Learning styles are different ways of understanding information. There are a lot of models and theories about learning styles one of which is the learning styles of VARK_ Visual, Audio, Read/Write, Kinaesthetic. Learners may have diverse mental abilities, affective orientations, motivations, and perseverance, but they can all use productive creative strategies. Also, significant research indicates that student self-disclosure plays an important role in the learning experience and producing positive learning outcomes. If student’s self-disclosure is based on their learning style, best results can be achieved. The main purpose of this article is to explain a scheme for improving the process of learning. In deeper learning uses their knowledge and skills in a way that prepare students for real life. So student self-disclosure with using senses according to VARK learning style leads to a deeper learning.   Key words: learning styles VARK; self-disclosure; deeper learning; learning style

Significant research indicates that student self-disclosure plays an important role in the learning experience and producing positive learning outcomes. Blogging is an increasingly popular web tool that can potentially aid educators by encouraging student self-disclosure. Both content analysis and focus groups were used to assess whether student self-disclosure reveals in descriptive, topical, and evaluative categories. The results indicate that blogging encourages student self-disclosure, and the implications of these findings are also discussed.

In EFL context, considering appropriate technique in teaching pronunciation is a pivotal issue since it could help students to learn how to pronounce English sounds easy. This study aimed to investigate the effect of tongue twister technique on pronunciation ability of students across different learning styles. This study involved 34 first-year English major students taking Intensive English course at Universitas Lambung Mangkurat, one of leading universities in Indonesia. The students in the experimental group were taught by using tongue twister, while those in the control group were taught by using repetition technique. The students were also grouped based on two types of learning styles, namely active and reflective learning styles referring to Felder and Silverman’s (1988) learning style model. The findings of the study showed that there was no significant difference in pronunciation ability between the groups. No significant difference was either found in pronunciation ability between students with active learning style and those with reflective learning style. In spite of the insignificant results, tongue twister is considered beneficial by the students as they perceived that practicing tongue twisters cultivated joyful learning and it helped them to improve their pronunciation, fluency, and motivation in learning English pronunciation. Tongue twister practice could complement the use of repetition technique to enhance students’ learning experience and learning outcome.

The purpose of the study was to determine whether there was a difference between learning outcomes based on VAK learning styles (visual, auditory, kinesthetic) in Integrated Social Studies subjects for seventh grade students of SMP Negeri 1 Patianrowo. Researchers used a comparative quantitative approach with a comparative causal design or ex post facto. The population in the study were all students of class VII, amounting to 295 students and the sample was 59 students taken from class VII H and I. The sample was taken using simple random sampling technique. The study used a questionnaire and documentation as data collection instruments. While the data analysis technique used kruskal wallis. The results showed that good learning outcomes based on visual learning styles were 20%, low learning outcomes were 60%, and moderate learning outcomes were 20%. Furthermore, good learning outcomes based on auditory learning styles are 68%, low learning outcomes are 3%, and moderate learning outcomes are 29%. Finally, good kinesthetic learning outcomes are 22%, low learning outcomes are 73%, and low learning outcomes are 5%. Based on these results, it can be concluded that there is a significant difference in learning outcomes based on learning styles using the VAK learning style in Integrated Social Studies subjects class VII SMP Negeri 1 Patianrowo. This can be seen from the sig value. namely 0.000 <from the significance level of 5% (0.05).

Classroom methods that facilitate student learning from iteration have received little attention from scholars. Iterative learning requires students to repeat a problem-solving task in new contexts each time applying lessons from previous applications. Iterative learning formats improve students’ learning outcomes and help instructors ensure that knowledge and skills learned in the classroom transfer to other contexts. This article describes the sequential use of three live case projects as a method to deliver an iterative learning experience. Providing students both formative and summative feedback from multiple sources and designing assignments and classroom activities to accommodate 4-week project cycles are key aspects of implementing iterative projects. Instructors in a broad range of managerial courses can adapt this course design to achieve similar significant learning outcomes.

In particular, social networking sites such as Facebook, which have become popular, have the potential to function as an educational tool enabling peer feedback, interaction, and learning in a social context. Preparing appropriate environments for learners with different needs is essential to learning in general and online learning in particular. Yet, in order to create such learning environments, educators must understand differences in students’ learning styles. Although some research focuses on the effects of individual differences such as age and gender on the use of social networking sites, experimental research related to students’ learning styles is still limited. This study used Kolb’s Learning Style Model to investigate differences in student learning outcomes and satisfaction using mobile Facebook for learning, according to learning style. Results showed that participants with “Assimilating” and “Diverging” learning styles performed better than those with “Accomodating” and “Converging” learning styles did and had higher self-efficacy, observational modelling and habit strength toward learning in mobile Facebook. The paper also makes suggestions for integrating mobile Facebook into class and recommendations for future research.</span></span></p>

The research aims to describe the influence of telegram-assisted blended learning strategies on mathematics learning outcomes in terms of learning styles. This research is a quasi-experimental research using 2x3 factorial design. The respondents taken is the second semester students majoring in informatics engineering at the STMIK STIKOM Indonesia campus. The sampling procedure in this study was a random sampling technique that was started by carrying out the equivalency test of 4 classes taken using the one-way ANOVA test. After that randomly selected, two classes as an experimental class and two classes as a control class. To get instruments that have validity before use, questionnaires and tests are first tested and validated by experts who are experts in their fields. Normality and homogeneity tests are needed as a prerequisite before analyzing the data. The method used to analyze data is two-way ANOVA. The results showed that (1) student mathematics learning outcomes taught with telegram-assisted blended learning strategies were better than conventional mathematics learning outcomes of students taught, (2) the effect of telegraph-assisted blended learning strategies on student mathematics learning outcomes in learning styles. Based on the results of the research that has been carried out, it is recommended that further researchers or educators be able to develop a blended learning strategy as a way to convey learning material so that they can pay more attention to the learning styles of each student and can develop telegrams with more attractive features so that the telegram becomes one of online application for learning media.
