    Published date: 30/04/2021

    Education is a dynamic process that can transform individuals. But for this process to be effective, teaching strategies in higher education institutions need to be improved. It is important that such an initiative considers some particularities of the students, in order to make the teaching-learning process more productive. This study aims to identify the learning styles of students of the undergraduate courses in hospitality and gastronomy at the Centro Universitario Senac campus Aguas de São Pedro (SP), and to propose teaching strategies that are suitable for the predominant profiles found. This research is exploratory and descriptive in nature, using a literature review technique and the application of a structured questionnaire. The questionnaire was applied virtually, in March 2020, and received a sample of 51 responses. In the description and analysis of the data, we see that the predominant learning style is the Converging style (43%), followed by the Assimilating (27%), Accommodating (17%) and Diverging (11%) styles. Some active teaching methodologies are suggested that place the student as the central agent of their training process.
