Geometry ability in Senior High School Students: Based on Learning Style

Procrastination is a complex psychological and behavioral construct that is strongly influenced by certain personality traits. In mathematics learning, students find it difficult to master the concepts because of less exposure to learning styles. Poor knowledge of mathematical concepts leads to academic procrastination in the subject of Mathematics among students. Therefore, this study aims to identify students' learning styles in Mathematics, identify the stages of students' academic procrastination in Mathematics, and determine whether there is a significant influence of learning styles (visual, auditory, and kinesthetic) on academic procrastination among secondary school students in Mathematics. A quantitative approach with a survey was applied. A total of 500 Form Two and Form Four students in five national secondary schools in the Kota Bharu district, Kelantan, were selected using simple random sampling. The duration of data gathering started from 4 October 2022 until 31 January 2023. The Learning Styles Questionnaire and the Academic Procrastination Questionnaire were adapted and verified by eight experts in psychology and counseling. Descriptive and multiple regression tests were carried out using IBM SPSS version 26.0. The results revealed that the visual learning style was the most dominant learning style among students in the subject of Mathematics, followed by auditory and kinesthetic. The level of students' academic procrastination in Mathematics was low. Besides, multiple regression showed that visual and kinesthetic learning styles were significant contributors or predictors, which amounted to 14.1% of the variation in students' academic procrastination in Mathematics. The implications of this study highlight the possibility to improve programs in schools by exposing students to suitable learning styles so that they can practice effective learning styles in Mathematics and consequently overcome academic procrastination. Further research can be carried out by identifying other factors that encourage academic procrastination in the subject of Mathematics in order to increase students' motivation and self-efficacy.

Consideration to the learning styles benefits students to participate more enthusiastically in the class activities and to be more confident in answering questions asked by the teacher. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between learning styles and research morale among students of the second grade high school in Shiraz, Iran. Population of the study included all students of the second grade high school in four areas of Shiraz in the academic year of 2015- 2016. A number of 345 students were selected using multi-stage cluster sampling method. Research tools included the Kolb’s learning style questionnaire and the research morale questionnaire by Mohammadsharifi (2013). The results were analyzed by SPSS and Lisrel Software’s. Results showed that the dominant learning style among the students was a convergent learning style. No difference was seen between research morale of male and female students. Among all learning styles, convergent and divergent styles had a significant association with research morale. Moreover, there was a significant multiple correlations between convergent, divergent, assimilation, and accommodative learning styles and research morale. The finding revealed that the two learning styles of convergent and divergent were stronger predictive of research morale. This study may confirm the role of learning styles in developing research morale and approve the hypothesis that in learning, both convergent and divergent styles should be considered.

Understanding the concept is essential in learning mathematics, where it is possible to have different achievements based on the characteristics of students' learning styles. Therefore, this study wants to describe the ability to understand mathematical concepts in terms of students' learning styles. This qualitative research was conducted at MTs Negeri 2 Semarang. Of the 31 grade VIII students at the school, it was found that 42% had a visual learning style, 32% had an auditory learning style, and 26% had a kinesthetic learning style. Furthermore, research subjects were selected purposively based on mapping learning styles, and six students were obtained. Data collection techniques used learning style questionnaires, concept comprehension tests, and interviews. Data analysis techniques use interactive models and check the validity of the data using triangulation. Research data management and analysis using Nvivo software. The results showed no significant difference in conceptual understanding between subjects with visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learning styles. The six subjects can do the test correctly and have been confirmed through interviews. However, the two visual learning style subjects cannot show the location of the mean, median, and mode of data presented in the diagram. This finding suggests that teachers should emphasize using various mathematical representations in student learning.

Learning style is the style practiced by certain individuals in the learning process that distinguishes them from other individuals. Every student has a different learning style based on their ability and comfort level. There are three more general learning styles which are Visual, Auditory, and Kinesthetic (VAK) learning styles that students usually have. This study aims to examine the relationship between visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learning styles on students' High-Level Thinking Skills (HTS) in the topic of Respiration in Form 3. A quantitative study through a survey research design was carried out involving a total of 60 Form 3 students from a school in the Tanjong Malim district with using simple sampling techniques. The two research instruments used are the learning style questionnaire and the HTS test. The data obtained was analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) software version 27. The results of the analysis showed that the overall mean for each questionnaire item was at a medium-high level, namely auditory learning style (3.81) followed by visual (3.78) and kinesthetic (3.68). Pearson's correlation findings show that there is a significantly low positive relationship between kinesthetic learning style (<0.019), on the other hand, there is no significant relationship between visual learning style (<0.135) and auditory learning style (<0.070), with students' KBAT. In conclusion, the kinesthetic learning style is able to apply students' high-level thinking in the topic of Respiration. The implication of this study is that teachers need to pay full attention to teaching strategies that target students with visual, auditory and kinesthetic learning styles. Appropriate teaching strategies and techniques can help students to improve higher-level thinking skills in Science.

The purpose of this study was to describe the process of students' mathematical connections in solving mathematical problems in terms of learning styles. The type of research used is descriptive research with a qualitative approach. The research subjects were six students consisting of two students who have a visual learning style, two students who have an auditory learning style, and two students who have a kinesthetic learning style. Student learning style data were collected through learning style questionnaires, while student connection process data were collected through mathematical connection test sheets and interviews. Data credibility is done by triangulating sources and methods. Data from the six subjects consisting of two students for each of these learning styles were described and categorized from the same, different, and specific views. The subjects obtained from the results of the learning style questionnaire were compared using the results of the mathematical connection test and interviews. Data analysis was guided by four steps to solve Polya's problems and was carried out in three stages, namely data condensation, data presentation, and conclusions. The results showed that there are differences in the mathematical connection process carried out by students who have visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learning styles in the step of understanding the problem. However, there are similarities in the mathematical connection process carried out by students who have visual and kinesthetic learning styles at the step of compiling a completion plan and checking again. while students who have a different auditory learning style from students who have visual and kinesthetic learning styles in implementing the completion plan and re-checking. The process of mathematical connection of students who have an auditory learning style at the step of checking back cannot be seen, because these students do not take this step when solving problems. Researchers suggest that teachers need to accustom students to connecting mathematics both internally and externally and pay attention to the emphasis of the material given to students so that students' mathematical connections are more developed. because the student did not take this step when solving the problem.
