This study aims to identify the challenges faced by students with a kinesthetic learning style in online learning and to design the SiGMA strategy (Set Goals, Implement strategies, Monitor Progress, Adapt Results) based on Self-Regulated Learning (SRL) to meet their needs. Using a mixed-method approach with an explanatory sequential design, the study involved 50 physics students (17 males and 33 females, aged 17–21). The instruments used were the SiGMA-LQ (SiGMA Learning Questionnaire) and semi-structured interviews. Data were analyzed using SPSS 27 and NVivo 15. The Kruskal-Wallis test showed a significant difference among learning styles (p < 0.05), with the lowest SRL score observed in kinesthetic learners (M = 3.7). The findings revealed that these students face major challenges in planning and monitoring during independent online learning. This supports the SiGMA strategy as an adaptive framework that can enhance SRL abilities among kinesthetic learners in digital learning environments.
