The paper explored the features of information acquisition by people with different individual learning styles in accordance with the VARK classification (Visual, Auditory, Reading, Kinesthetic), which is popular in the educational field, using a comparative analysis of memorizing the details of fiction and scientific texts, as well as the brain's electrical activity during reading and listening.It is revealed that the way of presenting the text corresponding to the individual learning style does not increase the efficiency of memorizing its details.Audials, better than visuals, learned the content of a fiction text, when it is visually presented. Audials and kinesthetics demonstrated the worst long-term memorization of the details of a fiction text, regardless of how it was processed. It is shown that, regardless of the dominant learning style, listening to the text is accompanied by a greater cognitive load compared to reading, which was reflected in a generalized increase in spectral power in the theta EEG range. Reading was accompanied by a greater spectral power in the delta range in comparison with listening to texts for representatives of all learning styles, except visuals. In the kinesthetics, the spectral power of the high-frequency beta range of the EEG increased in the left temporo-occipital zones, while reading a fiction fragment, which indicates higher level of psycho-emotional tension in comparison with listening. The brain mechanism for maintaining attention and working memory during perception of information had specific EEG correlates in subjects with different individual learning styles, which, however, did not affect the differences in the efficiency of information assimilation by representatives of these groups.

This article analyses the different modalities of applying the theory of learning styles in the teaching-learning-assessment process.On the assumption that the mode of receiving information influences how we learn, the researchers Richard Bandler and John Grinder created the Neuro linguistic programming theory. Learning that considers the neuro-linguistic paradigm is an inclusive learning type, which harmonizes the individual needs of the learner with concrete ways to meet those needs. This type of differentiated training represents a tool which allows teachers to achieve the best possible correspondence between their teaching strategies and individual learning styles.To support our arguments, we created an example of teaching activities using the Neuro linguistic paradigm in mathematics lessons. This example illustrates how each student can be directed in the process of solving tasks useful in the issue demonstration, tasks which are appropriate to his learning style.

Abstrak Belajar dapat diartikan sebagai proses dari suatu individu yang mengalami perubahan perilakunya akibat bertambahnya pengalaman. Kemampuan seseorang dalam memahami dan menyerap informasi ketika proses belajar pasti berbeda tingkat waktunya, ada yang cepat, sedang maupun lambat. Perbedaan kecepatan ini dipengaruhi beberapa faktor, salah satu faktornya adalah cara atau gaya belajar dari individu tersebut. Gaya belajar memiliki 3 jenis yaitu visual, audio dan kinestetik, pelajar dapat mengetahui gaya belajar yang sesuai dengan cara melakukan tes dengan menjawab pertanyaan-pertanyaan yang berkaitan dengan cara belajar individu. Tujuan penelitian ini yaitu membuat aplikasi identifikasi gaya belajar berbasis web menggunakan metode incremental. Diharapkan dengan adanya penelitian ini dapat memberikan kontribusi kepada pelajar agar menemukan gaya belajarnya dan berdampak pada pemahaman menyerap informasi ketika proses belajar lebih cepat. Kata kunci : gaya belajar, visual, audio, kinestetik, metode incremental Abstract Learning can be interpreted as the process of an individual who experiences changes in behavior due to increased experience. The ability of a person to understand and absorb information when the learning process must be different levels of time, some are fast, medium or slow. This speed difference is influenced by several factors, one of the factors is the way or learning style of the individual. Learning styles have 3 types, namely visual, audio and kinesthetic, students can find out the appropriate learning style by doing tests by answering questions related to individual learning methods. The purpose of this study is to create a web-based learning style identification application using incremental methods. It is expected that this research can contribute to students to find their learning styles and have an impact on understanding absorbing information when the learning process is faster. Keywords : learning style, visual, audio, kinesthetic, incremental methods

The paper discusses the opportunities to improve the personalization of the education through the use of ICT. One approach to achieve this by providing appropriate learning materials, depending on the individual learning of each student is suggested. Two different theories for determining the individual learning styles are presented and the appropriate ICT educational technologies for each style are defined. Also an experiment with the 10th grade students at Georgi Karavelov Secondary School in Shivachevo, Sliven for defining their individual learning style was provided and the results are analyzed. In addition an investigation of the possibility to apply ICT educational technologies among the students from 9 to 12 grades in Information Technology at Georgi Karavelov Secondary School in Shivachevo is discussed.

Every human being was created by the Creator with all the uniqueness and characteristics of each. This arises as individual differences (individual differences). Individual differences are differences in abilities and characteristics (cognitive, personality, physical skills, and so on) between students at a certain age level and in each particular group. Through educational practices and activities, we can accommodate the individual differences of students. Likewise, the learning styles of each other are also different. There are visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learning styles. It is important to recognize the learning styles of students so that teachers can vary their teaching styles, learning methods that are suitable to be applied in the learning process. As a technique, we must be able to choose various ways that can accommodate these differences personally and optimize the improvement and interpersonal skills of each student in the long term, especially when viewed from the learning style so that it can be carried out optimally. Individual differences that need to be considered in the implementation of classroom teaching are factors related to the readiness of children to receive teaching because these differences will determine the education system as a whole. Factors that influence individual differences are self-concept (self-concept), locus of control, student anxiety, learning motivation.

Foreign language teaching to medical students depends on solving various institutional problems. In this sense, its effectiveness is a variable which influences the level of education at the university. Effectiveness of academic education depends on two groups of conditions- one is the purely material aspect- the place and conditions in which education takes place, the financial resources and the second one includes the psychoemotional aspect of training- the so-called didactic costs which include the physical and emotional efforts invested in the process of training both on the side of the lecturer and student. One of the ways to improve effectiveness is by restricting didactic costs- the less the psychoemotional tension and anxiety- the better results would a student achieve. Giving the student the opportunity to “manage his/her own manner of learning” and placing the student in the centre of the educational process would inevitably lead to increasing student motivation.Another mechanism to achieve effectiveness and quality of education is through activating the inner motivation of students to learn a foreign language. The latter is influenced by factors such as concentration, attention, a feeling of complete participation in the process of training, lack of fear of failure, assuming responsibility for the achieved results etc. A new aspect of contemporary learning success is differentiation in education, introduction of the individual, personal style of learning of each student. An appropriate instrument or tool in achieving motivation is for the learning process to follow and conform to the different learning styles of students. The individual learning style implies the individual preferences in perceiving and memorizing information. The aim of the present paper is to identify these styles in students from the Medical University – Plovdiv and thus to identify their satisfaction with foreign language learning. The survey was conducted in 2017 among 140 students from 16 countries. A written questionnaire and a psychological test were used to gather the data. Determinants for satisfaction were identifies as: the material setting and technological equipment, personal characteristics of the teacher and the microclimate in the student group. An adapted LSI (Learning Style Inventory) specifically adapted for Bulgaria which includes four types of approaches to the learning process- specific experience, reflective observation, abstract conceptualization and active experimentation was used. The results are distributed according to gender, specialty, year of studies and Kolb’s learning styles- divergent, assimilative, convergent and accommodative. The leading learning style according to our survey proves to be the convergent on with women having higher values (32,14%) than men (24,28%), next comes the assimilative learning style with men having higher value (17,14%) as opposed to women (14,28%). The accommodative is next – 5% of women and 3.57% men prefer this learning style and the least proffered one is the divergent one – 3,57% of women and 2,88% of men prefer it.

Existen diversos estudios que proponen las causas de la Enfermedad de Alzheimer (EA), las cuales pueden ser: biológicas, genéticas, cronológicas y ambientales, dentro de ésta última se encuentra el estrés como una influencia para el inicio de dicha patología. Según las distintas teorías del estrés, el sujeto, al encontrarse frente a una situación estresante, sufre diversos cambios en su cuerpo para sobrellevar dicho acontecimiento. El cerebro es el encargado de poner al cuerpo en alerta y en marcha para actuar frente a dicho cambio. El estrés prolongado conlleva a alteraciones en las vías cerebrales, específicamente un daño neuronal del hipocampo, el cual es el encargado de los recuerdos y memoria. Éste al verse afectado, repercute en la memoria del sujeto y por lo tanto empieza a fallar; el sujeto se ve en la incapacidad para recordar y realizar distintas actividades rutinarias. Mediante la investigación documental y encuestas a profesionales de la salud, se obtuvo información tanto del estrés como de la Enfermedad de Alzheimer para luego concluir en la influencia del mismo en el origen de la enfermedad. Se concluye que el estrés perenne repercute en la muerte de neuronas del hipocampo lo que conlleva a la EA. AbstractThere are different studies that propose that the causes of Alzheimer might be biological, genetic, chronological and environmental. Within the environmental aspects, the stress influences the beginning of this pathology. There are several studies that propose the causes of Alzheimer's disease (AD), which can be: biological, genetic, chronological and environmental, within the latter is the stress that influences the beginning of this pathology. According to different theories of stress, the individual, while facing a stressful situation, experiences many changes in the body in order to deal with this situation. The brain is in charge of alerting the body to protect itself against that change. The long-term stress alters the brain pathways, producing specifically a neuronal damage in the hippocampus that is responsible for memories and memory. This affects memory and therefore individual begins to fail, and then, the person cannot remember how to do the daily routine. Through bibliographical research and surveys applied to healthcare professionals, information was obtained on both stress and Alzheimer's disease to establish the influence of that condition on the disease. The study concludes that long-term stress affects the death of neurons in the hippocampus, which leads to AD.
