Resumo: Teaching in engineering courses can be improved by the knowledge of learning styles. Teaching practices understand are important to incorporate them efficiently in the classroom, looking for their strengths and distributing the similarities and differences between them. The proposed work investigated the predominant learning styles of students in a subject in the Sanitary and Environmental Engineering course using the Felder-Silverman method and applied teaching techniques to reach all students styles. The results indicate preferentially active, sensory, visual and sequential students, but with several variations, it is important to conduct modifications and improvements in the teaching method to achieve the maximum of all the styles observed. The subject was added practical classes in the field and computer lab, technical visits, activity reports and many motivational practices. In addition, modifications were made to the course evaluation process, which provided a higher level of learning, reflecting the increase in the number of approved students in relation to the previous semesters, reaching 90% of class approval.

Entender los instrumentos que son usados en las prácticas de la enseñanza es vital para incorporarlos de manera eficiente en el salón, trabajando sus puntos fuertes y distribuyendo las semejanzas y diferencias entre ellos. El trabajo propuesto investigó los estilos de aprendizaje predominantes de los estudiantes de una disciplina en el curso de Ingeniería Sanitaria y Ambiental utilizando el método Felder-Silverman y técnicas de enseñanza aplicadas para llegar a todos los estilos de los estudiantes. Los resultados indican estudiantes preferentemente activos, sensoriales, visuales y secuenciales, pero con varias variaciones, es importante realizar modificaciones y mejoras en el método de enseñanza para lograr el máximo de todos los estilos observados. A la disciplina se le sumaron clases prácticas en campo y laboratorio de computación, visitas técnicas, informes de actividades y muchas prácticas motivacionales. Además, se realizaron modificaciones en el proceso de evaluación de cursos, que brindó un mayor nivel de aprendizaje, reflejando el incremento en el número de alumnos aprobados en relación a los semestres anteriores, alcanzando el 90% de aprobación de la clase.O conhecimento dos estilos de aprendizagem pode ser um fator crucial para auxiliar no aprimoramento do ensino nos cursos de engenharia. Entender os instrumentos que são utilizados nas práticas de ensino é vital para incorporá-los de maneira eficiente em sala, trabalhando seus pontos fortes e distribuindo as semelhanças e diferenças entre eles. O trabalho proposto investigou os Estilos de Aprendizagem predominantes dos alunos de uma disciplina do curso de Engenharia Sanitária e Ambiental usando o método de Felder-Silverman e aplicou técnicas de ensino para atingir todos os estilos dos estudantes. Os resultados indicam alunos preferencialmente ativos, sensoriais, visuais e sequenciais, porém com diversas variações, sendo importante conduzir modificações e aperfeiçoamentos no método de ensino para atingir ao máximo todos os estilos observados. A disciplina foi acrescentada aulas práticas em campo e laboratório de informática, visitas técnicas, relatórios de atividades e muitas práticas motivacionais. Adicionalmente foram realizadas modificações no processo avaliativo do curso que proporcionaram um maior nível de aprendizado refletindo na elevação do número de aprovados em relação aos semestres anteriores, chegando a 90% de aprovação da turma.Research, Society and Development2020-09-25info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/844610.33448/rsd-v9i10.8446Research, Society and Development; Vol. 9 No. 10; e2549108446Research, Society and Development; Vol. 9 Núm. 10; e2549108446Research, Society and Development; v. 9 n. 10; e25491084462525-3409reponame:Research, Society and Developmentinstname:Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)instacron:UNIFEIporhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/8446/7577Copyright (c) 2020 Giovanni Chaves Penner; Hélio da Silva Almeida; Neyson Martins Mendonçahttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessPenner, Giovanni ChavesAlmeida, Hélio da SilvaMendonça, Neyson Martins2020-10-31T12:03:23Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/8446Revistahttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/indexPUBhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/oairsd.articles@gmail.com2525-34092525-3409opendoar:2024-01-17T09:30:55.017985Research, Society and Development - Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)false
