Abstract :
In introduction of the paper we define academic learning and identify, from the specialized psychopedagogical literature, its structural factors: age factors, individual factors such as cognitive, emotional–motivational and behavioral factors and also group factors related to students activities and students learning context. In the second part of the paper it discusses several meanings and classifications of learning style after different criteria and authors: David Kolb, Peter Honey and Alan Mumford, Barbe Walter Burke, Neil Fleming. Part three analyzes the learning style of students in the technical field and the relationship between the learning style and the teaching style, analysis that led to the formulation of questions that generated the research hypothesis. The two hypotheses of the research are: 1. In view of the specifics of learning in the technical field, of technical skills and competences training, the most common learning style would be the practical style, predominantly. 2. The learning style of pupils/students mainly reflecte the teaching style used by the teachers (their circularity). In the fourth part of the paper we present the description of research: sample that consists of 104 students from 7 technical colleges, VAK type questionnaire developed by Adriana Nicu from ”L. Blaga” University of Sibiu, Romania, and characterization of learning styles. In the fifth part there are presented the research results regarding distribution of learning styles, students gender, faculty belonging of the students. In the sixth part, interpretation of the results is presented in relation to these two hypothesis. The findings reinforce the image character of the society we live in, and materialize a differentiation between technical colleges to which the research was applied on learning styles.a
