Abstract

The concept of learning styles proposing the alignment of teaching methods and individual learning styles to enhance learning outcomes has gained popularity among English language teachers. However, numerous studies have debunked the concept by exposing weaknesses in the instruments used to measure learning styles and the underlying hypothesis. Therefore, there is a need for more research focusing on the merits and demerits of implementing learning styles theory in EFL classroom instruction. This study is presented to provide empirical understanding into the issue by presenting the latest research findings and providing recommendations for EFL teachers. To achieve this aim, the researchers conduct a literature review by collecting data from various document references and theories supporting the research. The literature was collected from journal articles published in the last five years, from 2018 to 2023. Based on the review, some studies confirmed that tailoring teaching methods to individual learning styles contributed to improved learning outcomes for EFL students. Conversely, other research has shown no significant or consistent correlation between teaching-specific learning styles and students' achievement. To address this disparity, the present study suggested that foreign language teachers maximize teaching-learning by considering several factors rather than one, such as teaching strategy, students' interpersonal orientations, knowledge, students' background, and interests. Teachers can balance instructional approaches, methods, and activities and apply various teaching strategies to reach all learners.

Abstract

SMKN 1 Batanghari masih menggunakan cara manual untuk menentukan guru berprestasi. Sehingga pengolahan data kurang efektif, membutuhkan waktu yang relatif lama dan sering terjadi subjektifitas dari para pengambil keputusan. Untuk mempermudah dalam menentukan guru terbaik maka perlu dibangunnya suatu sistem pendukung keputusan yang berfungsi untuk membantu melakukan seleksi guru terbaik. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengembangkan sistem yang lama menjadi lebih baik dengan cara Perancangan Sistem Pendukung Keputusan Penentuan Guru Terbaik pada SMKN 1 Batang Hari. Kerangka Kerja Penelitian yang akan dilakukan dalam penyelesaian masalah yang dibahas yaitu, melakukan identifikasi, melakukan pencarian informasi berdasarkan landasan- landasan teori, pengumpulan data dengan metode observasi dan wawancara, menganalisis untuk mencari solusi atas permasalahan yang dihadapi SMKN 1 Batang Hari. Metode pengembangan sistem menggunakan model air terjun (waterfall), implementasi penelitian ini menggunakan Bahasa Perograman PHP dan DBMS MySQL. Hingga menghasilkan aplikasi pengolahan data yang di harapkan dapat mempermudah dalam pengolahan data maupun pembuatan laporan.
