ABOS OLIVARES, Pilar; TORRES SABATE, Concepción  and  FUGUET BUSQUETS, Joan. Learning And rural school: The vision of students. Sinéctica [online]. 2017, n.49. ISSN 2007-7033.

This paper presents the partial results of a research project where the incidence that the multigraduate rural school has on its students was studied, within the framework of a phenomenological qualitative paradigm, resulting in a first exploratory study on the conceptions, motivations and learning strategies of the students, according to the model on learning factors (SAL). The submitted results refer to the meanings that the students infer regarding three variables related to their learning, based on the answers given in semistructured interviews and the analysis of the ideas underlying their content. With regard to the conception of learning, the results show that students play an important role in their socialization function; furthermore, the importance of classmates and the relationships between them are considered keys to a successful learning. On the other hand, in reference to learning strategies, the individualistic vision of the students is significant, considering learning as a personal and non-transferable process of each of them, which does not, then, hang together with what has been expressed previously. Concerning motivation for learning, a study-prize relationship of a superficial approach to learning predominates.

Keywords : learning; learning factors; school performance; rural school.
