Summary: The study aimed to determine the learning styles of medical school students and evaluate the relationship between their learning styles, academic motivation, and sociodemographic variables. The findings showed that independent learning was the highest among the learning style dimensions, and intrinsic motivation to know was the highest among the academic motivation dimensions. Significant relationships were found between independent learning and intrinsic motivation, avoidant learning and extrinsic motivation, and collaborative learning and intrinsic motivation to know, intrinsic motivation to accomplish things, and intrinsic motivation to experience stimulation.

Summary: Nursing students need experience in patient safety management to prevent accidents, with informal learning mediating the relationship between nursing competencies and patient safety management activities. Improved teaching of specific patient safety-related knowledge, skills, and attitudes is essential to enhance patient safety competence and the implementation of patient safety management activities. Informal learning opportunities, such as simulation education and clinical practice, should be increased in the nursing curriculum to maintain continuity and connectivity in clinical practice.

Summary: To address health disparities, future physicians must understand the role of social determinants of health (SDH). We created an authentic SDH curriculum using four real myocardial infarction (MI) patients. The curriculum involved interviews, small group discussions, neighborhood exploration, and patient presentations, which were highly effective for learning about SDH according to student evaluations.

Summary: This study investigated the association between European medical students' psychological safety and their last supervised patient encounter. Results showed that supervisor coaching and modelling behavior were strongly associated with psychological safety, while studying in Northern Europe was also a significant factor. However, factors such as student gender, seniority, specialty, the presence of peers, and previous encounters with the supervisor were not associated with psychological safety.

Summary: This study explored career orientations among medical students in the Netherlands and their implications for future career choices, identifying three distinct orientations: valuing lifelong self-development, valuing work-life balance, and being more concerned with achievement and recognition of work. These differences in orientations can help design interventions to guide medical students towards more satisfying and society-relevant career choices.

Summary: This study explores the experiences of prehospital nursing students in the patient safety culture of emergency medical services. The findings suggest that patient safety events described by students were rarely reported and were often related to communication, checking/verification, and teamwork. The study highlights the importance of utilizing students' observations to improve patient safety culture in emergency medical services.

Summary: Deaf students face difficulties in conventional learning, but their reading ability remains strong. Due to the lack of auditory repetition, their literacy skills are relatively weak. Currently, teaching media for deaf students are insufficient, making it challenging for them to integrate new knowledge. This study proposes four different learning styles and corresponding teaching methods using the VRK + TSL model to support deaf students' learning.

Summary: The purpose of this study is to explore students' backtracking patterns in using a digital textbook and investigate the relationship between backtracking behaviors, academic performance, and learning styles. The results suggest that a subgroup of students called backtrackers tend to backtrack more frequently and perform better. Furthermore, higher initial ability is found to be a factor causing higher frequency of backtracking, which in turn affects the final test scores. Additionally, there is no significant correlation found between backtracking behavior and learning styles.

Summary: Individual differences among learners, particularly cognitive styles, are crucial for predicting learning behavior. This study examines the overlaps between two cognitive style dimensions, field dependence/independence and Holism/Serialism, in terms of online learning behavior using Lag Sequential Analysis. The results reveal significant overlaps in comprehensive/local and dynamic/fixed approaches.

Summary: Despite major efforts to improve patient safety, healthcare delivery remains unsafe. This study examines the attitudes of undergraduate medical students at a Tunisian medical school towards patient safety. The results indicate a generally positive perception of patient safety culture among the students, although there is room for improvement. Significant differences were observed based on demographic factors and patient safety training. Thus, additional and more intensive educational sessions may be needed to meet the students' needs.

Summary: Learning style refers to learners' preferred way of learning. However, there is often a mismatch between students' learning style differences and the instructional methods used by teachers, resulting in less effective learning and behavior problems. This paper focuses on defining learning dimensions relevant to foreign language classes and examines teachers' classroom practices in accommodating learning style differences. It suggests steps and modalities to address the educational needs of all students in English language classes. The study findings indicate that most EFL teachers in Chamo secondary school, Arba Minch, Ethiopia do not accommodate or address learning style differences in the classroom.
