Generation Z students have a different concept of what is interesting, challenging and satisfying which in turn, affects learning outcomes. Thus, to achieve a better learning outcome, a suitable learning style and tool to support learning are needed. This paper aims to research and test learning outcomes of students who studied the subject of rapid application development, which was a computational application development course. Two groups of students used two different learning styles: the active learning style and traditional style. The results show a statistical analysis, which was used to compare the learning outcomes and student’s satisfaction. The active learning style indicates that those students who used this had a higher level of effective learning than the students who studied traditionally. Regarding analysis, the learning outcomes and satisfaction of the two learning styles are discussed.
