INTRODUCTION. Each individual has cognitive and physiological traits that allow them to perceive and interact within the learning processes. OBJECTIVE. The objective of this study was to determine the learning styles, in the students of the Basic Education career of the Faculty of Human Sciences and Education of the Technical University of Ambato, during the year 2018, in addition to establish the relationship with demographic variables. METHOD. A quantitative design was used, with a descriptive scope and using a case study. The characteristics related to learning styles were described in a sample of 198 university students (H = 68; M = 130) from the first to the seventh semester, with ages between 18 and 46 years, (M = 21.90, SD = 3.28). RESULTS. Among the results obtained, the reflective learning style stood out as predominant in the learning activities. On the other hand, no differences were found based on sex, age and level of training. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS. It is concluded that there is no significant relationship at the 0.05 level with the students' own way of learning.
