Abstract

The transformation of education in the digital era has significantly changed the way individuals receive and process information. Adapting learning styles has become an urgent need to face these challenges and to ensure that the learning process becomes more effective and personalized. This study aims to examine how adjusting learning styles can improve individual learning effectiveness amid the advancement of educational technology. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, this paper develops arguments based on literature analysis from various relevant academic sources. The discussion reveals that learning effectiveness is strongly influenced by the alignment between teaching strategies and students’ learning styles, particularly in the context of digital media usage. Adapting learning styles not only enhances motivation and participation but also encourages a more optimal mastery of the material.
