Estilos de aprendizaje y actitudes ante la investigacion cientifica en Estudiantes universitarios

This work’s purpose is to establish the association between the variables learning styles and attitudes toward scientific research in university students. It is a descriptive correlational study, with a population of 1,513 and a sample of 195 university students of the various professional careers of the Hermilio Valdizán National University of Huánuco - Peru. They were evaluated with Kolb’s Inventory of Learning Styles IEA and the Scale of Attitudes toward Scientific Research EAHIC. The results obtained with the chi-squared χ2 show that there is a degree of significant correlation, with a contingency coefficient c = 0.62. Finally, it was discovered that the divergent learning style is dominant in the sample, so was the uncaring attitude toward scientific research.
