Abstract

The changes in students entering college, especially concerning learning style and the way they perceive themselves, seem to be related to performance. They set a goal to investigate whether a relationship exists between changes in learning styles and self-concept to academic performance of those who start college. From a population of 205 students who entered the University Initiation Cycle of USB, we applied the learning styles questionnaire and self-concept, at two different times, these questionnaires were associated with the academic index at the end of their academic period. It was concluded that those who changed in learning styles were favored in their academic performance. In relation to self performance may or may not be satisfactory.
