Os estilos de aprendizagem relacionam-se à maneira pela qual as pessoas interagem com condições aprendizagem, abrangendo aspectos cognitivos, afetivos, físicos e ambientais relacionados ao processamento informações. Este estudo objetivou identificar os predominantes em estudantes um curso Engenharia Produção na Região Sul do Brasil, utilizando o Inventário Estilo Aprendizagem Kolb. Para tal, fo...

This study compared two instruments while evaluating the effects of learning style on performance when using a computer-based instruction (CBI) system to teach introductory probability and statistics. The Gregorc Style Delineator (GSD) and the Kolb Learning Style Inventory (LSI) were used to measure learning style. Results indicated that there was an effect of learning style when using the GSD:...

One of the principal debates in the ®eld of individual di€erences in `learning style' (often used to include cognitive style) has centred around the proliferation of constructs and measures, many of which have been developed with little regard for extant theories and instruments. This study explored the construct validity of learning style as operationalised in the Learning Styles Inventory (LS...

Anatomic breast imaging techniques such as mammography and ultrasound are very useful in the detection of breast cancer, but can have limited sensitivity and positive predictive value, particularly in patients with dense breasts (Kolb et al., 2002). These limitations have provided the impetus for adjunctive technologies such as nuclear medicine and PET based diagnostic imaging procedures. The n...

This paper presents elements of the experiential learning in engineering education through a real-life project case. The project included a team of university students from Hong Kong traveling to Sichuan, China and implementing various engineering systems from solar energy to e-learning systems for a reconstructed school in Sichuan, which was destroyed by the 5.12 Sichuan earthquake in 2008. So...
