Description
Summary:In this paper a review of the concepts and the theoretical models to identify learning styles is made. Research on the subject of interest, aspects related to virtual training environments, and identifying and applying learning styles are described. The theory of experiential learning and the model of learning styles stated by David Kolb are presented as an alternative to identify and implement learning styles in virtual training environments. Preliminary results are presented on both prevailing learning styles (according to David Kolb’s theory) in students taking distance short courses and the relationship between identified styles, activities and methodological strategies used to develop their activities. Results that will allow to establish parameters to betaken into account in building a methodology for implementing learning styles in virtual training environments.
