The purpose of this study was to determine: (1) the influence of the value clarification technique (VCT) learning model on student learning result. (2) Knowing the influence of learning styles on student learning result. (3) Knowing the interaction between learning models and learning styles on student learning result.   The population of this study were students of class VIII MTs Al-Hasanah Tanjung Leidong Labuhan Batu Utara consisting of three classes. The sample chosen for the class with the VCT learning model was class VIII-3 with 30 students, while students who were taught using the expository model were 32 students. The cluster random sampling technique is influenced by analysis of variance at a significant level (α = 0.05) followed by Scheffe. The results of this study are: (1) the average value of students taught with the VCT learning model (= 33.6) is higher than students taught with the expository learning model (= 24.68) with Fcount 0.0023 < Ftable 3,988. (2) The average value of learning outcomes Akidah Akhlak with visual learning styles (= 27.5), auditory (= 29.56) and kinesthetic (= 28.26) with Fcount = 0.068 < Ftable = 3,988. (3) There is an interaction between learning models and learning styles on students' learning outcomes Akidah Akhlak with Fcount 28.96 < Ftable 3,988. Based on the data analysis, it can be concluded that students with visual and auditory characteristics, the appropriate learning model is the VCT, while students with the kinesthetic learning style are expository. The implication is that teachers must be trained in how to understand student learning styles. Thus it is suggested that in planning the learning process the characteristics of students must be considered.

Learning styles may be classified according to the sensory modality that one most prefers to use when internalizing information. The four major sensory modalities are visual, aural or auditory, read/write, and kinesthetic. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between preferred learning style, gender, and course scores in an undergraduate physiology class. Students from the fall 2008 and spring 2009 Applied Human Physiology courses completed an online questionnaire in which they were asked to both provide descriptive information about themselves (e.g., gender and major) and self-assess their preferred sensory modality. A total of 901 students completed the questionnaire, 75% of which were female and 25% were male. The results from a χ2-analysis (χ2 = 9.59, P < 0.05) indicated that females and males had significantly different learning style preferences. Females most preferred visual learning (46%) followed by aural (27%), read/write (23%), and kinesthetic (4%). Males most preferred visual learning (49%) followed by read/write (29%), aural (17%), and kinesthetic (5%). There was also a significant relationship ( P < 0.05 by ANOVA) between preferred sensory modality and course scores. The mean overall course scores were 83.53 ± 8.25, 85.58 ± 8.18, 84.98 ± 7.78, and 76.70 ± 7.92 for those that preferred visual, aural, read/write, and kinesthetic modalities, respectively. These results support the findings of Wehrwein et al. ( 18 ): that female and male physiology students have different sensory modality preferences and that they provide the first step in determining if sensory modality preferences impact final course scores.
