Abstract

Students who got the same treatment in the same environment do not always have the same understanding, thinking, and view of the lecture. Kolb divides learning styles into four combinations namely diverger as a combination of feeling and watching, assimilator as a combination of thinking and watching, converger as a combination of thinking and doing, and the last, accomodator as a combination of feelings and actions. Appropriate learning styles can improve students achievement because they will feel comfortable when they follow the course which matches their learning style. The research method used was quantitative with cross sectional study design approach. The population of this research was 153 students and 111 samples were selected using proportionate random sampling technique as well as in the regression analysis. The results of the learning styles from 111 respondents showed that the highest level was the diverger learning style indicated by 65 respondents (58,56%) and the highest educational achievement was the learning achievement B+ by 45 respondents (40,54%). The results of the analysis of regression test obtained diverger value (p=0,287) and assimilator value (p=0,561). Ho was accepted and Ha was rejected; therefore, there was no influence of diverger and assimilator learning styles on Midwifery Care students achievement in pregnancy. In addition, no influence of converger and accomodator learning styles on Midwifery Care students achievement in pregnancy at the Academy of Midwifery Sari Mulia Banjarmasin. Students themselves might be more appropriate in the condition of combining two of learning styles for instance converger and assimilator on Midwifery Care students achievement in pregnancy
