PROMOTING GRAMMATICAL KNOWLEDGE THROUGH EMPOWERMENT OF STUDENTS’ LEARNING STYLES BASED ON CULTURAL DIMENSION THEORY

MAJIB HASIB. Promoting Grammatical Knowledge through Empowerment of Students’ Learning Styles based on Cultural Dimension Theory (supervised by Abdul Hakim Yassi and Nasmilah).
The research aims at investigating to what extent the empowerment of the learning styles helps the students achieve better learning outcomes.
The research used the quasi-experimental design clustering the experimental design into control and experimental groups. Data were collected using the cultural dimension questionnaire to determine the students’ learning styles. As directed by the cultural dimension theory, one group was assigned to use the students-centred learning and the other group used the teachers-centred learning. One-way Anove test was carried out to determine the samples homogeneity. The statistical analysis used Wilcoxon’s Statistic Test to compare the control group and experimental group outcomes.
The experimental group learning result indicates the “moderate” learning outcome significance compared with the control group. The outcome is not necessarily significant by consistent. The study indicates that empowering the students’ learning styles will help them learn better compared with the conventional teaching.
