Abstract enThe purpose of this study is to determine the preferred dominant learning styles from Kolb Learning Styles and investigate the relation between learning styles and learning abilities and gender, class level, graduated high school type and the number of the books read in a year. Kolb Learning Style Inventory (LSI) which was translated into Turkish by Aşkar and Akkoyunlu (1993) was used as a data collecting mean. Data were analyzed by using frequency, percentage value, arithmetic mean, standard deviation, Pearson chisquare independent test and ANOVA analyze techniques. According to the data obtained; it was found that primary teacher candidates have mostly “Assimilating” learning style and they have less “Accommodating” learning style. As a result, the teacher candidates’ learning forms and components and learning styles did not display difference according to the type of high school graduates and annual number of books read, but it varies according to the gender and the class.
