of the influential aspects in improving learning outcomes of student practicum. The increase in
psychomotor abilities of students is certainly influenced by factors of the cognitive style of each
student. This research aims to develop cognitive style-oriented digital learning media for
practicum learning. Learning media products were described and implemented through this
research following the scientific process. Digital style-oriented is cognitive to the psychomotor
abilities of students. The method in this study was R&D by adopting the ADDIE model. It has
successfully developed and implemented cognitive style-oriented learning media on practicum
learning. Implementation results stated that this learning medium was effectively used in the
practicum learning process with a high level of effectiveness.

1 Introduction
The rapid development of technology demands the need for an education system that can
provide human resources (HR) that are able to compete globally [1][2]. The demands in this
education system require national education policies that need to be directed to prepare human
resources that can face future challenges effectively and efficiently from school age by utilizing
technological advances, including advances in communication and information technology. The
increase in the education sector means increasing human capacity to compete with developed
countries [3].
Education is one form of the realization of a dynamic and development-laden human culture.
The change and development of education align with the cultural change of life [4]. Changes in
the improvement of education at all levels need to be done continuously. One of the changes
made by the government in the field of education is to make improvements to the existing
education curriculum. Innovative and creative learning in the classroom is expected to apply a
learning model that motivates students to think creatively-productively [5][6].
