Abstract :

The purpose of the study was to investigate the effect of writing skills training on students’ intuitive learning style and problem solving based on MDP& MLP in Alborz Province. The research method was Quasi-experimental by using a two-group design with pre-test and post-test. Sample size was 120 students who were randomly selected as clusters from among a statistical population consisting of 4154 fifth-graders and 4237 sixth-graders in the academic year of 2017- 2018. Sixty students of sample group were randomly put in the experimental group and the others into the control group. First, both groups took the pre-test. The experimental group was trained in 10 sessions of writing skills training based on MDP& MLP and the control group was exposed to routine school education. Then both groups received post-test. Data were collected by a researcher-made questionnaire with Cronbach's alpha reliability coefficient of 0.90. The data were analyzed by SPSS software.The results of multivariate analysis of variance showed that there was a significant difference between the mean scores of the components of intuitive learning style and problem solving in both groups. There was also a significant difference in the pre-test and post-test of the experimental group (P≤0.01).Conclusion: Teaching writing skills based on MDP& MLP has a positive and significant effect on the intuitive learning style and problem solving (P≤0.01).Keywords:Writing Skills, Multidimensional Programming, Multimedia Learning Package, Intuitive Learning Style, Problem Solving.
