The Relationship Between Locus of Control and Learning Styles in University Education

Abstract

The present research aims to highlight the relationship between locus of control and learning styles. The study was attended by 225 students from several faculties with a humanistic profile in the University of Bucharest, aged between 22 and 23, both male and female. Statistically significant differences in terms of locus of control depending on learning styles, are to be measured in terms of the dependent relationship between the two variables (p < 0.01). On the other hand, we aimed to highlight gender differences depending on learning styles and locus of control (p < 0.01). The results can be used in the adaptation of teaching methods in the university environment.
