Abstract


The curriculum in Indonesia currently uses the Merdeka curriculum. Differentiated student learning programs are closely related to student learning styles. Therefore, this needs to be researched because learning has shifted and is focused on students. Teachers need to know more about students' learning styles to maximize learning in the classroom. A mixed-method design was applied in this study. Therefore, six participants from SMP Plus Bandung Timur were recruited and assessed using the Akupintar.co.id website as a test instrument to investigate students' learning styles. This aimed to investigate the alignment of students' learning styles and learning activities using multimodality texts in the classroom. After conducting the research, some findings emerged. The quantitative results showed that the t-test showed no significant increase in students' vocabulary. However, the qualitative findings show three types of learning styles: visual, audio, and kinesthetic, that mostly aligned to their learning activities in the classroom.
