Understanding students’ learning styles is crucial for teachers to effectively enhance students’ potential and optimize their academic performance. This intervention was designed to assist kindergarten and elementary school teachers in Sukaresmi Village, Sukamakmur District, Bogor Regency in identifying and understanding students’ learning styles. The intervention was implemented through a workshop that provided both theoretical material and interactive discussions including case analyses on learning style identification. The intervention involved sixteen teachers, of whom eight who completed both pre-test and post-test were included in the final anaylisis. The results demonstrated a notable improvement in knowledge as indicated by an increase in mean scores from the pre-test (M = 52.50, SD = 22.20) to the post-test (M = 81.25, SD = 6.94). Statistical analysis using a paired-samples t-test confirmed that the improvement was significant with t(7) = –4.50, p = .003. The intervention addressed cognitive aspects of learning style identification. Nonetheless, this intervention still focuses on the cognitive level by identifying learning styles. Further interventions are recommended to be implemented in the form of longer-term training.
