Abstract:

The learning process of students in microeconomics courses is mostly done through acquisitions. The acquisition of economic theories and concepts is closely related to representation. Representation in microeconomic learning, in addition to using text narratives, also very often uses representations in the form of graphs and curves. The purpose of this study is to describe the correlational role of learning styles and visual literacy on student achievement. The population of this study was all active students of the Faculty of Economics, State University of Surabaya. By using the strata random sampling technique, 182 students were determined as respondents. Data analysis uses multiple linear regression analysis techniques with dummy variables. The results of the analysis found that learning styles and visual literacy do not support student learning outcomes. Most of the learning styles of students are auditory, followed by kinesthetic, reading, and at least visual. These findings suggest that lecturer performance in learning requires careful preparation both in academic competence and pedagogical competence because lecturer figures are still a dominant factor in student learning achievement.
