study aims to describe the creativity skills of Junior High School students in solving cube and cuboid problems based on student learning styles. The research instruments used were creativity skills tests, a learning style questionnaire, and interviews. As many as three seventh graders who have different learning styles: visual, auditory, and kinesthetic, working on a cuboid/cube problem. Their performances on such a problem were then assessed regarding fluency, flexibility, and novelty. The results showed that the visual learner produced two different solutions with two different methods/strategies and completed his solution by providing a lot of illustrations/representations although they could not be categorized as novelty solutions. Meanwhile, the auditory learner provided two different solutions with two different methods/strategies. More particularly, he determined the appropriate size and found a suitable size by using a three-variable linear equation for the cube and cuboid problem although he produced some mistakes and uncompleted on the work procedures. Lastly, the kinesthetic learner provided two different solutions with one method/strategy, such as by directly determining the various correct sizes for the problem-solution although the answers could not be categorized novelty for creativity skill. Further studies are suggested to involve more participants to get a wider insight on the students’ creativity for different learning styles.

Index Of Learning Styles

The current study investigated EFL students’ learning style. The study was a survey study followed by 30 junior high school students in Singaraja Bali. In identifying students’ learning style, the updated Index of Learning Styles (ILS) developed by Felder and Silverman (1988) was used. The result of data analysis found that the majority of students prefer visual (76.7%), active (66.7%), sensing (60%), and global (53.3%). The result of this study implied that teachers should adjust their way of teaching to accommodate students’ learning style. They can apply various learning media such as video, animated pictures to motivate the students in learning.

Kinesthetic Learning

Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) study and the Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) is one of the principles in curriculum development in Indonesia. Judging from the results of the PISA study, the achievements obtained by Indonesian children especially in the aspects of mathematical literacy have not been satisfactory. The low achievement is inseparable from the learning process in schools, one of which students are not accustomed to solving questions with characteristics such as the PISA context. In addition, the way students absorb information also determines how learning achievements will be obtained by students. The way students learn is often referred to as a learning style. This indicates that the mathematics literacy of junior high school students in Indonesia is so weak that they still have difficulty in solving PISA questions. As a result, many mistakes were made by junior high school students when faced with PISA questions. The purpose of this study was to describe the errors of students with visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learning styles in solving space and shape content PISA questions. Students' errors were analyzed from the adaptation of Newman's error analysis model namely comprehension, transformation, proccess skills, and encoding. This type of research is qualitative descriptive. Data collection techniques that be used are tests and interviews. The results showed that students with visual learning styles tend to make mistakes in the transformation step. Whereas students with auditory learning styles tend to make mistakes in understanding and transformation steps, and students with kinesthetic learning styles make mistakes in the steps of understanding, transformation, and process skills. This shows that students who have kinesthetic learning styles do not have a tendency in one type of error. Keywords: Error analysis, PISA, VAK Learning Style

Item Types

In the past years, most traditional item analysis only analyses difficulty and discrimination of each item, and test analysis only analyses overall test reliability and validity. As a result, EFL educators are lack of information on students’ response data for both students’ learning styles and item types in test questions preparation. Thus, the study presents the various item types of the English achievement assessment of Junior High School Students in Taiwan, and illustrates the various learning styles of the EFL students. The participants were randomly selected from one thousand four hundred and forty two junior high school students, who participated in Taiwan Assessment of Student Achievement in Junior High School English (TASA) held by National Academy for Educational Research (NAER). The data was analyzed based on the dichotomous scoring and the Student-Problem Chart Analysis. The result of Caution Index for Students shows that high achievement students account for one third of the sample students. However, the other students were classified as learning abnormality, inattention learning, and lack of learning adequateness, insufficiency learning, and lack of academic ability. Also, the result of caution index for problems shows that the test items of English Achievement Assessment were capable of measuring the English achievements of junior high school student and it also can differentiate high achievers from the low achiever in Taiwan. To improve the further test question preparation, only partial revisions are suggested for National Academy for Educational Research (NAER).

The Relationship

The objectives of this study were to profile the relationship of scientific attitude level and learning style preference among junior high school students in Bandung. This study utilized a survey research design with a total sample size of 110 students. A scientific attitude questionnaire and a visual, auditory, and kinesthetic (VAK) learning style inventory were administered in this study. The questionnaire measures five aspects of scientific attitude, specifically rationality, curiosity, open-mindedness, aversion to superstition, and objectivity. The VAK learning style inventory evaluates the preferred means of receiving sensory information. The scientific attitude questionnaire provided consistent results, as indicated by its reliability coefficient (0.896). The results show that junior high school students have an average level of scientific attitude and generally prefer a kinesthetic learning style.  There was a medium relationship between scientific attitude and learning style among the students (Cramer’s V coefficient = 0.239).  It is concluded that learning style must be considered in implementing a science lesson, especially in the Indonesian context.
