Abstract

This study aims to: Know the effect of VAK learning styles on students 'mathematical problem solving abilities, Know the contribution of each learning style to students' mathematical problem solving abilities, Know the effect of VAK learning styles on e-learning, and Know the contribution of each learning style to e-learning. This type of research is a quasi experiment. The population in this study were all grade VII students of SMP Negeri 1 Binjai and the sample in this study were 3 classes of 96 students. The results showed that there was influenceVAK learning style on students' mathematical problem solving abilitiesof Fcount = 2.746 greater than Table = 2.70; and there are contributions significant from each of them VAK learning style on students' mathematical problem solving abilitiesin SMP Negeri 1 Binjai that is overallby 8.2%, visual learning styles by 8.1%, auditory learning styles by 0.9%, and kinesthetic learning styles by 2.1%. Next there is influenceVAK learning style towards e-learning learningof Fcount = 2.783 greater than Table = 2.70; and there are contributionssignificant from each of them VAK learning style towards e-learning learningin SMP Negeri 1 Binjai that is overallby 8.3%, visual learning styles by 6.4%, auditory learning styles by 1.2%, and kinesthetic learning styles by 5.2%. Thus it can be concluded that there is an influence of VAK learning style on students' mathematical problem solving abilities based on e-learning in SMP Negeri 1 Binjai.

Highlights

  • Education is a process of educating, which is a process in order to influence students to be able to adapt themselves as best as possible to their environment, so that it will cause changes in themselves

  • As revealed by Abdurrahman (2012) that from various fields of study taught at school, mathematics is a field of study that is considered the most difficult by students, both those who have no learning difficulties and more so for students who have learning difficulties

  • In the world of education various methods are known to be able to meet the demands of individual differences. This is in accordance with the opinion of DePorter & Hernacki (2016) that "The problem may be a mismatch between the student's learning style and the teacher's learning style"

Summary

Introduction

Education is a process of educating, which is a process in order to influence students to be able to adapt themselves as best as possible to their environment, so that it will cause changes in themselves. Cooney (Hudojo, 2015) said that teaching students to solve problems enables students to be more analytical in making decisions in life. It is considered the most difficult part in learning it and for teachers in doing it. In the world of education various methods are known to be able to meet the demands of individual differences. This is in accordance with the opinion of DePorter & Hernacki (2016) that "The problem may be a mismatch between the student's learning style and the teacher's learning style". Students experience a mismatch between the learning styles of the teacher and the learning styles they have
