The influence of learning styles in collaborative activities

Published: 25 September 2017 Publication History

Abstract

A collaborative activity in an educational environment involves the accomplishment of tasks in teams. The interaction among members of a team implies work to be organized and assigned among the parties in order to perform a learning activity. Learning styles are constructs that may explain the way in which people learn in general and could be related to the way students interact in a collaborative setting including with technology. The main problem detected in collaboration activities, is the student association, regularly their join together that their want and this form to work it is not the best. We think that there are to find a way to put them together, with the purpose that students obtained learning gains in their activities. The purpose of this article is to show the results from an exploratory study carried out among secondary students. The main objective was to analyze whether students have greater use of collaborative strategies in relation to their learning styles. To this end, students were paired considering David Kolb's learning styles. The results suggest that students, who were the most successful in the collaborative activity, were those who had the same learning style.
