LEARNING APPROACHES AND STYLES IN HIGHER EDUCATION

In this article a study on learning approaches and styles in University students is presented. We analyse students profiles and how they respond to the academic demands of the university environment. We also analyse the relationship between the approaches to learning and learning styles proposed by Biggs and Myers-Briggs. The sample is made of 360 students of different university degrees. The results suggest there is a relationship between approaches to learning and learning styles as well as an association of features of the learning style with the deep and superficial approaches.
