Keywords: Comparison, Learning Style Auditory and Kinaesthetic.

Abstract: The purpose of this study was to determine the learning style which is more influential between auditory and

kinesthetic towards achieving cumulative grade on the student athletes. Method used that is descriptive

method with case study approach. Samples in this study amounted to 50 student’s athletes consisting of

various sports in Sport Education program. The instrument used to measure the student's learning style

teaching style questionnaire athletes use student athletes who have tested the validity and reliability to

student’s athlete Pelatda PON West Java, 2016. Furthermore, to measure learning outcomes seen from the

achievement of the GPA shows that the value of F count equal to 2,818 with significant value 0.083 greater

than the probability of 0:05 it is proven that there is significant influence between auditory and kinesthetic

towards GPA. Further correlation coefficient product moment (rx1x2y) between auditory learning styles (x1)

with GPA. The product moment correlation coefficient (rx1x2y) between kinesthetic (x2) and Ipk (y) is 0.419

with p 0.05 indicating that there is a significant correlation between kinetetic learning styles with GPA.

1 INTRODUCTION

Being an athlete is a pride. In addition to success in

the world of sports athletes want to succeed in the

world of education to get a bright future and

promising future. However, in real life there are many

athletes who have to fall out of education because of

things that can not balance the world of sports and

education.

To gain success in the world of education, athletes

must learn. According to Spears in Thobroni (2013,

pp. 21) "Learning to observe, read, imitate, try

something, hear, and follow a certain direction.

Two individuals who grow in the same

environment and are given the same treatment do not

necessarily have the same view, understanding and

thought to the world around. Each has its own way of

every event seen and experienced. One such way of

view is known as the learning style, so each

individual has a different learning style to capture all

stimuli and process in different ways. Various styles

of learning according Thobroni and Mustafa (2013,

pp. 262-266) "man has a wide range of learning

styles, namely: visual, auditory and kinesthetic."

This study is intended to answer some questions

1) How big is the academic achievement and

graduation student athletes learn shortly NOTICE

auditory learning style? 2) How big is academic

achievement and graduation student athletes who

learn to use kinesthetic learning style?

2 METHOD

In this study, the authors used descriptive method

because they want to know how to describe the

learning style of athlete students in the Ministry of

Education coaching. As Hartoto explained in

Nasution (2008, p.69) that "descriptive research is a

method of research that seeks to describe and

interpret objects as they are." So in this study the

results obtained in accordance with the conditions at

the time of the study conducted without changing the

slightest result which is obtained. Furthermore clear

about the descriptive method described by Furchan in

Lutan (2014, p.27) regarding its characteristics as

follows:

The characteristics of descriptive method are: (1)

Descriptive research tends to describe a phenomenon

as it is by studying a phenomenon as it is by regularly

reviewing it, using objectivity and done carefully; (2)

Absence of any given or controlled treatment; (3)

In the study entitled Athlete Student Learning

Styles on Achievement of Academic Achievement

and Graduation, the research location on the title was

held at Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia (UPI),

Faculty of Sport and Health Education (FPOK) at the

athlete students of the Education Department of

Coaching precisely in the 4th floor Auditorium room.

The reason for choosing the location is because the

studying places all the research samples are on

Campus FPOK precisely in the Ministry of Education

coaching, so that the location close to college student

athletes can simplify the research process to be more

effective and efficient.

2.1 Population and Sample

2.1.1 Population

To obtain data in this study required data sources that

are generally called population and sample research.

According to Arikunto (2010, pp. 173) "the

population is the whole subject of the research." The

population referred to in this study is an athlete

student of the Ministry of Education at the Faculty of

Sport and Health Education (FPOK) at the University

of Education Indonesia (UPI) totalling 162 athletes,

consisting of 31 martial art sports of athlete students,

87 sports of athlete students, 36 measured sports of

athlete students, and 8 precision sports of athlete

students. This population was chosen because the

students of the Ministry of Education have many

athlete students with achievements at provincial,

national and international levels from various sports.

Besides student athletes have some concerns

regarding the low GPA (IP) and a grade point average

(GPA), which resulted in student athlete graduation

rate exceeds the normal time (4 years / 8 semesters)

as shown in appendix 4. Low Grade (IP) in the

previous semester resulted in at least SKS that can be

a student contract for athletes in the next semester in

SIAK so as to cause some courses can not be

contracted on time, even to repeat some courses so

that student graduation is delayed or exceeds normal

time (4 years / 8 semesters).

2.1.2 Sample

According to Lutan, Berliana, and Surnandi (2014,

pp. 80) "the sample is the group used in the study

where the data / information is obtained, while the

population is the larger group in which the results are

generalized."

Samples to be used in this study amounted to 50

students athletes. The selection of samples using the

Simple Random Sampling method, according to

Sunaryadi (2014, pp. 5.7) explains that "simple

random samples are one method in which every

member of the population has the same opportunity

to choose." Based on that opinion, it means that every

athlete student has the same and independent

possibilities to choose from.

The sample selection will be randomly

randomized with a 30% percentage of the total of

each force in each sport category. For more details

can be seen in Table 3.2 as follows.

3 RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

3.1 Test F-test

F test is used to determine whether the independent

variables simultaneously have a significant effect on

the dependent variable. The degree of trust used is

0.05. If the value of F calculation results greater than

the value of F according to the table then the

alternative hypothesis, which states that all

independent variables simultaneously have a

significant effect on the dependent variable. The

output is as follows:

Test F 'shows that F count equal to 2,323 with

level (sig) 0,134 or can significance value 0,134

greater than probability value 0.05. "It proves that

there is a significant relationship between Learning

Styles of GPA".

F test is used to determine whether the

independent variables simultaneously have a

significant effect on the dependent variable. The

degree of trust used is 0.05. If the value of F

calculation results greater than the value of F

according to the table then the alternative hypothesis,

which states that all independent variables

simultaneously have a significant effect on the

dependent variable. The output is as follows:

Test F 'shows that F count equal to 2,818 with

level (sig) 0,083 or can significance value 0,083

greater than probability value 0.05. "It proves that

there is a significant influence between auditory and

kinesthetic against GPA".

3.2 Test T-test

The t test is used to find out whether the independent

variables are partially significant or not to the

dependent variable. The degree of significance used

is 0.05. If the significant value is less than the degree

of trust then we accept the alternative hypothesis,

which states that an independent variable partially

affects the dependent variable. The output is as

follows:

Based on these results, it is known product

moment correlation coefficient (rx 1 x 2 y) between

Learning Styles (x) with GPA. (Y). Learning Style

Correlation (x) with GPA (Y) of = 0,134 with p =

0,05. It turns out that p is greater than the specified

alpha (level of significance) of 5%. So it can be

concluded that there is a significant relationship

between Learning Styles with GPA.

The t test is used to determine whether the

independent variables are partially significant or not

to the dependent variable. The degree of significance

used is 0.05. If the significant value is less than the

degree of trust then we accept the alternative

hypothesis, which states that an independent variable

partially affects the dependent variable.

4 CONCLUSIONS

Based on this research, calculations, data analysis avg

se, the writer can draw conclusions about the student's

learning style against achievement athlete academic

achievement and graduation:
