What about learning styles research in Peru?

About learning styles theory around the world, there is a plethora of research in L.S. devoted to discovering relationships between L.S. and specific student achievement outcomes: drop rate, completion rate, attitudes about learning, and predictors of high risk. As you see, a great deal of people has been talking about learning styles research lately, generating great interest and controversy for more than 20 years. Concerning this, I myself asked this question: What about recent research papers in L.S. matters done by Peruvian scholars? Pleasantly, I found a lot of research on L.S. applied to a different level of education to identify, explore and comprehend the L.S. of our students; recognize which styles are the most predominant; determine the critical variables that influence the process of learning in a group with specific characteristics. I think I will keep reading about this controversial theme. The most interesting thing is that a lot is going on in multiple different websites on the internet; just now, I'd like to share some Peruvian scholars' research with you on LS I've found.
