Abstract

Throughout this paper we seek to demonstrate the practicality of obtaining an approximate model of the relationship between a score that determines the learning styles of a student and the results obtained in a specific University-level lecture. The study considered the voluntary participation of over six hundred students from “Escuela Politécnica Nacional” of Ecuador (EPN). The Index of Learning Styles model was used to establish the various learning styles of the students. The analysis of the results considers the linear correlation and the correlation distance.

Highlights

  • The analysis of correlations between the scores obtained by the students and their learning styles normally reflect the independence between this two

Summary

Introduction

The knowledge being generated all around the world and across all kinds of areas and subjects is recurrently more evident in certain fields such as science and technology It is imperative for professionals and researches to stay up to date in their fields of choice as and effectively as new information is constantly released. The Index of Learning Styles is the result of several investigations aiming at understanding learning and behavior analysis. It takes Carl Jung’s (Felder & Linda, Learning and Teaching Styles, 1988) model as the foundation to build a model that originally considered five different groups to represent all dimensions of learning and both possible learning styles within them. The main benefit of taking the ILS it to allow the students to take advantage of this knowledge and improve effectively the way that they study
