LEARNING STYLES AND USE OF TECHNOLOGIES IN THE TECHNICAL TRAINING. TEACHING EXPERIENCE AND LEARNING ACHIEVEMENT

We present our experience and part of a wider investigation. First, we analyze an important component of the dynamics of classroom, students' learning styles. We consider the factors to project changes and achieve better performances are in the classroom. We apply the questionnaire CHAEA different groups of students (1st and 2nd level of education) and in different periods (years 2011 and 2014) with the idea to detect changes in styles. We treat the information quantitatively with SPSSv. 15 program (60% average and variance = 0.98) and employ a scale of interpretation to categorize styles. The main results show significant differences in learning styles, while advancing in the training course. Was detected the strong presence of active style in the first instance, unlike the reflective style, with differences between training levels. Then in the second period we found significant differences between levels of education and technical specialties, also significant differences between periods. In this line, an aspect that we analyze to explain the results it relates to the use of information technology and communication (ICT) and new technologies (NNTT), both in the process of design and implementation processes teaching. Finally, we note that, from the first period, we achieved significant performance and show that in highly vulnerable institutions are necessary intervention process to promote inclusion, improve conditions, enhance performance and improve learning outcomes.
