<![CDATA[Accuracy in adjusting teaching strategies to student learning characteristics is important because it can determine the effectiveness of the learning process. One of the key factors in improving the quality of learning is the suitability between teachers' teaching strategies and students' learning styles. The mismatch between the two aspects can reduce the effectiveness of the learning process and have an impact on low learning outcomes. Based on this, this study aims to optimize students' learning strategies through the application of the K-Means clustering model and the K-Nearest Neighbor classification. The performance of the K-Means Algorithm is able to classify learning styles and determine the labeling of learning styles, K-Nearest Neighbor is used to classify data that has been labeled by the K-Means algorithm. This research dataset amounted to 200 student data sourced from SMP Negeri 1 Panyabungan from the results of 20 questions answered by students. The results showed that the combination of the K-Means and K-Nearest Neighbor algorithms produced good performance with an accuracy value of 0.92, precision of 0.92, recall of 0.92, and F1-score of 0.91. The contribution of this research is expected to enrich the literature related to the application of the K-Means and K-Nearest Neighbor models in optimizing learning strategies, as well as assisting teachers at SMP Negeri 1 Panyabungan in designing and implementing learning strategies that are more effective and in accordance with the needs of students.]]>
