Patrones de aprendizaje del profesorado colombiano en formación . (Spanish)

Evolution of learning patterns among Colombian pre-service teachers. (English)

To understand the change of learning patterns among pre-service teachers, 1016 students attending a pedagogical university in Bogotá, Colombia, answered the Inventory of Learning Styles (ILS). The sample was divided according to the moment of the career: at the beginning; in the middle and at the end. A cluster analysis was done on the factors obtained by a principal component analysis. Findings indicate four learning patterns: one directed towards meaning and application of knowledge, one directed toward knowledge accumulation, an undirected pattern, and an “inactive” pattern, with low responses in all scales. The proportion of students in each pattern changes throughout the career, with the meaning directed pattern progressively gaining more prevalence. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A fi n de comprender el cambio de los patrones de aprendizaje de maestros en formación a lo largo de la carrera, 1.016 estudiantes de una universidad pedagógica de Bogotá, Colombia, respondieron al Inventario de Estilos de Aprendizaje (ILS). La muestra estaba dividida según el momento de la carrera: inicio, intermedio y fi nal. Se realizó un análisis de conglomerados sobre los factores obtenidos en un análisis de componentes principales. Los resultados indican cuatro patrones: uno orientado al signifi cado y aplicación del conocimiento, uno dirigido a su acumulación, otro no dirigido y un patrón “inactivo”, con bajas respuestas en todas las escalas. La proporción de estudiantes por patrón cambia entre los primeros y últimos semestres, ganando progresivamente mayor prevalencia la orientación hacia el signifi cado. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
