The Impact of Educational Technology on the Learning Styles of Students

In the context of a knowledge based society, the main issue is to form and develop in the new generations the competences of learning how to learn by developing a dominant learning style. Students have to be taught how to manage a large volume of information in a relatively short time, switching from various teaching styles (taking into account the many teachers they come in contact with) to their own learning style, as well as how to adapt to the different and increased difficulty of the learning tasks, or how to integrate into a new group (when passing onto a new educational level). The study reflects how the educational technology influences the learning styles of students. (C) 2013 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
