GARCIA-BEJAR, Ligia et al. Learning patterns of educational sciences students in private Mexican universities. Diálogos sobre educ. Temas actuales en investig. educ. [online]. 2023, vol.14, n.26, 00017.  Epub Sep 08, 2023. ISSN 2007-2171.  https://doi.org/10.32870/dse.v0i26.1243.

This study analyzed the learning patterns of Mexican students of educational sciences in relation to some academic variables - semester they were studying, degree program, perception as a student, academic achievement and performance - measured through the Inventory of Learning Styles (ILS; Vermunt, 1998). Participants were 175 students from two private universities. A significant positive correlation was observed between academic performance and the pattern oriented to meaning, and a significant negative correlation between the former and the undirected pattern. A multiple orientation pattern was predominant among students from both universities, followed by a pattern oriented to meaning.

Keywords : learning patterns; learning conceptions; learning motivation; learning strategies; self-regulated learning.
