An Analysis Of Visual Learning Style Used By The Second Semester Students Of English Language Education Of FKIP UIR

The aims of this research to find out the types and the dominant visual learning styles used by the second semester students of English Language Education of FKIP UIR. Visual learning style is the way for the students to think and examine about the information received by focusing on the vision and then draw conclusions about what they were seen about who learn using a visual learning style, generally more emphasis on their vision such as looking at symbols, graphs or other the things that can be seen directly with the eyes. Then, the researcher classified the types of visual learning style used by the characteristics of Fleming (2001). So, this research applied Model Myers-Brigg Types Indicator (MBTI)/ Personality (1975) and Kolb’s Learning Style (1984). Those the types of visual learning style devided into five types, namely: Extrovert, Sensing, Intuition, Diverger and Assimilators. In this research, the researcher used descriptive qualitative method. The participants involved in this research were 100 students of the Second Semester Students of English Language Education of FKIP UIR. Meanwhile, to determine the sample in this research, the researcher used simple random sampling by the lottery. So, the sample in this research, the researcher took 25 students from the participant. In collecting the data, the researcher used two kinds of instruments, they were: questionnaire and interview. The researcher used three major phases of data analysis, namely: data reduction, data display, and conclusion: drawing/ verifying. Based on the result in this research, the findings show that the types of visual learning style were diverger, assimilators, extrovert, sensing, intuition, sensing & intuition, sensing & diverger and intuition & diverger. Meanwhile for the dominant types of visual learning styles were sensing (24%) or 6 students. Then, another result from the types of visual learning styles, there were: intuition were 5 students (20%), extrovert were 4 students (16%), 3 students or (12%) in diverger, for the assimilators, sensing & intuition, sensing & diverger were 2 students (8%) and the last types of visual learning style were lowest is intuition & diverger (4%) or only 1 student
