Abstract EN
The aim of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of using learners’ different learning styles in developing the writing skills.
Prior to the exploration of their specific needs, it was found that they experienced writing difficulties.
One of their major problems is that they were taught regardless to their different learning styles.
Two classes of first year students were randomly chosen and divided into a control and an experimental group.
The Grasha-Riechmann Learning Style Survey (GRLSS) was distributed was given to the experimental group to help them be aware of their learning styles.
They were divided into small heterogeneous groups according to their learning styles.
The activities used in teaching were based on their learning styles.
A writing test was used as a pre-test and a post-test.
The analysis result of the pre-test showed no statistically significant differences, which in turn proves the equivalence of the two groups.
Meanwhile, the analysis result of the post-test showed the following: There are statistically-significant differences between the experimental group and the control group at a significance level of 0.05 for the interest of the experimental group.
The results of this investigation statistically support the research hypothesis.
Abstract FRE
La présente étude a pour but d'examiner l'efficacité des différents styles d'apprentissage dans le développement des compétences rédactionnelles.
Dans une tentative d'exploration des besoins des étudiants à ce niveau, nous avons constaté que l’un des principaux problèmes qu’ils rencontrent est qu’ils ont reçu un enseignement sans que les styles d’apprentissage n’y soient pris en considération.
Un échantillon de première année a été choisi aléatoirement puis divisé en deux groupes dont l’un est de contrôle et l’autre est expérimental.
Le group expérimental a été suivi et encadré de manière à ce que les étudiants prennent pleine conscience de l’importance des styles d’apprentissages.
Ces étudiants ont été divisés en petits groupes hétérogènes selon le style préféré, et les activités ont été définies en fonction du style d’apprentissage.
Les résultats obtenus après le test écrit, considéré comme test antérieur et postérieur, ont montré que la performance du groupe expérimental était bien meilleure de celle du groupe de contrôle.
