Research investigates the influence of learning strategies combined with learning styles on students’ learning performance in disaster mitigation within social sciences. Problem Based Learning (PBL) and Direct Instruction (DI) are implemented as learning strategies, while kinaesthetic, visual, and auditory learning styles serve as moderator variables. The study involves 122 students from SMPN 1 Sidoarjo and SMPN 1 Maospati. Two-way ANOVA is used for statistical analysis, showing PBL with visual learning style outperforms DI across other learning styles in achievement.

Problem Based Learning (PBL) and Direct Instruction (DI) are the strategies used. The learning styles used as moderator variables are kinaesthetic, visual and auditory. The research subjects included two junior high schools, SMPN 1 Sidoarjo and SMPN 1 Maospati, with a total of 122 students. The two-way ANOVA analysis technique was used to process the data obtained statistically. This research indicates that PBL strategy with visual learning style is superior to DI strategy with other learning styles in terms of learning achievement in disaster mitigation. This research has shown that considering the specific learning strategy and learning style of students contributes to positive learning outcomesin disaster mitigation. Keywords: learning strategies, learning styles, disaster mitigation, learning performance, learning INTRODUCTION In learning the teacher needs to design the implementation of learning strategies that involve more active student involvement (Settles, 2012) . However, the important role played by students in terms of their ability, which has received less attention, is their ability to solve problems. Yet, problem solving requires clear direct instruction from the teacher in terms oftask learning. Problem-solving skills in disaster mitigation are especially important for school children, because children are the most vulnerable group during a disaster, especially those who were in school at the time the incident took place (Agustiana et al., 2013). During a disaster, school buildings are destroyed, reducing the life span of school students and teachers who are very valuable and disrupting the right to education as a result of the disaster (Paton, 2003) . In addition to problem-based learning strategies, direct instruction (DI) strategies can be used as alternative strategies in learning disaster mitigation materials. Kim & Axelrod (2005), argue that the DI strategy requires teachers to regulate and control the content and knowledge procedures to be Citation: Prasetya, S. P., Fadirubun, F. F., Sitohang, L.

It requires very careful planning and execution on the part of the teacher to be effective (Stockard & Wood, 2018) . DI entails that every detail of skill or content is carefully defined, and demonstrations and training schedules are carefully planned and implemented. Another factor that needs to be considered in optimizing the learning achievement of disaster mitigation in social science subjects is student c

FAQs

What learning strategies and learning styles were examined in the study?

The study uses Problem Based Learning (PBL) and Direct Instruction (DI) as learning strategies. Kinaesthetic, visual, and auditory learning styles are treated as moderator variables.

How was students’ learning performance analyzed?

Two-way ANOVA was applied to process the data statistically.

What main result does the research report?

PBL combined with a visual learning style is superior to DI with other learning styles regarding learning achievement in disaster mitigation.
