Resumo: | It is known that learning refers to how beings acquire new knowledge, develop skills and change behavior. Thus, knowing the learning styles of individuals is important, both for those who learn how to teach. In this sense, this research project aimed to describe the sociodemographic characteristics of the sample, identify the predominant learning styles of these individuals and see if there is a correlation between learning styles with sociodemographic variables. The sample consisted of 248 elderly participants in the study "Continuing Education - Benefits of the Open University of the Third Age EACH USP", funded by the National Institute for Educational Studies and Research Teixeira (INEP)| Ministry of Education. We used a protocol that included sociodemographic questionnaire and the Learning Style Inventory (Learning Style Inventory - LSI) by David A. Kolb. Descriptive analysis and inferential analysis. The dominant learning style was the assimilator and identified the association between learning styles of older people and sex (p = 0.0372), age (p = 0.0450), schooling for males (p = 0.0155) and sex for seniors with even the elementary school level (p = 0.0166). The results of this study are in line with theoretical perspectives and findings in the literature with regard to sample characteristics and learning styles identified. Future studies should be conducted in order to investigate more about the topic of learning in the elderly. |

O presente projeto teve como objetivo identificar os estilos de aprendizagem predominantes de alunos idosos e verificar se há correlação entre os estilos de aprendizagem com as variáveis sociodemográficas. A amostra foi composta por 248 participantes do estudo “Educação Permanente – Benefícios da Universidade Aberta à Terceira Idade EACH USP”. Utilizou-se um protocolo que incluía o questionário sociodemográfico e o Inventário de Estilo de Aprendizagem (Learning Style Inventory - LSI), de David A. Kolb. Foram realizadas análises descritivas e análise inferencial. O estilo de aprendizagem dominante foi o assimilador e identificou-se a existência de associação entre estilos de aprendizagem dos idosos e sexo (p = 0.0372), faixa etária (p = 0.0450), escolaridade para o sexo masculino (p = 0.0155) e sexo para idosos com até o nível ensino fundamental (p = 0.0166). Os resultados do presente estudo estão alinhados às perspectivas teóricas e aos achados da literatura no que se refere à característica da amostra e aos estilos de aprendizagem identificados. Futuros trabalhos deverão ser realizados no intuito de investigar mais sobre a temática da aprendizagem em idosos.Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo2013-05-28info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistas.pucsp.br/index.php/kairos/article/view/1524810.23925/2176-901X.2012v15iEspecial14p155-179Revista Kairós-Gerontologia; v. 15 (2012): Número Especial 14 - Universidade Aberta à Terceira Idade e Velhice; 155-1792176-901X1516-2567reponame:Revista Kairós (Online)instname:Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo (PUC-SP)instacron:PUC_SPporhttps://revistas.pucsp.br/index.php/kairos/article/view/15248/11374Andrade, Ana LuizaOrdonez, Tiago NascimentoLima-Silva, Thais Bento deBatistoni, Samila Sathler TavaresYassuda, Mônica SanchesMelo, Ruth Caldeira deDomingues, Marisa AcciolyLopes, AndreaCachioni, Meireinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2019-11-29T00:32:54Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/15248Revistahttp://revistas.pucsp.br/index.php/kairosPRIhttps://revistas.pucsp.br/kairos/oaikairos@pucsp.br||flalodo@terra.com.br|| contato@openjournalsolutions.com.br2176-901X1516-2567opendoar:2019-11-29T00:32:54Revista Kairós (Online) - Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo (PUC-SP)false |
