The Effect of Learning Style on Students’ Understanding during Online Learning

Abstract

As a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, the obligation to learn from home must be taken by the students. The online learning system is implemented so that all
students can still pursue the education that is usually obtained in face-to-face classes. Students now rely on technology and internet networks to conduct virtual meetings with teachers and access subject matter. The process of learning from home is not easy, Being successful in online learning takes a lot of discipline and commitment. Students are encouraged to be able to condition themselves independently. Every student has their preferences. While some prefer to study
alone, others may prefer to learn in a group. The question is: "How does the learning style during online learning affect student's understanding of their lessons. This paper wants to answer the question based on our experience ( as students who have been studying online for 9 months), Skinner‘s theory, and classification of learning style by De Porter (2000). Online learning is no longer a burdensome obligation. Instead, online learning becomes a fun activity if we know how to do it.
