Abstract

Efeitos da Cognição, Meta-Cognição e Estratégias Sócio-Afetivas em Estudantes Universitários

No campo da psicologia cognitiva, o estudo das estratégias de aprendizagem e ensino despertaram um interesse crescente.  Este trabalho mostra o efeito da aplicação de um módulo chamado "aprender a aprender" aplicado a estratégias de aprendizagem em estudantes do segundo ciclo da Universidade Nacional da Amazônia do Peru. A abordagem quantitativa foi utilizada, o desenho foi quase-experimental e o instrumento um questionário de auto-relato. A amostra foi um grupo de cento e vinte e três estudantes universitários (n=120). O efeito do módulo aprende a aprender não apresenta uma melhoria significativa (p>0,05) nas estratégias de aprendizagem. A maturação e a motivação interna foram fatores que poderiam explicar este achado.

Effects of Cognition, Meta-Cognition and Social Affective Strategies through application of the module "Learning to Learn" in University Students

ABSTRACT. In the field of cognitive psychology, the study of learning and teaching strategies has aroused a growing interest.  This work shows the effect of the application of a module called “learning to learn” applied to learn strategies in students of the second term of the National University of the Amazonia from Peru. The quantitative approach was used, the design was quasi-experimental and the instrument a self-reporting questionnaire. The sample was a group of one hundred twenty-three university students (n=120). The effect of the module learns to learn does not present a significant improvement (p>0.05) in the learning strategies. Maturation and internal motivation were factors that could explain this finding.
