Abstract

The course of plant structure and development is a subject which requires skill and high-level thinking skills in understanding the material. One of the factors affecting the level of understanding is learning the style. Characteristics diverse student including gender differences have an effect on learning styles. This study aims to describe the influence of different character to the understanding of plant structure and development course based on learning styles and gender. The data analyzed comes from the value of the final exams of plant structure and development course in the first semester of 2016/2017 and the student answers on the questionnaire index of learning style. with the dimensions of learning: active/ reflective, sensing/intuitive, visual/verbal, and sequential/ global. The findings of this study show that of the 18 male university students were 11.11% which is the familiar category have a tendency balanced on the dimensions of reflective learners, and female students from 38 people were 15.8% belong to the sensing learners group.

For the category of quite understand was 50% of male students belonging to the group dimension of visual learners, while the female students were 42.1% belong to the group of active learners. Thus there is the influence of a different character to the understanding of plant structure and development course by learning styles and gender.
