This research was factorial experiment with the quasi-experimental design. There were total of 157 primary school students in Bali, Indonesia being involved as the subjects of the study. There were two instruments used in this research. The first instrument was a questionnaire adapted from Index of Learning Style (ILS) developed by Felder and Soloman for measuring the verbal-visual learning styles. The second instrument was the conceptual understanding test for measuring students{\textquoteright} conceptual understanding in the form of multiple-choice test. The research discovered three findings as follows: (1) there is a significant difference in terms of conceptual understanding between students who are taught by inquiry-based learning and direct instruction strategy, (2) there is a significant difference in terms of students conceptual understanding between visual and verbal students, (3) there is a significant interaction between different learning strategies (inquiry based learning and direct instruction strategy) and students{\textquoteright} learning styles (visual verbal) toward students conceptual understanding. }, keywords = {Conceptual Understanding, inquiry-based learning, learning style, multimedia learning}, issn = {1648-3898}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.33225/jbse/19.18.51}, url = {http://oaji.net/articles/2019/987-1550082814.pdf}, author = {Dek Ngurah Laba Laksana and I Wayan Dasna and I Nyoman Sudana Degeng} } @article {684, title = {THE EFFECT OF VISUALIZATION TYPE AND STUDENT SPATIAL ABILITIES ON LEARNING ACHIEVEMENT}, journal = {Journal of Baltic Science Education}, volume = {17}, year = {2018}, month = {August/2018}, pages = {Continuous}, type = {Original article}, chapter = {551-563}, abstract = {Students{\textquoteright} spatial ability plays an important role in instruction with dynamic and static visualizations. This research was aimed at describing 1) the difference in learning achievement between the students who learned from dynamic visualization and static visualization, 2) the difference in learning achievement among students who have high spatial ability and those who have low spatial ability, and 3) the interaction between type of visualization and spatial ability on learning achievement. This research used the non-equivalent control group quasi-experimental design. The sample consisted of 115 eighth grade students in Singaraja, Indonesia. The data were collected by learning achievement test and Paper Folding Test. The data were analyzed using ANCOVA. The results showed that:1) there was a significant difference in learning achievement between the students who learned from dynamic visualization and static visualization; 2) there was a significant difference in learning achievement between the students who have high spatial ability and those who have low spatial ability, and 3) there was no interaction between visualization type and spatial ability on learning achievement. Therefore, the different combination of the types of visualization and sequence of presentation and relation with individual characteristic can be elaborated more in the further research. }, keywords = {dynamic visualization, learning achievement, science instruction, spatial ability, static visualization}, issn = {1648-3898}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.33225/jbse/18.17.551}, url = {http://oaji.net/articles/2017/987-1533708452.pdf}, author = {I Gde Wawan Sudatha and I Nyoman Sudana Degeng and Waras Kamdi} }
