What is the learning style of the students in learning English in the eleventh grade of SMA Somba Opu. How is the correlation between students' learning style and their performance in learning English in the eleventh grade of SMA Somba Opu.
Objective of the Study
Significance of the Study
Scope of the Study
In this chapter, we examined the related literature after finding some research information on learning style. The researcher found information from many sources such as textbooks, journals, websites and research findings, which the researcher compiled into selected theories.
Previous Related Research Findings
So that students with different learning styles can also easily accept and understand the subject material presented by the teacher. Pallapu (2007) in his study entitled Effects of Visual and Verbal Learning Styles on Learning found that "learning style differences affect learning and therefore if handled appropriately, there will be a great increase in the achievement of learning outcomes". The results of the research indicated that the majority of the learners were visual and the rest were categorized as verbal.
This study reinforces the importance of meeting individual learners' learning styles in an educational setting, as well as possibilities for instructor awareness and curriculum improvements. Based on the previous research findings, the researcher can conclude that the similarity of the research with previous research is about knowing the types of students' learning style and seeing the students' performance in learning. While the difference is the research location and there is a research that uses Verbal Learning Style as a research object.
Some Pertinent Ideas
- The Concept of Learning
- The Concept of Learning Style
- Learning Style in Learning English (Language)
Another definition of learning style by Kocinski in Soflano and Hainey (2015: 4) is a learner's preferred strategy to perceive, interact and respond to the learning environment. Learning style is described as individualistic differences in approach within the process of receiving and processing information Kolb in Cabi and Serpil. This learning style is closely related to a personality, which is influenced by his upbringing and developmental history.
There have been many researchers who classify learning styles into various types, but the most commonly used is classification referred to in De Porter & Hernacki in Nihayah (2011: 8) who divide learning styles into 3 types: . 1) Visual learning style. The characteristics of students who have a visual learning style was a high need to see and capture the information before understanding it. Students who have a visual learning style capture lessons through visual materials, have a strong sense of color and have adequate understanding of artistic problems.
Characteristics of learning style focus on listening as the primary tool for absorbing information or knowledge. That is, must listen, then can remember and understand certain information. This learning style requires individuals to touch something that provides certain information in order to remember it. Just by holding it, someone with this learning style can absorb information without reading the explanation.
Individuals with this learning style find that they can learn better when the process is accompanied by physical activity. Students' learning styles cannot be changed, but when students understand the learning style that a teacher expects from students, they can increase their own learning style to match that individual's learning style. Teachers must be able to understand each student's learning style so that the material can reach students with different characteristics and learning styles so that the teaching and learning process is effective.
A learning style is a person's tendency to use a certain way of learning in order to learn well.
