the pretest in all types of learners of both sexes. There was also a nonsignificant relationship among sex, learning style, and performance after the PPT. A PPT is equally effective for students with different learning style preferences and supports mixed sex classrooms.

PowerPoint演示文稿 (ppt) 由于其灵活多样的演示功能,已成为医学院校的常规。研究表明,学生更喜欢ppt而不是粉笔谈话方法,并且关于ppt的优缺点存在很多争论。但是,没有明确的证据表明ppt可以改善学生的学习/表现。此外,教室里有多种性别差异的学习方式。教师/辅导员和学生有责任意识到学习风格的偏好,以改善学习。本研究提出了以下研究问题: 在混合性课堂中,ppt是否同样影响具有不同学习风格的学生的学习?在我们根据最喜欢在学习时使用的感觉方式评估了学生的主要学习方式之后,在PPT之前和之后进行了测试以评估学生的表现。使用学生t检验和方差分析以及Bonferroni事后检验对结果进行分析。z测试显示首选学习方式没有性别差异。在所有类型的男女学习者中,与前测相比,后测成绩均显着提高。PPT后的性别,学习风格和表现之间也没有显着关系。一个PPT对不同学习风格偏好的学生同样有效,支持混合性课堂。
