Abstract

AMARAL, Marcos Prado  and  SILVEIRA, Ismar Frango. Learning styles of students graduating from technical courses in computer science at Cefet-MG. Linhas Críticas [online]. 2015, vol.21, n.45, pp.487-502. ISSN 1981-0431.  https://doi.org/10.2015/lcv21n45.0013.

Using the N-ILS instrument, developed and validated by Vieira Jr. (2012)), this article presents a survey of the learning styles of 44 last-year students of the technical course in computer science at Cefet-MG, in 2014, revealing a dominant style. A proposal was made to form 8 workgroups, with 5 students each, and one workgroup with 4 students, each group containing students with opposite styles The dominant profile found is lightly reflexive, moderately visual, lightly to moderately sequential and strongly sensory. This profile was found to fit the course. This benefits students, teachers, schools and companies, who will receive professionals who like to do what they were trained to do.

Keywords : Learning Styles; Individual Differences; Teaching; Professional Technical Training.
