Abstract

Abstract: Learning styles are a key part of the teaching-learning process. Each student learns according to his/her psychological, social and educational characteristics within his/her home and environment. Several researchers have developed studies that help us define the modality with which students are willing to learn in a higher system, which will mark their lives from now on. In the present study, Kolb's test was applied to identify learning styles in 4th, 5th, and 6th year students of the Medical School of theUniversidad Técnica Particular de Loja. An observational, transversal design was applied. The data were tabulated in Excel and analyzed in IBM SPSS Statistics. Of the 137 students considered, it was obtained that, in the basic capacities of learning, the abstract conceptualization (42.3%) is the most used. The predominant learning styles were assimilation style (54%), and according to gender, no difference was determined between learning styles in men and women, nor between academic cycles.
