Students’ learning preferences for forms and activities – suggestions for academic teachers

Abstract

Aims: The aim of the study was to identify the most preferred classroom forms and activities among students. Methodology: The study was conducted using a survey questionnaire that was completed by 167 students from five different classes. The questionnaire included questions about the students' preferences for lecture, exercise, project, laboratory, and seminar form. Results: The results of the study showed that students preferred a blended learning approach, combining both direct contact and remote learning, and that the level of IT skills had a significant impact on their preferences. Limitations: The limitations of the study include a small sample size and a limited scope, as it only focused on the form and activities in classroom instruction and did not address the challenges and limitations of the learning process. Conclusions: Overall, this study contributes to the understanding of student preferences in classroom and can be useful for designing effective teaching strategies in higher education.
