Estrategias de aprendizaje en estudiantes universitarios. diferencias por género, curso y tipo de titulación

Abstract

Research on gender, course or discipline effect of learning strategies is inconclusive. It is necessary to delve into the form in these variables are related, especially with multivariate analysis. There is realized a non-experimental research involving 805 college students. We collect the information with the Cuestionario de Estrategias de Trabajo Autónomo (CETA). Results indicate that the three variables have an effect on individual learning strategies, although the course turns out to be the worst predictor. Analysis results show the need to consider the combined effects that sometimes are contradictory with the simple effects of the variables. Knowledge of the strategies of interest groups will allow teachers to adjust training specifically to the different learning ways of their students.
