Revising False Belief in Learning

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the changes in students' attitudes and beliefs about their learning abilities. The method used to achieve this goal is to train learning strategies based on student learning styles. The training was given to 50 students by providing material about strategies and learning styles. Students were given a learning style questionnaire to identify their learning styles. The training results showed an increase of 64% in terms of students' belief that mastery of learning strategies can help them improve their learning abilities. This belief is expected to increase students' efforts and motivation in learning because they no longer assume that learning abilities are more influenced by intrinsic factors that cannot be changed.
