Enhancing Learning Styles and Strengthening Verbal and Visual Representation Skills: Utilizing Worksheet through Pictorial Riddles, Crossword Puzzles, and Mind Maps
Abstract
This study, conducted as classroom action research (PTK), aims to assess the effectiveness of using LKPD based on pictorial riddles and crossword puzzles in accommodating diverse learning styles and enhancing students' verbal and visual representation abilities. The research was carried out at SMPN 35 Bandung during the odd semester of 2023/2024, with a focus on students in class VII F, totaling 36 participants. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach, purposive sampling was utilized for subject selection. Findings indicate that crossword puzzle-based LKPD effectively enhances students' verbal-to-verbal representation abilities. Additionally, pictorial riddle-based LKPD proves successful in improving both visual-to-verbal and visual-to-visual representation abilities. This suggests that utilizing LKPD based on pictorial riddles and crossword puzzles can address deficiencies in representation abilities stemming from students' learning style preferences..
