An Integrative Review: Application of Digital Learning Media to Developing Learning Styles Preference

The future of online learning or cybergogy known by several terms, such as blended learning, flipped classroom, or hybrid is something that cannot be avoided. This compelling situation is not due to the COVID-19 pandemic alone but has become a necessity for every student from school to higher education. This article aims to analyze and explain understanding in education related to the concept of "digital media", and all student responses including "learning styles", and related concepts, by reviewing, and synthesizing the literature using in an integrative review. A total of 154 qualitative and quantitative articles published between 2000 and 2020 were reviewed. Based on the inclusion analysis, 25 articles reveal things related to "digital media" and the behavior of students' "learning style" responses and what digital learning media should be. Concerning what is embedded in digital media that can result in different reactions from one another, digital learning media should be made by considering the behavioral reactions of students' "learning style" responses. Applying various digital media such as online platforms or applications in learning should directly affect different learning styles in education. Learning variations should also be offered when the learning media is created and used. © 2023 by the authors.

The research subjects were students in the third semester, who took the Mechanics I course as many as 110 people and were divided into three groups. The research method is a quasi-experiment one-group pretest-posttest design. The research instrument consists of essay tests to measure creative and critical thinking skills and observation sheets to measure collaboration and communication skills.
