ANALYSIS OF VAK STUDENT LEARNING STYLE PGSD UKI TORAJA

Abstract

One of the factors that affect a person's learning outcomes is their learning style(Aryo Andri Nugroho, Ida Dwijayanti 2017). The division of student classes, taking into account each individual's learning styles; will greatly aid instructors in preparing teaching methods and materials that are appropriate for the students' learning styles. The VAK (Visual, Auditory and Kinesthetic) learning style was developed by Rita Dunn and Kennenth Dunn(Lehmann dan Ifenthaler 2012). Children with visual learning styles typically learn through external visual relationships, children with auditory learning styles learn more easily through listening, and children with kinesthetic learning styles learn through physical movements to input information into their brain(Sari n.d.).The aim of this study is to describe the results of the VAK analysis of the learning style (visual, auditory and kinesthetic) of students in the UKI Toraja PGSD study program in order to address issues related to the National Research Master Plan (RIRN) on Social Humanities, Cultural Arts, and education bureau can solve.
