Analisis Komparatif Karakteristik Gaya Belajar Siswa Pada Jenjang Pendidikan Dasar dan Menengah

Abstract

Differences in student learning styles have long been a focal point in education; however, comprehensive studies examining these differences across various educational levels remain limited. This research aims to examine and compare the characteristics of student learning styles at the Elementary, Junior High, and Senior High School levels. Utilizing a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) methodology, this study conducts a systematic review and critical analysis of previous research. The findings indicate that learning styles in elementary school students are distributed across three primary categories: visual, auditory, and kinesthetic. In contrast, Junior High School students show a higher prevalence of visual and auditory styles. Similarly, the Senior High School level is dominated by visual and auditory preferences. These differences in learning styles are not static but are influenced by various factors. Ultimately, this study emphasizes the importance of a paradigm shift—moving away from rigid learning style categorization toward a multimodal instructional approach
