Emotions and learning styles making an online research master's degree

Abstract

The distance education model has insufficient consideration of the emotional aspects of the students, where the training action takes place without personal interactions, causing it to be very difficult to feel like a member of an educational community. The research aimed to observe the evolution of emotions and learning styles during the Master’s Degree in Research in Teacher Training and ICT. A quasi-experimental, pretest-posttest, single-group research design was employed, using descriptive and inferential data analysis. On the one hand, the questionnaire to measure emotions towards the elements of online education. On the other hand, the REATIC (Relation of Learning Styles with ICT, in Spanish) questionnaire. A significant increase in boredom has been observed and the predominant learning styles are pragmatic and theoretical.
