Learning style analysis of engineering and technology freshmen

Modelling of Learning Styles in Relation to University- level Lectures

“…This model consists of four groups of learning styles where students are assigned a score based on the answers given on a questionnaire. Notwithstanding the fact that this particular model takes into account certain personality traits, it is mostly considered a part of the "flexibly stable learning preference" family (Cueva, Calderón, Salazar & Grijalva, 2018). Another model from the same family is Allinson and Hayes's model (Hayes & Allinson, 1997).…”

“…The ILS is not only easy to employ, but it also gives a great deal of information and furthers the understanding of how the actual process of learning works. An example of this is the research conducted by Felder (Felder & Silverman, 1988) and Cueva (Cueva, Calderón, Salazar , & Grijalva , 2018), in which they obtain the ILS of a group of STEM students and compared the learning styles with the teaching styles of their institutions both established that there is not a required set of learning styles to study a specific major, instead every student (with any combination of learning styles) is able to succeed in whatever their field of choice is, as long as they understand how to take advantage of their learning styles.…”
