The Effect of Digital Content Designed Based on Learning Styles on Academic Achievement and Motivation toward Learning

This study aimed at examining the effect of using digital educational content designed by learning style (audio, visual, or kinesthetic) on the academic achievement and motivation towards learning among students of the Life Skills subject at Al al-Bayt University during COVID-19. The study sample consisted of two groups chosen randomly; one was the experimental group and comprised 55 students, while the other was the control group and comprised 50 students. An academic achievement test, consisting of 25 questions and a motivation scale of 25 items was prepared to measure the use of digital educational content based on learning style (audio, visual, or kinesthetic) in the academic achievement and motivation towards learning among Life Skills students. The validity and reliability of the study tools were determined. To answer the study questions, the means and standard deviations of the study sample were calculated, and a one-way analysis of variance (ANCOVA) was computed. The results showed a statistically significant difference between the mean scores of academic achievement and the scores on the motivation scale due to the variable of teaching method, in favor of the experimental group, which studied using digital educational content based on learning style (audio, visual, or kinesthetic). The researchers recommended generalizing the experience of using digital educational content based on learning styles (audio, visual, or kinesthetic) due to its impact on the academic achievement and motivation toward learning among students of the Life Skills subject at Al al- Bayt University during COVID-19 on various subjects in the university.
