Estilos de aprendizaje y su incidencia en la enseñanza aprendizaje, ciencias naturales, 4°,5°,6° grado; Escuela de Educación Básica Israel, cantón Pasaje, 2021

Abstract

This project addresses issues related to the educational field, mainly with the ways of student learning, taking into account the various characteristics within the teaching action to achieve quality teaching-learning. For this reason, the objective of this study is to determine the incidence of learning styles in students of 4th, 5th, 6th grade of the School of Basic Education Israel in the academic formation of the subject of Natural Sciences. The argumentative support of the information recorded in this study is based on the use of scientific articles from high-impact academic journals, as well as web pages and the support of information by applied surveys. With this, it is emphasized that the methodology applied in this project is of a qualitative-quantitative nature, since it is a mixed investigation, where theoretical information and numerical data are analyzed. It is also a study with a descriptive and explanatory approach, with a bibliographic and field research modality, where three techniques were used with their respective instruments for obtaining information, which were, the survey questionnaire, the interview questionnaire and the observation observation guide, the sample being 30 people, 27 students and 3 teachers. The learning styles taken as a basis for this research are those defined by David Kolb, which are, the convergent or theoretical style, the divergent or active style, the assimilative or reflective style and the accommodating or pragmatic style. All these styles are a substantial part of the student's actions, but each student applies a different one and then their learning capacity is not the same as the rest, which is important for the teacher to know and keep in mind what their students are like and what strategies they can apply to reach them, generating an effective and solvent academic development. Therefore, the results obtained in this study are directed to the fact that learning styles basically affect the student's academic development, so that according to the instruments applied, most of the students responded that ultimately teachers must identify and recognize what learning style each one performs, in order to propose methodologies that help the student to create their own knowledge and to function better inside the classroom as well as outside of it. In addition, a methodological guide was proposed as an academic proposal for a better identification and development of learning styles within the area of Natural Sciences in the 4th, 5th and 6th years of the Israel School of Basic Education. In this proposal, each learning style is detailed along with its characteristics, ensuring that the teacher can understand and apply sound strategies that help maintain quality education and successful learning development, always based on the objectives of the class and the curricular theme within the area of basic education. Ultimately, this research project complies with true and substantiated information with all the parameters of analysis, within the academic field and its development in teaching-learning.
