Estilos de aprendizaje y motivación académica

Abstract

This research focuses on the study of “Learning Styles and Academic Motivation”. its main objective is to investigate how different learning styles impact academic motivation; the study involved a population of 64 students. The research employed a quantitative methodology, which facilitated its development and the testing of hypotheses. It utilized numerical data analysis within a descriptive correlational design, complemented by a documentary bibliographic modality. The information collection instruments applied to the participants were the VARK Questionnaire and the Academic Motivation Scale (AMS). To test the study's hypothesis, Pearson's chi-square test was used with IBM-SPSS Statistics software. The correlation between both variables yielded a significance of 0.044, leading to the acceptance of the alternative hypothesis: Learning styles do influence academic motivation in tenth-grade students of the "La Inmaculada" Educational Unit during the 2024-2025 academic year
