The learning process has been the focus of numerous studies, but remains complex and affected by many factors. Since hardly any attention has been paid to how students learn and how teachers teach in many institutions, this quantitative descriptive-correlational study was conducted to determine the learning styles and attitude towards learning of nursing students. A sample of 304 nursing students was selected from all the nursing schools in Marawi City, Philippines using stratified proportionate random sampling technique with replacement. Results revealed that the four learning styles (Visual, Auditory, Tactile, and Kinesthetic) were found to have been used by the students simultaneously as major learning styles and most of them expressing a preference for kinesthetic learning style (78%). On the other hand, they expressed a minor and negligible preference for group Learning. The results of the questionnaire on the attitude towards learning revealed a high level of academic comfort and a preference towards structured, spontaneous, and person-centered approaches to learning. The study concludes that out of the six learning styles tested; only group learning style is found to have no significant relationship with the participants’ attitude towards learning. Based on the findings, the researcher recommends that faculty members should take into consideration the differences among the students when designing the course material.

The skill to think analytically is an important skill for students to have, where the skill to think analytically helps students solve problems in science lessons that require an analytical skill to solve them. The research method is qualitative with a naturalistic design. This research was conducted at some Junior High schools in Ponorogo using the purposive sampling technique. Data were collected using in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation, then analyzed using quantitative descriptive and qualitative descriptive. This study aims to determine the profile of students' analytical thinking skills in solving problem-based problems in the grade 8th at pressure material and determine the pattern of its relationship with scientific exploration. The results showed that: 1) the profile of the analytical thinking skill in terms of the learning styles of students, namely the visual style subjects intend to explain what is known through the direct explanation in more detail, the audiovisual subjects are more likely to form simpler patterns with reasoning patterns generalization and on kinesthetic subjects tend to apply different (unique) concepts, but still have a relationship with the problem, 2) the pattern of the relationship between analytical thinking skills and learning styles, namely the exploration of science, which includes aspects of experience, reasoning, modalities, and the mindset of students. Through the results of this study, it is hoped that it can provide theoretical and practical insights for educators in determining approaches and strategies for achieving science analytical competence according to students' learning styles at school.

Learning style is one of the significant elements in learning process that helps students achieve their learning goals. Nevertheless, students should be aware of their own style in learning which make them maximally enhance learning. Therefore, in study, the researcher examined students’ awareness of learning styles and their perception of their learning styles. A quantitative descriptive research was used in this study. Then, the data was collected through online questionnaire distributed for 100 students of fifth semester of English Language Education Department by using random sampling technique. VARK (Visual, Auditory, Reading, and Kinestetic) questionnaire created by Fleming and Likert scales were used to explore the issue under investigation. Findings of the research showed that students had moderate to high awareness of their learning styles. Within the context of this study, this findings were new in a way that it showed students’ perception on learning styles and how it affected their learning experiences. the Moreover, research findings also indicated that students believes that  the learning styles they adopted helped them in achieving their learning goals supported by their learning environment. The result of the study indicated that students preferred visual learning styles.

Abstrak Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pemecahan masalah dari masing-masing gaya belajar yang berbeda. Penelitian ini termasuk dalam penelitian deskriptif-kualitatif. Popuasi yang diambil dalam penelitian ini adalah siswa SMPN 1 Kibin tahun ajaran 2019/2020. Teknik pengambilan sampel penelitian menggunakan teknik cluster random sampling. Instrumen yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini berupa kuesioner, tes, wawancara, dan peneliti. Data mengenai menganalisis pemecahan masalah diambil dari kuesioner dan tes. Hasilnya didapat gaya belajar visual mendominasi. Kemudian 1 siswa dari gaya belajar yang berbeda dijadikan sampel untuk di wawancara. Hasil analisis menunjukkan pemecahan masalah setiap siswa berbeda karena dipengaruhi oleh gaya belajar. Gaya belajar visual dalam pemecahan masalah cenderung menekankan pada soal tes dan mencari informasi yang mendetail untuk memecahkan masalah. Gaya belajar auditorial dalam memecahkan masalah cenderung mengandalkan ingatan ketika pembelajaran. Gaya belajar kinestetik dalam pemecahan masalah cenderung memahaminya terlebih dahulu, kemudian dikonstruksikan dalam kehidupan sehari-hari. Dari hasil tersebut dapat disimpulkan bahwa gaya belajar memegang peranan penting dalam pemecahan masalah. Kata kunci : Pemecahan masalah; Gaya belajar visual; Gaya belajar auditorial; Gaya belajar kinestetik   Abstract This study aims to determine the problem solving of each different learning style. This research is included in descriptive-qualitative research. Populations taken in this study were students of SMPN 1 Kibin 2019/2020 school year. The research sampling technique used cluster random sampling technique. The instruments used in this study were in the form of questionnaires, tests, interviews, and researchers. Data regarding analyzing problem solving is taken from questionnaires and tests. The result is that the visual learning style is dominated. Then 1 student from a different learning style is sampled to be interviewed. The analysis shows that each student's problem solving is different because it is influenced by learning styles. Visual learning styles in problem solving tend to emphasize test questions and look for detailed information to solve problems. Auditory learning styles in solving problems tend to rely on memories when learning. Kinesthetic learning styles in problem solving tend to understand them first, then constructed in daily life. From these results it can be concluded that the learning style plays an important role in problem solving.

ABSTRACT Objective: to identify the preference of the Nursing students of the University of Magallanes as regards learning styles. Method: a quantitative, descriptive and correlational study of the cross-sectional type was conducted with 186 students from first to fifth year of the undergraduate course, with an age range between 18 and 45 years old. The Honey-Alonso Questionnaire of Learning Styles was applied during the second semester of 2018. For data analysis, distribution of frequencies, descriptive statistics and correlations (Spearman) for the learning styles, using the SPSS v. 22.0. Results: the learning style of highest moderate preference of the Nursing students was the Reflexive one, with a mean value of 53.20%, according to class and to years of study, followed by the Theoretical, with 39%. No statistically significant correlations were found between the years of study and the learning styles (p>0.05); on the other hand, most of the surveyed students present one and two learning styles. Conclusion: knowing the learning styles will allow designing methodological strategies which are adequate for the students' learning styles, and which allow streamlining the learning process. The students object of this study are analytical and reflexive individuals, which very well matches the profile of the Nursing students when it comes to putting their Nursing chores into action.
