The presentation would introduce the study of relationships between students' (n=326) cognitive style and their learning method preferences. The study investigated also correlations between students' field of studies and learning method preferences.

For ascertaining cognitive styles Allinson and Hayes's Cognitive Style Index (CSI) was implemented, for exploring students' method preferences, a ranking list with 13 learning methods was used.

Findings suggest weak correlations between learners' cognitive style and giving a high rank to creative group work (the more intuitive the learner's cognitive style the more effective the learner considers a creative group work to be). Other results suggest that intuitive learners value simulation game and observing a specialist working at his field more than analytic learners do; the analytic learners, on the other hand, value more than intuitive learners writing a literature review, reading, and conducting a small research project.

Also, the further research plans and the implementation of the results of the study to pedagogical practices would be discussed.
