Abstract

The aim of the present research was to describe and relate learning styles and learning strategies of students of a university in Lima. There were 218 students as participants. The data-collection procedure was collective. The instruments used were the scale of Learning Strategies of Roman and Gallego, validated and with reliability in Peru (Cronbach’s Alpha of 76), and the Honey-Alonso Learning Styles Questionnaire (CHAEA), also validated and with reliability in Peru conducted by Capella et al. (2003) (Cronbach’s Alpha for the four areas: active=63, reflective=73, theoretical=66, and pragmatic=59). Frequency and percentage tables, Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, Pearson correlation coefficient, multiple linear regression analysis with two models (model of introduction and stepwise model) were used for the statistical analyses.
A significant relationship was found between learning styles and learning strategies. Regarding the results of multiple linear regression, it is observed that there is a regression model between both variables. It was concluded that learning strategies styles [sic] and learning styles are interrelated, and that learning strategies are predictors of learning styles.
