<![CDATA[This research, titled "The Implementation of Process Differentiated Instruction Based on VARK Learning Styles for Junior High School Students in Solving Statistics Problems," was prompted by a discrepancy between the Merdeka Curriculum's mandate for diverse learning and the continued use of conventional teaching at SMPN 1 Panti. The study aimed to implement and describe the effects of process-differentiated instruction based on VARK learning styles on students' statistical problem-solving abilities. A quasi-experimental, nonequivalent control group design was employed, involving two eighth-grade classes: an experimental group (n = 29) and a control group (n = 29). The experimental group received process differentiation tailored to VARK styles, while the control group received conventional instruction. Data were collected via pretests and posttests and analyzed using non-parametric statistics. The findings showed no statistically significant difference in problem-solving outcomes between the two groups (Mann-Whitney U, p = 0,151). However, the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank test revealed a significant improvement in the experimental group’s scores from pretest to posttest (p = 0,000). Moreover, student interviews indicated that the differentiated approach significantly increased their motivation and engagement. It was concluded that while the short-term intervention did not yield statistically superior test scores, it profoundly enhanced the learning process and student experience.]]>
