  • Black-box testing and alpha-beta validation were applied to assess the system's performance.
  • 27% of students preferred visual learning styles, 16% auditory, 14% reading/writing, and 43% kinesthetic.
  • Overall findings indicate diverse learning preferences requiring educators to customize teaching strategies.

Abstract

This study aims at identifying student learning styles in the Faculty of Communication and Informatics. Web-based applications are built as a system to determine visual, auditory, read/write, or kinesthetic (VARK) learning styles. The Version 7.1 questionnaire has been applied as a basic instrument. Test data was obtained from a sample of 230 students. System performance is tested by applying black-box testing and testing the validity of alpha-beta on each system module. Meanwhile, the survey method is used to assess the feasibility of application design. Based on a series of observations, tests, and analysis it can be concluded that of 230 students, 27% had visual learning styles, 16% hearing, 14% reading and writing, and 43% kinesthetic. Based on the results of this study, it can be concluded that students have diverse learning style preferences so that educators must adjust learning strategies by providing appropriate learning media and learning instruments in teaching classes.
