Abstract

This study focuses on analyzing the learning difficulties faced by grade X students of MA Bahrul Ulum Tambakberas Jombang in the subject of fiqh, viewed from the perspective of visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learning styles. The aim of this research is to identify the types of learning difficulties that arise according to different learning styles, analyze the underlying factors, and formulate appropriate instructional solutions. This research employs a qualitative approach with a descriptive method, using observation, interviews, documentation, and questionnaires involving 30 grade X students. The findings reveal that visual learners experience difficulties in explaining material orally and composing long written answers, even though they benefit from diagrams and visual aids. Auditory learners tend to understand better through discussions and verbal explanations but struggle to express their understanding in written form. Meanwhile, kinesthetic learners often feel bored during long lectures and find it challenging to grasp abstract concepts, although they show enthusiasm during hands-on practice. The factors contributing to these learning difficulties include internal factors, such as limited awareness of individual learning styles, and external factors, such as the dominant use of lecture methods and limited availability of teaching media. The implications of this research highlight the importance of implementing differentiated instruction tailored to students’ learning styles, enabling teachers to help reduce learning difficulties and improve students’ understanding of fiqh material more effectively.
