Learning styles and school performance in a particular school of Lima Norte

Abstract

Objective: To identify if there is a significant relationship between learning styles and school performance in the area of mathematical reasoning. Method: The study was carried out with 112 first year high school students from the non-state school “El Buen Pastor” in the Los Olivos district. Intentionally chosen, as it is non-probabilistic. A quantitative, observational, basic, prospective, cross-sectional and correlational research was carried out; the Felder and Silverman Learning Styles Test was used. Results: There is a greater predominance in Active, Visual and Sequential AE, finding that the sequentialglobal category exists significant differences, there could be a direct relationship with AR in mathematical reasoning. Parametric statistical analysis was performed where the data had a normal distribution. Conclusions: AE are significant for the teaching-learning process, there are no highly significant or direct differences with AR.
