Learning Styles

Learning styles are an individual's preferences for learning certain concepts. There are different classifications of learning styles. Some are based on sensory preferences, others on brain preferences, and others on the way of interacting.

Improving teaching and learning through a collaborative, reflective, and problem-solving approach to researching classroom practices

Students differ in the way they perceive and give meaning to information from multiple means of representation, which is essential.

This comprehensive approach seeks not only to characterize students, but also to provide tools that improve the teaching-learning process in UNAD's virtual education.
