Item Preferencias sensoriales y aprendizaje significativo(Universidad Técnica de Ambato-Facultad de Ciencias Humanas y de la educación -Carrera de Psicopedagogía, 2025-06-30) Jerez Miranda Stephanie Beatriz; Morales Jaramillo María Belén; Universidad Técnica de Ambato-Facultad de Ciencias Humanas y de la educación -Carrera de PsicopedagogíaThe present research, titled "Sensory Preferences and Meaningful Learning", was developed with students from third to tenth year of Basic General Education at the "Los Sauces" Educational Unit. The main objective was to determine how sensory preferences affect meaningful learning in students. The study followed a mixed approach, with a descriptive, exploratory, and correlational methodological design. Both bibliographic research and field research were used to theoretically support the variables and collect empirical data directly from the studied population. The theoretical review included key concepts, theories, models, and styles related to sensory preferences and meaningful learning, gathered from reliable academic sources such as scientific articles and theses. For data collection, two instruments were applied: the VARK test, used to identify sensory preference types (visual, auditory, reading/writing, and kinesthetic), and a semi-structured questionnaire on meaningful learning, adapted to the students' characteristics. These instruments allowed analyzing the relationship between both variables. Finally, the data were subjected to statistical analysis using the Chisquare test, which verified the hypothesis. The results showed a significant relationship between sensory preferences and meaningful learning, confirming that these preferences directly influence the processes of knowledge acquisition and understanding in students.
