      abstract = {Teaching and learning processes in universities have not  achieved expected outcomes. The mismatch between learning  and teaching styles is a challenge in the education  process. Instructors should strive to incorporate their  teaching style with students’ learning styles in order to  ensure effective teaching and learning process in higher  education. The present descriptive-survey study aimed to  explainthecompatibility of students’ learning styles using  Witkin’s (1976) Group Embedded Figures Test (GEFT) and  teachers’ teaching style using van Tilburg and Hamilich’s  (1990) test. The target population consisted of students  and faculty members at the agricultural college at Razi  University, Iran. Results revealed that the majority of  males were field-independent and the majority of females  were field-dependent learners. Concerning four teaching  styles (expert, provider, facilitator and enabler), the  instructors tended to use the enabler teaching style.  Instructors should consider the characteristics and needs  of both field-dependent and field-independent students and  use different teaching methods. Recommendations about  matching learning and teaching styles are provided based on  the results.},
