Por ello, se ha investigado a través de un diseño descriptivo y correlacional la relación entre la predominancia de los estilos de aprendizaje activo, reflexivo, teórico y pragmático (CHAEA) en los resultados académicos de los estudiantes universitarios de Ingeniería abordados por sexo, carrera profesional, niveles de preferencia y escalas de evaluación académica. El estilo de mayor predominancia para los estudiantes de ingeniería es el reflexivo, pero no existe una relación entre los estilos de aprendizaje con el rendimiento académico demostradas con la correlación de Rho de Spearman (p > 0,05).
