STYLES AND STRATEGIES

A.    PROCESS, STYLE AND STRATEGY

The differences among process, style, and strategy. Basically, it has been confusion among process, style, and strategy. So, below are the definition of process, style and strategy.

1.      However process is the characteristic of every human beings. Process is close to human beings since human beings can make stimulus-response connections and are driven by reinforcement. It means that process also can be definition as a series of actions that produce something or that lead to a particular result.

2.      Then, talking about style, generally, style is like the general characteristic of intellectual functioning as like personality type, character, and so forth which is make an individual can differentiate by someone else.

3.      The last is strategy, if we talk about strategy that approach to how the way we have a method that it can solve a problem or task, modes of achieving, and plan for controlling and manipulating certain information.

B.     LEARNING STYLES

Definition of learning style based on Skehan (1991,p.288) “learning style as  a general predisposition, voluntary or not, toward processing information in a particular way.” Learning style can be separated into three aspects such as cognitive, affective, and physiological. As like style, learning style is truly crucial in learning a second language since learning style can bring the important variable. The simply is learning style can identify by communicative, cultural, affective, cognitive, and intellectual factor.

C.    FIELD INDEPENDENCE

The "field" may be perceptual an abstract, such as a set of ideas, thoughts, or feelings from which the task is to perceive specific subsets. Field dependence is, conversely, the tendency to be "dependent" on the total field so that the parts embedded within the field are not easily perceived, though that total field is perceived most clearly as a unified whole (Brown: 1994).

The characteristic of Field Independence are

1.      Impersonal orientation : using internal of reference process of information

2.      Analytic : perceives a field in terms of component parts that it distinguish from background

3.      Independent : sense of separate identity

The characteristics of Field Dependence

1.      Personal orientation : Using external frame of reference in processing information

2.      Holistic : perceives field as a whole; parts are fused with background

3.      Dependent : sense of themselves view is derived from others

Thus, both FI and FD are necessary for cognitive and affective problem that we face.
