“…Motivation and the correct use of active methodologies are essential for academic learning [ 8 ] and structuring education according to the student’s learning style is key to developing study skills [ 9 ]. It is therefore necessary to use teaching practices that encourage student engagement; however, first the profile of the students must be mapped since the learning process is complex and is not limited to the acquisition of answers or knowledge but rather involves numerous individual and social variables [ 10 ].…”

Background Medical education has evolved based on the application of pedagogical actions that place the student as the protagonist of the learning process through the use of active teaching methodologies. Within this context, higher education teachers should use strategies that focus on the student and his/her context and avoid traditional teaching methods. Specifically in medical schools, there is an even greater challenge since the teaching methods of medical curricula differ from those used in previous schooling. Consequently, students acquire their own style of processing information that is often incompatible with the profile of medical schools. This may be one of the factors responsible for the lack of motivation among undergraduates. Objective The aim of this study was to characterize the learning styles of students enrolled in a Brazilian medical school using the Felder-Soloman Index of Learning Styles (ILS). Methods This was a cross-sectional, descriptive, quantitative study that included students from the 1st to the 6th year of a Brazilian medical school. The students participating in this study voluntarily answered 44 questions about learning styles of the Felder-Silverman instrument validated in Brazil. The instrument was divided so that each domain consisted of 11 questions with two response options in which only one could be selected. For each domain, a score (1 point) was assigned to the selected option (a, b) of the question and the learning style category was determined as the difference between these values. For data collection and tabulation, we used the Learning Syle Platform (EdA Platform) developed based on Felder’s studies since this system processes information about the dimension analyzed, the preferred style, and the most striking characteristics of each style. Results The results showed that sensing was the preferred learning style of the students, followed by the sequential and visual styles. It was not possible to determine whether gender or age influences the choice of learning methods because of the homogeneity of the results. Conclusions The present data will enable teachers of the institution involved in this study to plan pedagogical actions that improve the students’ self-awareness, as well as their teaching-learning skills, by choosing the most adequate active methodologies for the medical education programs considering the individuality of each student and class.

Objetivo: analizar variables sociodemográficas, calidad de vida, autopercepción de la salud, motivación para el aprendizaje y comportamiento de adolescentes en 2018 y 2021. Método: estudio transversal observacional con 124 adolescentes en 2018 y 68 en 2021. Para la recolección de datos se utilizó un formulario para las variables sociodemográficas, Cuestionario de Calidad de Vida Pediátrica, instrumento de Autopercepción de la Salud, Escala de Motivación para el Aprendizaje y Cuestionario de Capacidades y Dificultades. La recolección de datos se realizó mediante formularios en Google Forms . Para el análisis se utilizó estadística descriptiva y regresión logística. Resultados: la mayoría de los participantes pertenecían a la clase A. En la comparación entre 2018 y 2021, hubo un empeoramiento en la evaluación de la autopercepción de la salud. En la evaluación de la CV por parte de los padres, hubo diferencia estadísticamente significativa entre las puntuaciones de las dimensiones social y psicosocial. Entre los adolescentes, hubo diferencias entre las puntuaciones de la CV en las dimensiones física y psicosocial. Conclusión: el adolescente con mejor evaluación de la salud mental tuvo mayores posibilidades de tener una mejor calidad de vida en los períodos investigados (OR=5,35 y OR=5,51). Los estudiantes más jóvenes mostraron una mayor motivación para aprender, aumentando la posibilidad de mejorar su calidad de vida hasta 9,75 y 5,02 veces en los dos periodos, respectivamente.

Objective: to analyze sociodemographic variables, quality of life, self-perceived health, learning motivation and behavior of adolescents in 2018 and 2021. Method: observational cross-sectional study with 124 adolescents in 2018, and 68 in 2021. A Form for sociodemographic variables, Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory, Self-Perceived Health instrument, Learning Motivation Scale and Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire were used to collect data. Data collection was carried out using forms on Google Forms. For the analysis, descriptive statistics and logistic regression were used. Results: the majority of participants belonged to class A. In the comparison between 2018 and 2021, there was a worsening in the assessment of self-perceived health. In the assessment of QoL by parents, there was a statistically significant difference between the scores of the social and psychosocial dimensions. Among adolescents, there were differences between QoL scores in the physical and psychosocial dimensions. Conclusion: the adolescent with a better mental health assessment had a greater chance of having a better quality of life in the periods investigated (OR=5.35 and OR=5.51). Younger students showed greater motivation to learn, increasing the chance of improving their quality of life by up to 9.75 and 5.02 times in the two periods, respectively.
