Patrons d'aprenentatge dels universitaris llatinoamericans i espanyols

In this paper, the authors analyse and discuss the learning patterns of higher education students from Spain and three Latin-American countries (Colombia, Mexico and Venezuela). The study is based on Vermunt's model about learning processes, which claimed that there exist four learning patterns. In this respect, the authors consider that there are four main components (learning conceptions, learning orientations, regulation strategies and processing strategies) that explain the learning behaviour (learning patterns).
