Identification of Informatics Engineering Student Learning Styles in the Independent Learning Era

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the characteristics of student learning styles based on visual, auditory and kinesthetic learning styles as well as the characteristics of learning styles based on the surrounding environment. The research method uses descriptive qualitative. The research sample was using a random technique so that the total sample was 43 students. The instrument of this research is a questionnaire with 3 indicators of visual, auditory and kinesthetic as well as how the role of the surrounding environment in determining student learning styles. Supporting instruments using interview techniques. The data analysis technique used descriptive statistics and qualitative descriptive analysis. Based on the results of the study, it is known that the identification of student characteristics on learning styles is seen from visual learning styles (28%), auditory (31%) and kinesthetic (41%). Characteristics of learning styles in the form of environmental identification based on student interaction are learning alone (23%), studying with others in a calm state (28%) and learning with others by doing something (49%). Identification of the environment based on outdoor learning places is 77% and the percentage of indoor learning is (23%). Based on the identification results, the majority have the habit and desire to learn outside the classroom in developing their competencies, this is in line with the heutagogy learning strategy, namely independent learning, developing their own learning strategies, developing theoretical and practical materials together with people or groups who can work together.

The Effect of Visual Auditory, Kinesthetic Learning Styles on Students' Learning Interest at Christian Junior High School

“…Therefore, the effect of kinesthetic learning style on students' learning interest at Palangka Raya Christian Junior High School was considerable, with an 84.3% effect. These results were consistent with the findings who explained that students tended to have a kinesthetic learning style and it significantly contributed to their learning interest (Sumarsono & Firanti, 2021).…”

“…To achieve this, a teacher must always strive to present interesting lessons and provide motivation and learning guidance to students so that they can develop their learning potential and creativity through the teaching and learning process. Learning can affect the process of thinking skills and behavioral changes (Ramdan & Fauziah, 2019;Sumarsono & Firanti, 2021). A teacher should also be able to understand how students learn.…”

“…In the learning process, a specific approach is needed to support the achievement of learning objectives. An educator must be aware of learning styles to facilitate effective teaching strategies (Manuaba & Putra, 2021;Sumarsono & Firanti, 2021). Learning styles are a combination of how students absorb, organize, and process information.…”

Light Wave Digital Learning Material with Augmented Reality and CTL Model to Improve Students' 4C Skill

“…Student characteristics can affect student learning outcomes later. By knowing student characteristics, teachers can choose the right learning resources, the right learning mode, and organize the class to make learning more (Deslauriers, L., Schelew, E., & Wieman, 2019;Sumarsono & Firanti, 2021). The analysis results are one of the reasons for the importance of developing digital materials for teaching with Augmented Reality integrated with the CTL model.…”
