Resumen

Las investigaciones en el ámbito de estilos de aprendizaje de los estudiantes han ayudado a los docentes a esclarecer los métodos pedagógicos que utilizan en la enseñanza de una lengua. Los expertos han identificado que los estudiantes pueden mejorar la adquisición de una segunda lengua al reconocer el estilo de aprendizaje con mayor afinidad. Sin embargo, este hecho puede variar dependiendo el contexto y las generaciones de los estudiantes. Por esta razón, el objetivo de este estudio fue explorar los estilos de aprendizaje de estudiantes de nuevo ingreso en una universidad pública en el sureste de México. Para dicho fin, se utilizó un enfoque metodológico basado en la encuesta. El instrumento de recolección de datos consistió en el cuestionario de Kolb sobre los estilos de aprendizaje, cuya consistencia interna fue validada a través de la prueba KR-20 con un resultado de 0.72. Los resultados señalan que los estudiantes son más propensos a un estilo de aprendizaje divergente. Las implicaciones pedagógicas que emergen de ello son que los estudiantes pueden comprender una situación desde diferentes puntos de vista; también prefieren actividades relacionadas con el proceso de identificar un problema, analizarlo y encontrar una solución, así como una interacción directa con situaciones de la vida real.
