The Influence of VAK (Visual, Auditory, Kinesthetic) Learning Styles on Students' Learning Outcomes in AKL Practicum Subjects at SMK Pembangunan Jaya YAKAPI Jakarta

Abstract

This study aims to determine whether there is an influence of VAK (Visual, Auditory, Kinesthetic) learning styles on students' learning outcomes in AKL Practicum subjects at SMK Pembangunan Jaya-YAKAPI Jakarta. This research was conducted at SMK Pembangunan Jaya-YAKAPI Jakarta and employed a quantitative associative approach. The population and sample of this study consisted of 69 students from the 10th and 11th grades of the Accounting and Financial Institution (AKL) program. Data analysis revealed a very low positive correlation with a multiple correlation coefficient value of 0.186. The contribution of VAK learning styles to learning outcomes, as measured by the coefficient of determination, was 3.5%, while the remaining 96.5% was influenced by other variables not examined in this study. Hypothesis testing was conducted for each variable: 1) Visual learning style (t-calculated = 0.414 < t-table = 1.997); 2) Auditory learning style (t-calculated = 0.992 < t-table = 1.997); 3) Kinesthetic learning style (t-calculated = 0.476 < t-table = 1.997). Simultaneously, hypothesis testing for VAK learning styles resulted in F-calculated = 0.767 < F-table = 2.74. The findings conclude that neither individually nor simultaneously do VAK (Visual, Auditory, Kinesthetic) learning styles significantly influence students' learning outcomes in AKL Practicum subjects at SMK Pembangunan Jaya-YAKAPI Jakarta.
