Estilos de aprendizagem dos discentes a partir do modelo de avaliação de David Kolb

Abstract

The research sought to identify Accounting Sciences students learning styles from David Kolb’s evaluation model. The answers about their preferences were obtained through the instrument developed by Kolb, known as Learning Styles Inventory (LSI), which was applied by printed routes to the students who were finishing the discipline of Computerized Accounting in the 1st semester of 2018, at the Federal University of Juiz de Fora. The analysis was carried out with 54 students, being 21 of the daytime class and 33 of the night class, here called class A and class B, respectively. Within this group of students, 14 questionnaires were invalidated (3 from class A and 11 from class B), since these were answered in the wrong way. Therefore, the analysis was carried out with 40 students. In class A, the result found was: 56% of the students of the Assimilator style; 39% of the Convergent style; 5% of the Divergent style, and no Accommodator style students were found in this class. In class B, the result is similar to that of class A: 59% students of the Assimilator style; 23% of the Convergent style; and the Divergent and Accommodating styles accounted for 9%.
