Profile of The Psychomotoric Abilities of Elementary School Students In Science Subjects Viewed From Learning Styles

Objective: This study aims to describe the profile of elementary students’ psychomotor abilities in science learning based on their learning styles. Method: A qualitative research method with a phenomenological approach was employed. The subjects consisted of six students from Muhammadiyah 1 Krian Elementary School, comprising two students each with visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learning styles. Data were collected through observation and interviews, utilizing observation sheets and interview guides as instruments. Source triangulation was applied to ensure data validity. Data were analyzed through data collection, condensation, presentation, and conclusion drawing. Results: The findings reveal that students with a visual learning style demonstrated three psychomotor indicators: imitation, manipulation, and experience. Auditory learners also exhibited three indicators: imitation, experience, and articulation. Kinesthetic learners showed all five psychomotor indicators, although some aspects did not fully emerge. Novelty: This study provides new insights into the variations of psychomotor ability profiles based on learning styles, offering a foundation for developing learning tools that effectively enhance all psychomotor indicators among elementary students.
