Analysis of Differences in Learning Achievement Reviewed From Learning Style (Study on Biology Students Batch 2021)

Abstract

Abstract. Tracking learning style profiles is an important thing to do in an educational institution, including universities, to support the success and learning achievements of students. At the university level, learning achievement is indicated by the achievement index (GPA) at the end of each semester. This research aims to determine the profile of learning styles and learning achievements of students in the biology education study program and to see whether there are differences in student learning achievements in terms of their learning styles. This research is descriptive research with a quantitative approach. . The population in this study were students from the 2021 Biology Education Study Program with a total of 108 students. The research sample was 86 students from the Biology Education Study Program Class of 2021 out of 108 students who were determined using the Simple Random Sampling technique. The instrument used in this research is a non-test instrument in the form of a learning style questionnaire. The research results obtained include: the learning style tendencies of biology students in the Class of 2021 are varied, 45% of students tend to have a Kinesthetic learning style, 40% Visual and 15% Auditory. The average learning achievement of the 2021 batch of biology students is in the good category. Hypothesis testing shows that there is no significant difference in learning achievement when viewed from the learning styles of biology students.Key words: Learning Style, Learning achievement, Differences of learning Style, Biology Student
