Abstract

Open Educational Resources (OER) are considered significant vectors of change due to their flexibility and transversality at all educational levels, also allowing customization based on learning styles. In this study, four OER were designed according to the theory of Honey and Mumford (1986) (Active-Reflective-Theoretical-Pragmatic), for the competence in digital information management. Through a training activity designed for research, the Learning Styles of university students (N=394) were identified with the CHAEA questionnaire (Alonso, 1992) and the OERs were assigned, one corresponding to their style and another, to the contrary, at the end of the study. the students valued the interest and adequacy of the analyzed resources. Among the results, it is observed that both in the assessment of interest and adequacy (structure, time, instructions and objective) the scores are higher when the OER adapts to their style, except in the perception of the time used by the students of Active and Theoretical style. It is concluded that the adaptation to styles allows personalization because it increases interest and improves assimilation by students. Being free access resources, it is possible for them to be reused, in accordance with e-Learning standards, for training in skills.

Francisco Javier Lena-Acebo, Universidad de Cantabria, España

PhD from the University of Cantabria, electronic physicist and psychologist, I divide my time between research and training at various levels of formal education - undergraduate and postgraduate university education and secondary education - and the training of teaching and research staff. Passionate about the Maker world, open innovation and development and the collaborative economy, I am part of FabLab Santander. My field of research covers topics ranging from the essential aspects of the psychology of learning, the psychological involvement in economic decisions or the pathology of addictions to the use of ICT in the management and administration of the company and in decision making, BigData, Digital Manufacturing or the collaborative economy.
