Novi Yufitri, 2014 Identify Role Of Learning Style Towards Students’ Cognitive Achievement And Creativity On Optics Instrument Concept Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia | repository.upi.edu | perpustakaan.upi.edu Chapter One provides the background of the study which established the importance of the independent variables and the outcome variable intent to use learning style preference information in the statement of the problem, purpose and significance of the research. The research problem, the research question, limitation, objective and benefit are also identified in Chapter One. Chapter Two presents the review of li terature related to this study’s conceptual framework. The chapter introduction is followed by a discussion of the conceptual issues of learning styles such as the variation in definitions of learning style, conceptual frameworks and model descriptions, learning styles instruments, key characteristics of learning styles, definition of creativity, student creativity , product of creativity and concept. Independent and dependent are discussed as they link to the research. Chapter Three discusses the methodology, instrument development, data collection, and data analysis used to conduct the study. Chapter Four reports the results of the data analyses related to the research question. Chapter Five provides a summary of the findings and conclusions, limitations, implications and recommendations for further research.

CHAPTER III METHODOLOGY

A. Research Method and Design

1. Research method The reasearch method which was applied in this research was experimental research. In experimental research, the reserachers look at the effect of least one independendent variable on one or more dependent variable Fraenkel et al., 2009. The type of experimental research that is used in this study is weak experimental design, “weak” here means that there is no control for threats to internal validity. The dependent variable in this research are cognitive achievement and creativity, while the independent variable is learning style. According to the Frankael et al 2009 state that experimental study is the best type to testing hypothesis. That statement as one consideration of using this method is to testing hypothesis whether learning style has an impact in cognitive achievement or not. 2. Research design Type of weak experimental design that is used in this research is one- group Pretest-Posttest Design. In this research design, a single group is measured or observed not only after being exposed to treatment of some sort but also before Frankael et al., 2009. A table of this design is as follows: Tabel 3.1 The One Group Pretest-Posttest Design O X O Pretest Treatment Posttest
