Individuals’ learning style preferences wereevaluated with the Kolb Learning Style Inventory-3, their learning environment was evaluated with the DREEM (The Dundee ReadyEducation Environment Measure) survey, and their self-confidence was evaluated with the Academic Self-Confidence Scale. Individuals’academic achievements were evaluated through their Grade Point Average (GPA).Individuals who preferred different learning styles had similar academic self-confidence (p>0.05). Individuals who preferred differentlearning styles had statistically different perceptions of the learning environment (p KW - Physiotherapy Education KW - Learning styles KW - Academic achievement N2 - Bu çalışmanın amacı lisans düzeyindeki fizyoterapi ve rehabilitasyon öğrencilerinin farklı öğrenme stili tercihlerine göre akademikbaşarılarını, akademik özgüvenlerini ve öğrenme çevrelerini incelemekti.Çalışmaya lisans düzeyindeki 180 fizyoterapi ve rehabilitasyon öğrencisi dahil edilmiştir. Bireylerin öğrenme stili tercihleri KolbÖğrenme Stili Envanteri-3 ile, öğrenme çevreleri Dundee Mevcut Eğitim Ortamı Değerlendirme Ölçeği (DREEM) ile, özgüvenleri iseAkademik Özgüven Ölçeği (AÖÖ) ile değerlendirilmiştir. Bireylerin akademik başarıları Genel Akademik Not Ortalamaları aracılığıyladeğerlendirilmiştir.Farklı öğrenme stillerini tercih eden bireylerin Akademik Özgüven Ölçeği ile ölçülen akademik özgüvenleri benzerdi (p>0,05). Farklıöğrenme stillerini tercih eden bireylerin DREEM anketiyle ölçülen öğrenme çevresi algıları istatistiksel olarak farklıydı (p CR - Al-Hazimi, A., Zaini, R., Al-Hyiani, A., Hassan, N., Gunaid, A., Ponnamperuma, G., Davis, M.
