A influência dos temperamentos no processo de aprendizagem dos aspectos introdutórios da contabilidade

Abstract

The way students learn is influenced by their internal characteristics, creating opportunities for the study of temperament in the educational context, as it enables the identification of individual differences in the learning process. This study aims to explain the relationship between temperament, learning style, and motivation among students enrolled in an Introductory Accounting course at a higher education institution located in the interior of Minas Gerais, Brazil. The findings revealed a predominance of the phlegmatic temperament. Reflective observation emerged as the most prevalent learning style, characterized by an analytical and introspective approach, which is consistent with the predominant temperament identified. Regarding motivation, most students exhibited integrated/intrinsic motivation, associated with the pursuit of future benefits, such as professional development and an improved quality of life. Furthermore, the analysis demonstrated that temperament is associated with both learning style and motivation.
