Résumé

Cet article a pour objet de faire connaître aux éducateurs et chercheurs une méthode permettant la réalisation de programmes d'études adaptés aux styles cognitifs de chaque étudiant. Un instrument servant à l'observation systématique des styles cognitifs fut élaboré et validé par l'auteur. Cette technique d'observation, AORO, mesure l'approche que privilégie l'étudiant pour capter le monde extérieur. Cet instrument de mesure élaboré à partir des études de Jung sur les types introvertis et extravertis classe les étudiants en deux catégories, ceux tournés vers l'action et ceux tournés vers la réflexion. Bien que de nombreux chercheurs aient identifié des traits identiques et mis au point certains tests « diagnostiques » de travaux écrits susceptibles d'identifier divers styles cognitifs, l'AORO demeure cependant le seul instrument d'observation systématique conçu pour déterminer les schèmes d'apprentissage que préfèrent les étudiants.
