Abstract

The identification of learning styles plays a crucial role in enhancing personalized education and optimizing learning outcomes. This research proposes a model for detecting learning styles based on the Felder-Silverman model using two machine learning algorithms: K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN) and Linear Regression (LR). Electroencephalography (EEG) data, known for its ability to capture cognitive and neural activity, serves as the primary dataset for this study. The proposed model was tested on a dataset comprising EEG signals collected during various learning tasks. Feature extraction and preprocessing techniques were employed to ensure high-quality input for the learning algorithms. The experimental results revealed that the LR-based model achieved an accuracy of 96.4%, significantly outperforming the KNN-based model, which obtained an accuracy of 89.9%. These findings highlight the potential of EEG-based models for accurately identifying learning styles, offering valuable insights for educators and researchers aiming to implement adaptive learning systems. This study demonstrates the feasibility and effectiveness of combining EEG data with machine learning techniques for learning style detection, paving the way for more personalized and efficient educational approaches. Future research will explore the integration of additional physiological data and advanced machine learning methods to further improve model accuracy and applicability.
