Estilos de aprendizaje y habilidades sociales en estudiantes de básica superior.

Abstract

Learning styles and social skills constitute two variables that play a significant role during the educational process of students, since they allow to regulate the ways in which learning is established in addition to regulating the social dynamics that give way to learning. school support networks among peers, teachers and other members of the educational community. Hence, the analysis of the relationship presented between these categories allows us to understand the learning dynamics developed within educational communities and, based on the understanding of these relationships, propose intervention proposals that optimize educational processes within the teaching practice. In this sense, the present research has set the objective of determining the level of relationship between learning styles and social skills in upper elementary students of the Manuel Isaac Encalada Zúñiga High School in 2021, for which in the first instance it was necessary starting from the bibliographic analysis of the main theoretical, scientific and methodological conceptions of these variables in order to understand the generalities of these dimensions. This analysis led to the following study problem: What is the relationship between learning styles and social skills in upper elementary students of the Manuel Isaac Encalada Zúñiga High School in 2021?, Based on this research question A problem was constituted with respect to the statistical relationship that arises between these categories, so for the execution of the study a correlational intervention was carried out that allows to analyze the presumed statistical relationship between these variables, so the focus of the present study charged quantitative characteristics that allowed to measure, analyze and establish criteria from the understanding of the implicit phenomena within the study variables. For the selection of the study population, a stratified random sampling was performed with students from a public educational institution that ranged in age ranges between 11 and 14 years, during the development of the study a total of 145 students of the basic education level participated. measure. Among the main findings identified, it was evidenced that there is a statistically significant relationship between the variables of learning styles and social skills, however, this relationship is presented inversely, that is, there is a perfect negative correlation, so these results allowed to conclude that there is a statistically significant relationship between these variables according to the proposed study hypothesis. In this way, the results achieved during the study allowed to structure a methodological guide for the improvement of learning styles and the strengthening of social skills, so for the structure of this guide it was necessary in the first instance to start from the analysis of the postulates scientific, pedagogical, didactic, recreational and curricular that regulate the Ecuadorian educational system and based on these resources structure a versatile intervention tool that allows the teacher to apply these resources based on the educational needs presented by their students.
