Abstract

Today, the development of information and communication technologies has changed the learning styles of students; educational practices based on transferring information as it is are out of date. The views on students’ being active participants in the learning-to-learn process have made learning strategies one of the important issues in the field of education. It has gained importance to provide students with the skills of accessing information, using information and learning to learn. Therefore, student-centered educational activities should be carried out within the framework of innovative approaches in line with student learning strategies. This research was conducted to determine the use of learning strategies by medical documentation and secretarial program students and to determine whether the learning strategies they use differ according to some variables (gender, age, etc.) According to the findings obtained in the study, while medical documentation and secretarial students use comprehension monitoring strategies and interpretation strategies intensively, they use organization strategies, repetition strategies, and effective strategies less frequently. It was determined that some of the learning strategies used by the students differed according to age group, gender, whether they chose the program they studied voluntarily. It has been determined that there is no significant difference between the learning strategies used by the students of the medical documentation and secretarial program and the variables of the type of high school they graduated from and grade level.
