| description | Today, there are countless study materials, printed or online, available in the market.
Nevertheless, not all the materials are suitable to the learners’ need in terms of learning contents,
material presentation and especially learning styles. However, with properly customized
learning materials, educators will be able to provide their learners with better learning activities
and more personalized learning opportunities. In this study, the Felder and Silverman Learning
Style Model (FSLSM), is proposed as a probable learning solution for developing the most
appropriate and feasible technology-based or self-learning environment. The purpose of using
this solution is to cater the different learners’ learning styles. A research question was asked on
what learning style(s) is/are preferred by the full-time (FT) and distance-learning (ePJJ) learners.
An online Index of Learning Styles (ILS) questionnaire was employed as a measuring
instrument. A total of 55 learners from two classes, FT and ePJJ at Universiti Teknologi MARA
(UiTM) Shah Alam participated in the study during the Sept-Dec 2013 session. The findings
reveal that majority are active, sensing, visual and sequential learners. The implication of this
study supports the notion that learners’ learning styles can affect their success in language
learning. Hence, language instructors, who address their learners’ learning styles, can provide
their learners with a more effective learning environment. |
