Abstract

This article examines the prevalent learning theories in English and Leadership subjects in Higher Education Institutions in Quito, from January to May 2023, through the non-participant observation technique. The qualitative methodology applied is based on the approach proposed by Tranfield and Denyer, which involves a literature review to support through the different existing learning theories.
The gathered information was analyzed and compared by creating tables of comparison between the learning theories applied in the classroom, which significantly influence in the learning of higher education students. The results, obtained after observing the classes and applying rubrics, showed that the most frequently applied theories were constructivism, cognitivism, and connectivism. This
choice was influenced by the topics covered and the activities carried out by the students.
