ABSTRACT
This study aims to examine the effectiveness of the Synectics learning model assisted by audiovisual media and to analyze the role of learning styles (visual, auditory, and kinesthetic) in students’ news text speaking skills at Madrasah Aliyah. The research employed a quantitative approach using a quasi-experimental design. The subjects of the study were 24 eleventh-grade students of class XI IPA 1. Data were collected through a speaking performance test and a learning style questionnaire and were analyzed using a t-test and one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). The results indicate that the Synectics model was significantly effective, as evidenced by an improvement in the mean score from 60.1 to 82.4. This improvement was further confirmed by the paired sample t-test results (t = 3.896, Sig. = 0.000). Furthermore, the ANOVA results revealed a significant difference in news text speaking achievement based on students’ learning styles (Sig. = 0.003; p < 0.05), indicating that the effectiveness of the model is influenced by students’ learning style types. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that the Synectics model is effective in improving news text speaking skills, and speaking instruction should take students’ learning style profiles into consideration.
