Abstract
This study aims to produce a classroom management application based on a database of student learning styles to identify and analyze student learning styles and match them with appropriate learning methods and media. This application is expected to facilitate classroom management according to student preferences. This research was research and development. Respondents were 198 people consisting of 30 teachers and 168 students at a Junior High School in South Bangka, Indonesia. The data analysis used quantitative data analysis techniques using descriptive statistics. The results showed that the application developed was feasible to be used to identify and analyze student learning styles and provide suggestions for learning methods and media that teachers should use in classroom management. The level of application eligibility in terms of technical aspects reaches 4.75, and the content aspect reaches 4.80. This application proved to be useful for teachers in class management as evidenced by the achievement of the usability test score by the teacher reaching 4.40. The usefulness of the application from the student’s perspective can be seen from the increase in the attractiveness of learning that occurs after the teacher uses this application compared to before.
