Graphic Design is used in many industries and involves both the knowledge and skills in creating artefacts. Many Deaf and hard-of-hearing (DHH) students, especially in the Technical and Vocational Education and Training  (TVET) institutions are attracted in pursuing studies in this field, perhaps due to the visual nature of the course. However, learning graphic design is challenging for DHH students due to the technologies and teaching approach applied in these institutions. A module which was designed with experts, was implemented in a selected polytechnic which offered the graphic design course for the deaf and non-deaf students. The module used videos and other resources for the different learning styles, as well as a discussion platform on Padlet, and quizzes. An exploratory implementation study on 15 DHH students who volunteered to use the module was conducted. The students’ interactions were monitored and the results of their pre and post-tests during the implementation of the module was analysed to determine if the module was effective for learning. The findings indicate that students could use the module based on their learning styles and were active interacting on Padlet. The results of the pre and post-tests show a significant increase in scores, indicating the effectiveness of the module. Hence, the module has the potential to improve understanding in graphic design among DHH students. The findings have implications on the design of modules for DHH and special needs students. This is in line with TVET aspiration, which is to provide equal access to quality education for all. Further investigation should be done to determine whether the module could be used for other programs involving special needs students.

This study aims to prove the effect of expectations using information technology, learning styles on interest in using information technology, and readiness for change in training for State Civil Apparatus at the State Administrative Institution (LAN) in Samarinda. The results of the analysis conclude from the data of 167 research samples using the WarpPLS program that expectations of using information technology and learning styles have a positive and significant effect on interest in using information technology, as well as expectations of using information technology and interest in using information technology on readiness for change. However, the learning style has a negative and significant effect on readiness for change. The results of this study conclude that the more you apply the conventional face-to-face learning style, the lower the readiness for change. conceptual material training is carried out online (online) while the practical one is carried out offline.

The purpose of this research was to describe the profiles of students&#39; strategic competences that havevisual, auditory, and kinesthetic learning style in solving mathematics problem. There were three subjects,one visual student, one auditory student, one kinesthetic student, which were chosen from the eleventhgrade students of Science with high mathematical abilities, good communication skills, and the samegender. The instruments used were the VAK learning style test, the mathematics ability test, themathematics problem solving test, and the interview guidelines. The results obtained the description ofvisual student profile, auditory student profile, and kinesthetic student profile in selecting andimplementing strategies when formulating, representing, and solving problems, as follows: (1) visualstudent read silently, imagined, and drew to understand the problem; mentioned the known and unknowninformation verbally with the help of images; used images and symbols to represent problems; observed,analyzed and broke down images to find relevant concepts and formulas; solved the problem using thoseconcepts and formulas. (2) Auditory student read in a low voice and drew to understand the problem;mentioned the known and unknown information verbally and in writing; used images and symbols torepresent problems; observed images and recalled her knowledge to find relevant concepts and formulas;solved the problem using those concepts and formulas. (3) Kinesthetic student read silently while drawingto understand the problem; mentioned the known and unknown information verbally followed by her bodycues; used images and symbols to represent problems; observed, analyzed and broke down images to findrelevant concepts and formulas; solved problems using those concepts and formulas; random checked toexamine her solution. The results of this study are important as information for mathematics teachers aboutthe strategic competences of visual, auditory, and kinesthetic students in solving mathematics problems.From this information, mathematics teachers are expected to be able to design learning that can facilitateall students in developing their strategic competences.

The development of the future professional graphic design requires the constant use of didactic and financial resources for learning, the product of a growing market and with greater demands due to global growth. This directs the way to the use of teaching strategies in correspondence with the style of student learning that strengthen their potentialities. The objective is to evaluate the learning styles present in the students assigned to the Graphic Design program of FADLUZ, to generate teaching and motivational strategies that stimulate their learning. A descriptive and field research was considered, the sample consisted of 59 Students active and enrolled in the curricular units of the Instrumental Axis of the Graphic Design Program of the FADLUZ who were administered the Kolb Learning Styles Inventory of 1985 through a form in Google Form. Most students learn using Reflective Observation (OR) and are inclined primarily to two learning styles. The Assimilator with 51% followed by Divergent with 32% identified that the trend is towards a more balanced learning. To conclude that the identification of the type of learning style in Graphic Design students does not lead to a particular type of active teaching strategy, even though efforts can be focused on the design of activities, selection of educational material, presenting information, creating or not working groups and modifying the aspects to be evaluated. It is important for the student to identify their learning style to strengthen their training process. Likewise, motivation should be fostered that fosters the interest to learn, without neglecting the fact of knowing what strategies can be implemented according to the style of learning.
