Abstract

This paper focuses on exploring how the learning process is perceived by the students. The researchers have chosen Kolb and VARK learning models, in order to identify the participant cohorts’ preferred learning pathways, so the researchers can clearly understand their expectations, strengths and preferences utilising the evidence-based inquiry method. The results indicate that none of the two learning models applied can in actuality include all the broad range of learning expectations of the students, regardless of their age. Youngsters seem to be more aligned with the active learning mode, while older students can perform better with more abstract concepts. The geographic origin seems not to have any noticeable impact on the learning styles preferences of the students participating in these trials.
学习风格理论:学生的学习偏好会使STEM科目更容易学习吗?
本文主要探讨学生如何感知学习过程。研究人员选择了Kolb和VARK学习模型,以确定参与者群体偏好的学习途径,因此研究人员可以清楚地了解他们的期望,优势和偏好,利用循证探究方法。结果表明,所采用的两种学习模式都不能真正地涵盖学生的所有广泛的学习期望,而不考虑他们的年龄。年轻人似乎更符合主动学习模式,而年龄较大的学生在抽象概念方面表现得更好。地理来源似乎对参加这些试验的学生的学习风格偏好没有任何明显的影响。
