Educational Recommendation System Utilizing Learning Styles: A Systematic Literature Review

Abstract

Learning styles, learners’ preferred ways to learn, can be applied to design personalized learning courses for the individual learner. One of those applications is the recommender system. This study ran a systematic literature review on the recommender system utilizing learning styles from two dependable academic libraries, IEEE Xplore and ScienceDirect, which included six reviewed topics; research objective, research methodology, educational recommendation, learning styles theory, learning style identification, and recommendation algorithm. Finally, the obtained information was examined and summarized in order to develop a unique strategy for leveraging the utilization of learning style theory for a recommender system to improve learning efficiency.
