Learning Styles and the "Nature of content" of students in the Graduate Program in Innovation in Educational Technologies
Learning Styles, Content Typology, Pedagogical strategies
Learning Styles - LS are cognitive traits of how people learn, they make up the particular set of characteristics that the subject uses to relate to the object of study, influencing their way of learning certain content, but, above all, they are not determinants and can be flexible over time and the context you experience. It becomes relevant to understand the learning style that the student best identifies, assuming an important role in the teaching-learning process to expand and develop pedagogical strategies. the main objective of this research is to verify the relationship between the learning style of graduate students with the way the content is approached according to its typology, using the Learning Style Inventory proposed by David Kolb, assuming that there is a possibility of congruence between the methodology of teaching according to the Nature of Content and its Typology in the light of Antoni Zabala. through this study, it is intended to answer the following question: What is the relationship between: learning style/ typology of content according to the way it is worked/ student predilection of the students of the Graduate Program in Innovation in Educational Technologies from the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte. For that, we use qualitative descriptive-exploratory research, using observation and analysis of teaching methodology in discipline required of the program with the use and application of questionnaires of experience and evaluation of the discipline. It is expected to conclude that, the way a content is worked, constitutes a strong relationship with the student's preferred learning style.
