Lieu, Pin-huei
Abstract
The main purpose of this study intended to discuss the effect of Field Independent subjects(FIs), Field Dependent subjects (FDs) of junior high school using Discovery, Rule Learning approaches on identifying English clauses task. The questions explored here were:
1.How did FIs and FDs differently perform on identifying English clauses tasks.
2.How did Discovery and Rule learning approaches differently perform on identifying English clauses tasks.
3.How did FIs / FDs and Discovery/Rule learning approaches create interactive effect on identifying English clauses tasks.
The study used experimental research method. The subjects were 90 third grade students of junior high school. According to the scores of Embedded Figures Test students were divided into FI and FD. Then depending on the scores of the prior test on identifying English clauses task, FIs and FDs match with two group to accept Discovery and Rule learning approaches , and each one was composed of 10 students. The instruments was ¡§ Embedded Figures Test¡¨ , ¡§self-made that clauses test ,¡¨and the information acquired was dealt with statistical testing through 2*2 ANOVA .The results indicated as followings.
1.An interactive effect of cognitive style and learning approaches were found through ANOVA. FIs using Discovery learning performed better than using Rule learning ,and FDs using Rule learning performed better using Discovery learning .In sum ,FIs appropriately use Discovery learning approach and FDs appropriately use Rule learning approach on identifying English clauses task.
2.Cognitive style lives up significantly different level .FIs performed better than those of FDs.
3.No overall difference were found between Discovery and Rule learning approach.
Finally the study discussed the above results in more detail ,and provided suggestions and references of research concerning teaching of English clauses .
