Analisis Gaya Belajar Siswa Kelas X SMAN 1 Bangorejo dalam Penerapan Pembelajaran Berdiferensiasi pada Kurikulum Merdeka

Abstract

The Independent Curriculum is the curriculum currently used in the education system of Indonesia, where the learning process is centered around students and their needs and characteristics. One of the learning processes used is Differentiated Learning. This research aims to obtain information regarding the learning style tendencies of tenth-grade students at SMAN 1 Bangorejo. The results of this research serve as a non-cognitive diagnostic assessment, providing material for the implementation of differentiated learning in biology subjects. The research methods employed include observation, questionnaires, and interviews developed based on student development theories. Based on the results obtained, students' learning styles are not strictly confined to one type, but mapping indicates a tendency towards visual-auditory learning at 64% and kinesthetic learning at 36% for the tenth-grade students. These findings suggest that a majority of students find it easier to understand concepts through visual objects with audio. Differentiated learning is considered a solution to accommodate the diversity of students' learning styles, aiming to optimize their potential, interests, and creativity, creating a safe, comfortable, and student-centric learning environment within the framework of the Independent Curriculum.
