Journal Title: Наука і освіта - Year 2017, Vol 0, Issue 6

Abstract

Indexes of learning styles of students majoring in “Biology and Chemistry” and “Chemistry and Informatics” were assessed by Felder-Soloman’s Index of Learning Styles. The respondents of both specialties demonstrate a pro- nounced active style of information processing and sensitive style of perception. They preferably use visual sensors for information perception. The difference between the specialties under comparison consists in learning patterns. The respondents majoring in “Biology and Chemistry” demonstrate preferred sequential style of understanding while the students majoring in “Chemistry and Informatics" are characterized by a balance between sequential and global styles. The characteristics of the preferred learning styles obtained in the experiment mainly conform to those of students of natural science and computer specialties at universities of the world.
