On Learning Strategies for Engineering Design Specialty Students: A Comparative Study

Abstract:

The main purpose of the research is to find out the similarities or differences in employing foreign language learning strategies between female students and male students of Engineering Design Specialty. The investigation instruments included a questionnaire and Statistical Product and Service Solutions. There are altogether 41 valid questionnaires. The results show that both female students and male students of Engineering Design Specialty sometimes use the foreign language learning strategies at medium level. Male students use memory strategies, metacognitive strategies and affective strategies more frequently than female students, while female students use compensation strategies more frequently than male students. There is no statistically significant difference between female students and male students in using both direct learning strategies and indirect learning strategies, including memory strategies, compensation strategies, metacognitive strategies, affective strategies.
