In relation to nursing education, this paper seeks to give a thorough comparison of the Kolb and VAK learning theories. The VAK model categorizes learners into visual, auditory, and kinesthetic preferences, while the Kolb model emphasizes a cyclical process of experiencing, reflecting, conceptualizing, and experimenting. Both models are extensively used to elaborate on the learning styles in nursing education. To better understand student learning preferences and improve teaching and learning processes, both models are frequently employed in educational contexts. In the context of nursing education, this comparative study examines the major tenets, elements, and consequences of these models. Each model's advantages and disadvantages are addressed, along with its applications in practice and possible advantages for nursing students.
