This paper describes how to improve the academic performance of engineering university students through an Adaptive Educational Hypermedia System (AEHS). The psychological basis, learning styles and MOOMH methodology for the development of the system are exposed, which with its implementation achieves adaptability and works for students as an “intelligent tutor”, allowing them to guide their education as academic tutor. Not only shows its content that meets the needs of the student, but it is also represented in elements such as color adaptation, work tools and even academic recommendations based on the interactions that the user makes within the system, the system recognizes its pattern of use, and when the student is logged in again, it presents a friendlier interface that the student prefers use, it is wider in content and, above all, easy to use and understand. In addition, the AEHS allows to extend education allowing the assignment of more domain areas, in the field of engineering, that is, the SHAE can be adapted to various engineering specialties such as: industrial, software, telecommunications, mechanics and other.

Abstract Objective: There has been increased attention in recent years to mental health, quality of life, stress and academic performance among university students, and the possible influence of learning styles. Brief reliable questionnaires are useful in large-scale multivariate research designs, such as the largely survey-based research on well-being and academic performance of university students. The objective of this study was to examine the psychometric properties of a briefer version of the 39-item Adelaide Diagnostic Learning Inventory. Results: In two survey samples - medical and physiotherapy students - a 21-item version Adelaide Diagnostic Learning Inventory - Brief (ADLIB) was shown to have the same factor structure as the parent instrument, and the factor structure of the brief instrument was found to generalise across students of medicine and physiotherapy. Sub-scale reliability estimations were in the order of magnitude of the parent instrument. Sub-scale inter-correlations, inter-factor congruence coefficients, and correlations between ADLIB sub-scale scores and several external measures provide support support for the construct and criterion validity of the instrument.

In this paper we introduce a new design of an adaptive educational hypermedia system for job seekers, this proposal is based, for the part of learning objectives, on a job model which allows adapting the content and the path of education to the intended jobs, and, for the learner model construction, on a specific use of the learning styles of Felder and Silverman. First, we present existing literature to give a general review on adaptive edu-cational hypermedia systems, in that way; we have reported the related items to different notions in the adaptive educational Systems area as the differentiated pedagogy, the learning objects, and the learner profile. Then we argued our choice of the components of our model and we detailed the new ones. As designed, the model can produce a suitable learning path for the user to match the job characteristics and the learning style of the person in order to help the user owning the job sought. With the possibility of linking the required com-petencies to the education skills, we aim to map business tasks to learning activi-ties. Based on this approach, we designed an Adaptive Educational Hypermedia System named AEHS-JS that will help to improve the efficiency and pragmatism of job search activities. In plus of the social impact of this work as it help job seekers to complete their profiles and get the career they are looking for, this work will allow companies to find the candidates that match the job criteria sought.

The objective is to know the factors that make up the axes: academic performance and learning styles of the university students of the Mexican Republic, in addition to the attributes that make them up. We worked with a sample of 253 subjects. The information was processed by means of the descriptive analysis from frequencies and percentages, comparative with Student's t-test for independent groups and with integrative, exploratory factor analysis.It is an exploratory and descriptive quantitative, synchronous and transversal investigation t is indicated that the characteristics that identify young people such as: gender, age, city, state, institution, career, average, among others, influence the academic performance of students. In this way, the factors that affect student learning are presented. A summarized panorama of the research is presented: One of the conclusions is that, in trend, university students have a good academic performance, according to the study method, being the population of women with the most significant opinion. Likewise, it is observed that the variables that have greater objectivity which will give an educational innovation through factors. Finally, the innovative strategies that have emerged through the study phenomenon will be presented.

Engineering is a complex field of study.  Declining enrollment in engineering programs in the United States is of concern and understanding the various factors that contribute to this decline is in order.   Fostering a higher level of student engagement with the content may foster passion towards engineering which could increase academic competency as well as sustained interest in remaining in the profession.  This study examined the role of passion toward engineering content on students’ overall academic performance in an introductory course taught to university and high school students.  A pre-test, post-test, weekly surveys and periodic classroom observation measured levels of passion in the student, classmates, and professor. Mid-semester feedback prompted the professor to adjust his teaching for the purpose of infusing greater student passion towards the content. Results suggest that student passion in both settings fluctuated widely from week to week perhaps due to variable interest in the specific topic.  Overall, high school students’ level of passion remained more stable than that of university students and they performed better academically. Among university students, higher passion was not linked to higher academic performance.  Professor’s passion was highly valued by students though it did not increase their own passion.

In order to better prepare university students as proficient, versatile and productive information and industrial technologists in the 21st century, the need to implement instructional strategies and activities naturally align with their predispositions will make them better learners. This study examined the learning style preferences, study habits and level of academic achievement of students enrolled in applied science courses of Cagayan State University at Lasam, Philippines.  The study employed descriptive correlational research design to a total of seventy-five respondents who were purposively sampled. Two sets of standardized instruments were utilized by the researcher. Results of the study revealed that the students of applied sciences courses preferred visual, group and kinesthetic as major learning styles while they manifest a moderate level of study habits. They also have a good level of academic achievement. Test of difference revealed that academic performance, father's occupation and type of high school graduated from spelled significant differences in their perceptual learning styles. They also spelled differences in their study habits when grouped according to academic standing in high school, writing skills, mothers’ education, and test anxiety. Finally, there were significant relationships between learning styles, study habits and academic performance of students in applied science courses. The implications of the study can guide instructors plan and deliver suitable instructional interventions.
