The purpose of this study is to determine the distribution of student learning styles, to determine the average mathematical communication skills that have Auditory, Visual, and Kinestatic learning styles. and to find out if there are significant differences in the ability of mathematical connections between students who have auditory, visual, and kinesthetic learning styles. This research was conducted at SMAN 17 Pandeglang in class XII MIPA. The instrument used was in the form of a learning style questionnaire and a test of mathematical connection abilities. This type of research is a comparative study with a quantitative approach. Based on the results of data processing, that the distribution of student learning styles is included in the Auditory learning style of 34% of students, Visual 46% of students, and Kinesthetic 19% of students. By using a scale of 0-50, the average mathematical connection ability of students is 29.58, whereas when viewed from each distribution of learning styles, the average mathematical ability of auditory students is 24.89, visual students 28.33, and kinestatic students 34,40. Based on the results of the analysis with the ANOVA test and t test (Dunnet) that there is a significant difference in the ability of students' mathematical connections between auditory, visual and kinesthetic learning styles with a significant level of ? = 0.05, and the results of the value of Fcount &gt; Ftable = 3.62 &gt; 3,42, where the kinesthetic learning style has higher mathematical connection ability than auditory and visual learning styles.

Video games are especially popular with teenagers and young adults as a form of entertainment, and their time spent playing video games has grown exponentially. The main purpose of this study was to assess the effect of video games on cognitive functions and learning style in young people. A cross-sectional research study was used to investigate cognitive function in teen video game players. Cognitive functions, including memory, attention, and executive functions, were applied to 80 adolescents who were divided into two groups: those who regularly played video games (50) and those who did not play (50). Other data, such as demographics, medical information, types of video games, and time spent playing video games, were collected through the questionnaire. No significant difference was identified between the groups in terms of age and sociodemographic variables. Results indicated that visual memory and visual learning type scores were significantly better in the play group. Participants who were playing video games regularly indicated significant differences in visual type of learning (p=0.000). Whereas, no significant differences were found in other learning styles aural (p=1.000) and verbal (p=1.000)

Abstract Background Extensive factors affect students' learning such as their learning style, the identification of which is considered as important in solving the problems and shortcomings of educational system in the current situation. The present study aimed to determine the learning style of first-year medical students in the Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences in 2018.Methods In the present descriptive and analytical study, 111 first-year medical students at the university were included through census method. The data were collected by using VARK learning style standard questionnaire and analyzed using SPSS16 software based on the questionnaire guide.Results Most students had a multi-modal learning style (52%) although no significant difference was observed between preferring single- and multi-model styles. Among the multi-modal learning styles, bi-modal style was more applied by subjects (21.62%). In addition, aural and visual learning styles were determined as the most (20, 37.74%) and least (8, 15.09%) frequent styles preferred by students, respectively.Conclusion Due to the preference of most students to use multimodal styles, medical instructors should highlight the diversity of learners' learning styles and select appropriate methods for students' learning.

<p><strong>INTRODUCTION: </strong>learning is a human’s natural tendencies; therefore, the identification of factors affecting it, is very important in fixing problems and deficiencies in educational systems. One of the factors contributing to students’ academic achievement and increased learning outcome is to identify their learning styles leading to better and more satisfying learning. The aim of the present study was to examine learning styles in students of Medical Sciences.</p><p><strong>METHODOLOGY: </strong>The present descriptive-analytical study was conducted on 417 students of Medical Sciences selected based on cluster random sampling method in the academic year 2015-2016. The data were collected through a two-part questionnaire. The first part was consisting students’ demographic characteristics. The second part was validated VARK questionnaire to categorize learning styles in the students. The collected data were analyzed through descriptive statistics, Fisher’s exact test, Chi-square test and ANOVA in SPSS version 19.0</p><p><strong>RESULTS:</strong> The results showed the following average scores for students’ learning styles: read/write learning style (7.21±1.52), kinesthetic learning style (6.59±0.97), visual learning style (6.23±1.00), auditory learning style (6.00±0.84) and multiple learning styles (5.25±1.00). The results showed no significant relationship between students’ demographic characteristics and their learning styles (p&gt;0.05).</p><p><strong>CONCLUSIONS: </strong>Based on the results of this study, the most preferred learning style by medical students was the read/write style. Most university teachers believe that the cause of students’ academic failure is lack of studying; however, this failure may be due to a mismatch between students’ learning styles and teachers’ teaching styles. In view of that, one of the requirements for appropriate education is to examine students’ learning styles at the beginning of each educational year and apply appropriate teaching styles accordingly.</p>
