Avaliação aplicabilidade do instrumento “questionário de identificação dos estilos de aprendizagem para farmacêuticos” : um estudo piloto

Abstract

In Brazil, research on learning styles is scarce, especially the attempts to measure this construct through standardized instruments for use in the educational context. We work in this study with the PILS "Phamaticists' Inventory of learning styles" post translated and adapted by Cardoso (2015). However, in this study we evaluated the applicability of the instrument "questionnaire identifying the learning styles for pharmacists" in pharmacy students in Brazil, characterizing the students' learning styles, as well as assessing if the translated and adapted PILS is in agreement with the Brazilian reality. To do so, we conducted a pilot study with 122 students from five regions of Brazil, identifying that pharmacy students are mostly assimilating and convergent, and teachers can create new strategies to improve teaching and learning quality according to these styles.
