Covid-19 is a highly contagious virus and spreads very quickly throughout the world. This has a broad impact on all segments of social life, including education. Responding to this, the Indonesian government temporarily eliminates the teaching and learning process in schools and conducts learning from home. Educators are required to be able to provide instruction to students in accordance with this situation and condition faced. Therefore, it is important for teachers to understand the learning styles of their students as an orientation for determining appropriate learning media. This study explores the learning styles of students at Madrasah Aliyah Negeri 1 Semarang and discovers the most suitable learning media in accordance with the students’ learning styles. The results showed that visual learning style was the most preferred so instructional videos were found as the most appropriate teaching media.

The purpose of the study is to explore the preferred language learning styles of the undergraduate students based on their gender. In Pakistan, the traditional lecture method is commonly used at the undergraduate level which is teacher centred (Hussain, Azeem & Shakoor, 2011), not accounting for the learner and learning style differences. The difference in learning styles varies from one individual to another; thus, influencing the overall language learning process and performance (Manochehr, 2006). The present study used a mixed method approach, with Kolb’s learning style model (1986) as the basis of the theoretical framework to determine individual learning styles. The sample was selected through purposive sampling technique and comprised of 60 undergraduate students and 10 teachers who were teaching English to these students. Data was collected from the students studying English at the undergraduate level and their teachers by using survey questionnaire and semi structured interviews respectively and was analysed in the form of descriptive statistics. The findings of the study confirmed that gender differences had a direct influence on the learning style preferences of the students. Moreover, both male and female students showed a tendency for Active Experimentation (AE) style of learning, indicating that they want to be actively engaged in their own learning process, instead of merely listening to the lectures being delivered in the traditional method. In addition, although the findings indicated that the teachers were aware of the differences in the learning styles based on gender, but their teaching practices did not account for the preferred learning styles of the students. These results can be further utilized to improve the teaching and learning styles for the students at the undergraduate students.

Learning styles refer to the strategies and processes that facilitate learning and understanding the concepts. So, teachers can incorporate their learning styles in their curriculum activities.  It also, will help students to be more attracted to learning session and instantly give attention to the session undertaken by the teachers. The purpose of the experiment is to ascertain the learning styles of learners using the VARK questionnaire. This study is an analysis of learning style for 100 Iraqi and Syrian Persian learners completed a VARK questionnaire to determine if their learning styles are auditory, reading/writing, visual or kinesthetic. Out of 100 participants who responded the questionnaire, their preferred learning style was visual by 12 percentages, 16 auditory, 13 Reading/writing and 20 kinesthetic. According to data analyze, we provide implications for improving learning process. Keywords: Learning styles VARK; Visual; Aural; Reading/writing; Kinesthetic; Arabic Persian learners

In active learning, students engaged in several activities that can stimulate them to think and interact with the information presented, so as to create their own understanding and information through reflection. Students who are able to understand learning well will be satisfied with the learning process that occurs. Learning satisfaction can be determined by the teaching and learning process conducted by lecturers, but it can also be seen from the behavior of students in receiving learning in class. This study aims to determine the effect of active learning on student satisfaction with learning style as a moderating variable. This type of research used in quantitative explanatory research using path analysis. 73 students of accounting education courses in 2016 were examined in this study. In this study, the sample was taken by using a random sampling technique. Based on the results of the study indicate that there is a direct effect of active learning variables on student satisfaction and there is an indirect effect of active learning variables on student learning decisions through learning styles. This means that the influence of learning styles possessed by students is able to determine the amount of student learning satisfaction in class. Keywords: Active Learning, Learning Satisfaction, Learning Style

Information technology and education have been working hand in hand. Advancement in computer technology has altogether opened up limitless educational innovation. With the rise of popularity of social networking sites (SNS) such as Facebook, educators have been eager to test the usefulness and effectiveness of SNS in the teaching and learning process. This paper summarizes the findings of a case study with the use of a social networking software; Mahara. Participants are 46 students of a technical vocational university in Taiwan. Students are grouped together and assigned a certain task to accomplish with the use of Mahara. Enabling the collaborative functions of SNS to accomplish the task, students are later surveyed with regards to their learning styles, perceived collaborative learning and constructivist internet-based learning environment (CILES) preferences. Result shows that the participants’ collaboration is highly significant to their CILES preferences. While, there seems to be no significant effects of learning style towards the participants’ CILES preferences. Recommendations are given to further the improvement of SNS use in education.

<p>The past twenty-five years have seen a dramatic increase in the interest given to dialogue between teachers and students, and students and students during mathematics teaching and learning. This interest is evident within the growing body of research and the call for the increased quality and quantity of student discourse in curriculum and policy documents. Recent research in mathematics education is underpinned by the belief that students learn best when they have the opportunity to participate in their own and others’ mathematical talk, text, and actions in purposeful and meaningful ways.  This study explores how teachers position themselves and students in their lowest and highest mathematics strategy groups and how that positioning influences the sharing of mathematical know-how. Mathematical know-how within this study comprises teacher and student independence, judgement, and creativity.  Social-constructivist theories of teaching and learning underpin the focus of this study. The importance of teachers and students constructing and co-constructing individual and shared mathematical understandings through dialogically rich interactions with each other and the environment are considered. Positioning theory provides the theoretical lens through which mathematical know-how will be analysed and understood. The constructs of positioning theory important to this research were the teachers’ and students’ positions, enacted as their rights and duties, the storylines that develop through the positions, rights, and duties and the teachers’ and students’ social acts which come to have significance and be a social force within the teaching and learning.  The decision to employ qualitative case study methodology arose naturally from the subjective social phenomenon of teaching and learning. The analysis of data generated through video and audio recordings, transcriptions, participant observations, and documents and archival records supported the development of the two cases: teacher affording positioning, and teacher constraining positioning.  The particularised and investigative design of qualitative case study supported the development of an emerging taxonomy of teacher affording and constraining positioning. The taxonomy contributed to the growing body of knowledge regarding student participation by categorising new thinking in regards to the phenomenon of teachers and positioning in mathematics. Teachers in this study afforded the sharing of mathematical know-how from the position of appropriator, procurer, and provoker. The positions of controller, proprietor, and protector were found to constrain the sharing of mathematical know-how.  Significant differences were revealed in how teachers positioned themselves and how their positioning influenced opportunities for student engagement. Higher levels of student talk, text, and actions were evident when teachers positioned themselves to ensure the mathematics was visible, fluid, and contestable. Collaboration between teachers and students, and students and students, was a strong feature of the emerging taxonomy.</p>
