Free Online Learning Based on Rich Internet Applications; The Experimentation of Critical Thinking about Student Learning Style

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to know the ability of critical thinking process based on visual learning style, auditorial and kinesthetic students through self-based online learning based on Rich Intenet Applications (RAI). In this study, students are divided into three groups based on student learning styles. Data collection techniques used in this study are test, observation and learning style questionnaire. Meanwhile, the results of the analysis show that students who have visual, auditorial and kinesthetic style learning styles have better critical thinking skills when treated with self-directed online learning based on rich internet applications' (RAI) than students learning using conventional learning methods. It is from the value of F arithmetic interaction columns and rows 2,602 with probability 0.018. This value is smaller than the value of = 0.05 which means that the research hypothesis states that there is an interaction between independent online learning based on Rich Internet Applications (RAI) and learning styles accepted.
