Abstract
This research is motivated by the difficulties experienced by auditory learners in understanding information presented in written form. Hence, the author was prompted to analyze the auditory learning style of students in thematic learning. The aim of this research is to describe the auditory learning style of third-grade students. This research was conducted at SDN Bojongsari 04. The method used is qualitative descriptive research. The subjects of this research are third-grade students. Data collection techniques used include observation, interviews, field notes, and documentation. The data analysis techniques employed include data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and triangulation. The results of the research show that students with an auditory learning style in thematic learning maximize their hearing through interactive lectures, group discussions, and listening to audio readings or story dialogues conducted by the teacher. The students then listen while following along with the story by reading books. The obstacles faced by students with an auditory learning style in thematic learning include difficulties in understanding visually presented materials, such as reading texts and pictures. The solution used by teachers to overcome these comprehension barriers for students with an auditory learning style is to provide oral explanations. Additionally, teachers also employ strategies such as asking students to recap the taught material, enabling them to provide additional explanations if necessary
