MORAES, Raíssa Bárbara Nunes  y  ZERBINI, Thaís. Learning Styles in DE context: Construction and evidences of instrument validity. Estud. pesqui. psicol. [online]. 2018, vol.18, n.1, pp. 149-168. ISSN 1808-4281.

The expansion of distance education (DE) projects and its training and qualification programs offered by higher education institutions (HEIs) and organizations creates the need of a higher number of systematic studies in this field. It's possible to emphasize the need for studies related to the customer profile variables as the Learning Styles. This research is focused in building and verifying evidences of the validity of a Learning Styles measuring instrument in the DE and HIEs context. Students enrolled in a higher education course in distance education of a public university from a city in the state of São Paulo attended virtually to this research. Exploratory factorial and intern consistency analysis were made in this study. The scale has three factors: Study Environment (2 items, α=0,76); External Regulation (4 items, α=0,63); Interpersonal Interation (2 items, α=0,40). This is a unpublished instrument in the Organization and Work Psychology in the DE and HIEs context. Therefore, it's requires more studies and apply it in different samples.

Palabras clave : learning styles; distance education; instrument validation.
