Background: The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between dental students’ learning styles (VARK) and their perceptions of the educational environment (DREEM), and to evaluate the effects of this relationship on academic self-perception and learning climate. In addition, the study aimed to examine the influence of demographic variables such as age, academic year, and faculty type on students’ perceptions of the educational environment.Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted with 518 undergraduate dental students from different universities in Türkiye. Data were collected using a structured online questionnaire including sociodemographic characteristics, the VARK Learning Style Inventory, and selected subscales of the Dundee Ready Education Environment Measure (DREEM). Learning styles were classified as Visual, Aural, Read/Write, and Kinesthetic. Educational environment perceptions were evaluated through academic self-perception and learning climate subscales.

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, diş hekimliği öğrencilerinin öğrenme stilleri ile eğitim ortamına yönelik algıları arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemek ve bu ilişkinin akademik öz algı ile öğrenme iklimi üzerindeki etkilerini değerlendirmektir. Ayrıca yaş, sınıf düzeyi ve fakülte gibi demografik değişkenlerin eğitim ortamı algısı üzerindeki rolünün araştırılması amaçlanmıştır.Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu kesitsel çalışma, Türkiye’deki farklı diş hekimliği fakültelerinde öğrenim gören 518 lisans öğrencisi ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Veriler, sosyodemografik bilgiler, VARK Öğrenme Stili Envanteri ve Dundee Eğitim Ortamı Değerlendirme Ölçeği (DREEM) kullanılarak çevrim içi anket aracılığıyla toplanmıştır. Öğrenme stilleri görsel (V), işitsel (A), okuma-yazma (R) ve kinestetik (K) olarak değerlendirilmiştir. Eğitim ortamı algısı ise akademik öz algı ve öğrenme iklimi alt boyutları üzerinden incelenmiştir. İstatistiksel anlamlılık düzeyi p
