Abstract

GONZALEZ, Mariela Lourdes  and  ANGLAT, Hilda Emilia Difabio de. Cross and longitudinal approach in the study learning patterns of engineering university students. Rev. Actual. Investig. Educ [online]. 2016, vol.16, n.3, pp.169-189. ISSN 1409-4703.  http://dx.doi.org/10.15517/aie.v16i3.26089.

In the present article analyzes the model itself Vermunt in the Argentine context, one from samples from two faculties of Engineering with the aim of alienating a base of theoretical and contextual let us allow the teaching optimize and learning at the university. Two cross-one studies and other longitudinally are implemented; in the first, if you compare Engineering Students -1st initial segment ANOVA (N = 149) with the end of -5 ANOVA (N = 90); in the second, the results are compared in primer year students in Agricultural Engineering Sciences: the beginning (N = 110) and end (N = 98). The instrument used was the Learning Styles Inventory, in the spanish version 2009, which permit the formation of four patterns: the meaning oriented, application oriented, reproductive and undirected. In the first study a hierarchical cluster analysis to identify patterns of learning that takes place up. In the second, the intra-Individual changes are discussed in the middle of ILS scales. In both studies concluded, the results show that the patterns that make the child clearly oriented towards the meaning and reproduction.

Keywords : university students; engineering; cross-sectional study; longitudinal study; patterns of learning; vermunt's model.
