| dc.description.abstract | In the era of globalization, it takes the ability to speak English as an international language in order to compete with others. One of the skills learned is the ability to write. There are various methods that teachers can use in learning. One of the factors that influence the learning process is learning style. Learning style is the way students absorb and process information. In general, learning styles are divided into three, namely visual, audio, and kinesthetic learning styles. Every student has a different learning style. This difference in learning styles has the potential to provide varied writing results, depending on how students absorb and process information. This study aims to see whether there is a significant difference in the ability to write narrative texts on students' learning styles.
This study uses a comparative research method with a quantitative approach. The population used is all 9th grade students at SMPN 4 Gresik. While sampling using simple random sampling method so that all populations have the opportunity to be a sample. The variable used is the dependent variable (Y), namely the ability to write narrative texts and the independent variable (X) is learning style. The data was collected using a questionnaire with a Likert scale of 4 alternative answers and the report card scores for the ability to write narrative texts in semesters 4 to 5. Data analysis used ANOVA.
The results of filling out the questionnaire by students were 23 students using visual learning styles, 28 students using visual learning styles, and 11 students using kinesthetic learning styles. Meanwhile, from the results of data analysis using ANOVA, it was found that the F-statistic value was (5,469) > F.05(2;59)=3.153, so reject H0. In addition, judging from the p-value (0.007) < (0.05) then reject H0. So that there is a significant difference in the ability to write narrative texts on students' learning styles. The learning style that produces the highest narrative text writing score is visual with an average score of 81.13 and a standard deviation of 4.08. The learning style that produces the highest narrative text writing score is kinesthetic with an average score of 78.09 and a standard deviation of 6.16. And the learning style that produces the lowest score in writing narrative text is audio with an average value of 76.64 and a standard deviation of 4.88.
The conclusion from this research is that there are significant differences in the ability to write narrative texts on students' learning styles due to differences in absorbing and processing information. It is hoped that this research will be able to help students recognize and understand learning styles so that they are able to maximize their potential. Meanwhile, teachers are expected to be able to maximize the methods and media used in learning so that all student learning styles are facilitated.
