Σκοπός της παρούσας διατριβής είναι η μελέτη της επίδρασης των εφαρμοζόμενων διδακτικών στρατηγικών για την διδασκαλία της Χρηματοοικονομικής στη διαμόρφωση των μαθησιακών στρατηγικών των φοιτητών και στην ανάπτυξη των δεξιοτήτων κριτικής σκέψης, με την χρησιμοποίηση της οικονομετρικής τεχνικής της quantile regression (QR). Η επισκόπηση της διεθνούς βιβλιογραφίας καθώς και η έρευνα για την παρούσα διατριβή δείχνουν, αφενός ότι στους συγγενείς επιστημονικούς χώρους της Οικονομικής, της Χρηματοοικονομικής και της Λογιστικής εφαρμόζονται διδακτικές στρατηγικές που βασίζονται στη μέθοδο των διαλέξεων και φαίνεται να επηρεάζουν την διαμόρφωση των μαθησιακών στρατηγικών και αφετέρου ότι η χρησιμοποίηση διδακτικών στρατηγικών ενεργού εμπλοκής των φοιτητών στην μάθηση μπορεί πράγματι να επηρεάζει τη διαμόρφωση των μαθησιακών στρατηγικών και να συμβάλλει στην ανάπτυξη δεξιοτήτων κριτικής σκέψης. Από την ως άνω επισκόπηση έχει καταφανεί ότι η στατιστική ανάλυση των ως άνω επιδράσεων στηρίζεται, κατά το πλείστον, σε υπολογισμό συντελεστών συσχέτισης, σε ανάλυση της διακύμανσης καθώς και στην χρησιμοποίηση της κλασικής παλινδρόμησης. Η διαμόρφωση των μαθησιακών στρατηγικών εκτιμάται μέσα από την διαμόρφωση των τρόπων και τύπων μάθησης των φοιτητών, με τη χρησιμοποίηση του Learning Style Inventory (LSI) του Kolb και του Learning Styles Questionnaire (LSQ) των Honey και Mumford. Με το LSI (που χρησιμοποιήθηκε και στις δυο φάσεις της έρευνας) εκτιμάται η προτίμηση προς τέσσερεις τρόπους μάθησης (Απτή Εμπειρία, Στοχαστική Παρατήρηση, Αφηρημένη Αντίληψη Εννοιών και Ενεργός Πειραματισμός), με βάση τους οποίους προκύπτουν τέσσερεις τύποι μάθησης (Αποκλίνων, Αφομοιωτικός, Συγκλίνων και Διευκολύνων). Για την εκτίμηση του επιπέδου ανάπτυξης των δεξιοτήτων κριτικής σκέψης των φοιτητών, χρησιμοποιείται το California Critical Thinking Skills Test (CCTST), δημιουργημένο από τον Peter Facione με βάση τα συμπεράσματα της Delphi Report (American Philosophical Association). Το CCTST εκτιμά πέντε επιμέρους δεξιότητες κριτικής σκέψης (Ανάλυση, Αξιολόγηση, Συμπερασμός, Επαγωγικός και Απαγωγικός Συλλογισμός) καθώς και την συνολική ικανότητα στις δεξιότητες κριτικής σκέψης. Η έρευνα δια την συγκέντρωση παρατηρήσεων διενεργήθηκε σε δυο φάσεις: στην πρώτη εκτιμήθηκαν μόνο οι τρόποι και τύποι μάθησης με τη χρήση των LSQ και LSI και στην δεύτερη εκτιμήθηκαν οι τρόποι και τύποι μάθησης με τη χρήση μόνο του LSI καθώς και οι δεξιότητες κριτικής σκέψης με τη χρήση του CCTST. Η στατιστική ανάλυση των δεδομένων της έρευνας στηρίζεται στη χρησιμοποίηση του οικονομετρικού μοντέλου της quantile regression (QR), με το οποίο μπορούν να υπολογιστούν συντελεστές ακόμη και για τα 99 εκατοστημόρια της κατανομής της εξαρτημένης μεταβλητής, αυξάνοντας θεαματικά την αντλούμενη πληροφόρηση, έναντι της κλασικής παλινδρόμησης. Προκύπτει έτσι ένα σημαντικό ερμηνευτικό πλεονέκτημα, το οποίο φωτίζει την επίδραση που ασκείται σε όλο το εύρος της κατανομής και συμβάλλει στην εκτενέστερη και βαθύτερη κατανόηση των ασκούμενων επιδράσεων. Αυτή η δυνατότητα έχει κατ’ εξοχήν σημασία στην ερμηνεία της αλλαγής της προτίμησης από τον έναν τρόπο μάθησης στον διαμετρικά αντίθετό του και την ενδιάμεση κατάσταση της ισορροπημένης μάθησης, για κάθε μια από τις δυο διαστάσεις μάθησης του μοντέλου Εμπειρικής Μάθησης του Kolb. Η QR χρησιμοποιείται επίσης για την έρευνα της επίδρασης των διαμορφωμένων τρόπων και τύπων μάθησης στην ανάπτυξη των δεξιοτήτων κριτικής σκέψης. Θεωρητικά υποστηρίζεται ότι ο Συγκλίνων μαθήτυπος του μοντέλου του Kolb υπερτερεί στην επίδοση στις δεξιότητες κριτικής σκέψης, υπόθεση που δεν τεκμηριώνεται στην περίπτωση που αναπτύσσεται ισορροπημένη προτίμηση προς τους τέσσερεις τρόπους μάθησης. Οι εν λόγω επιδράσεις τεκμηριώνονται με την ανάλυση των δεδομένων από την πειραματική εφαρμογή διδακτικού μοντέλου ενεργού εμπλοκής των φοιτητών στην διαδικασία διδασκαλίας-μάθησης της Χρηματοοικονομικής με τη χρήση της QR. Τα βασικά συμπεράσματα της παρούσας διατριβής είναι τα εξής: α) Το μαθησιακό περιβάλλον που διαμορφώνεται από την εκάστοτε εφαρμοζόμενη διδακτική στρατηγική επιδρά διαφορετικά σε κάθε τμήμα της κατανομής της εξαρτημένης μεταβλητής. β) Η ανάπτυξη ισορροπημένης προτίμησης προς τους τρόπους μάθησης είναι επωφελέστερη, έναντι της επιλεκτικής προτίμησης, για την ανάπτυξη δεξιοτήτων κριτικής σκέψης. γ) Η διάδραση που αναπτύσσεται μεταξύ των φοιτητών σε ομάδες που απαρτίζονται από διαφορετικούς τύπους μάθησης ασκεί σημαντική επίδραση στην ανάπτυξη ισορροπημένης μάθησης και στη βελτίωση του επιπέδου των δεξιοτήτων κριτικής σκέψης. δ) Η εκτίμηση πολλών συντελεστών παλινδρόμησης με την χρήση της QR διευρύνει σημαντικά την ερμηνεία των επιδράσεων των ανεξάρτητων στις εξαρτημένες μεταβλητές, έναντι άλλων απλών στατιστικών μέτρων καθώς και της κλασικής παλινδρόμησης. ε) Στον τομέα της διδασκαλίας στον επιστημονικό χώρο της Χρηματοοικονομικής στην Ελλάδα, η παρούσα εργασία είναι μοναδική και πρωτότυπη και η συμβολή της είναι καθολική, αναδεικνύοντας ταυτόχρονα ένα οικονομετρικό μοντέλο – την QR – σε ερμηνευτικό εργαλείο των σχέσεων που αναπτύσσονται στην διδακτική πράξη.

The industrial revolution 4.0 in the field of education provides convenience in learning methods and processes. Internet-based technology makes it easier for students to learn independently, quickly in providing feedback, and freely choose material from library sources from anywhere. As a result, student learning styles change along with the development of internet-based technology. In the coursework, students can read and combine various writings from several sources, and in-class when students present assignments of learning materials that have been read so that they are easily understood by other students. Likewise, in completing paper assignments from lecturers, students can read various papers given by many lecturers. This happens because of the students' understanding of the assignments given by the lecturer. The purpose of this study was to identify the learning styles of students of the Biology Education Study Program, STKIP PGRI Sumatera Barat on the development of internet-based technology in the industrial revolution 4.0.
