Abstract
Every learner is unique. Therefore, teachers need to analyze their learning styles so that they can design suitable learning strategies for each student. An example of a popular learning style concept is VARK model (V: visual, A: aural, R: read/write, and K: kinesthetic), theory of multiple intelligence, and Interactionism theory. Literature reviews reveal that personal psychology that focuses on human thinking process and mostly use to analyze students’ learning styles is Jungian cognitive functions. According to Jung, the human thinking process consists of eight functions with different proportions: extraverted sensing, extraverted intuition, extraverted thinking, extraverted feeling, introverted sensing, introverted intuition, introverted thinking, and introverted feeling. This process results from encoding two attitudes: extraversion and introversion; and four primary cognitive functions: sensation, intuition, thinking, and feeling. Unique learning styles are suitable for students with specific cognitive functions. For example, those who mainly use the extraverted intuition function tend to learn by linking overall relationships and using their creativity for changes and developments. Therefore, these students are suitable for media strategies, integrating data structures with communication through learning activities focusing on interactive learning to apply knowledge and make presentations, such as problem-based and project-based learning. Different from the group that mainly use introverted intuition tend to learn through a comprehensive set of data to explain detailed and complex patterns by themself. Therefore, these students are suitable for linking thought networks, reasoning, and predictive strategies through learning activities that emphasize studying relationships to summarize and consolidate information such as experiments, utilizing relational dimensions, and projects planning. The popular tool is Sakinorva cognitive function test, furthermore the test should be developed to be an implicit measure and adjusted questions to be in accordance with learning styles measurement.
