Learning Style Determination of Elementary Students Reviewed From Gender Aspects

VARK learning style was developed based on the physiological aspect of students in the form of sensory modalities. This survey research was conducted at 30 elementary schools in Ambon City. Data analysis was done descriptively. The results showed that 88.7% of students used a learning style (unimodal) and 11.3% of students combined more than one learning style (multimodal). Among the unimodal learning styles, kinesthetic is most prevalent in male and female students with a percentage of 58.6%, whereas visuals are least found with 6% achievement. The study also revealed that multimodal learning styles were found at all bimodal, trimodal, and quadmodal combinations. The more level of blend of learning style, the less the frequency of determination of student learning style. The combination of multiple unimodal learning styles with large numbers will result in multimodal learning styles with large numbers
