Estilos y estrategia de enseñanza-aprendizaje de estudiantes universitarios de la Ciencia del Suelo

This study sought to determine learning styles by sex and degree, as well as the most effective teaching strategies in higher education in Ecuador. With a focus group made up of edaphology students from the Private Technical University of Loja (UTPL), a descriptive study was conducted using the Honey-Alonso Learning Styles Questionnaire (CHAEA). The research also explored which teaching strategies had the greatest impact. Preferences by degree and sex were moderate to low for the four learning styles, and the most effective strategies were videos, lectures, and field-laboratory-classroom work. It was shown that students do not learn in just one way, but have different learning styles, and therefore strategies should be applied that respond to a wider range of learning capacities.
