Subjek penelitian diambil secara acak setelah diuji dengan learning style checklist untuk mengklasifikasikan gaya belajar siswa dan tes kosakata untuk mengukur pemahaman mereka tentang kosakata bahasa Inggris. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa TPS lebih baik daripada Jigsaw dalam meningkatkan penguasaan kosakata siswa, tidak ada perbedaan dalam pencapaian kosakata  pelajar global dan analitik yang mungkin menyebabkan bahwa ada interaksi antara penguasaan kosakata, teknik mengajar, dan gaya belajar walaupun itu tidak signifikan. Terkadang, gaya belajar dapat bergantung pada situasi. Dapat dikatakan bahwa pelajar global dan analitik cenderung menyukai teknik TPS.  

The article reports a study conducted on college students to examine the difference in students' vocabulary achievement taught using Jigsaw and TPS, to estimate the difference in vocabulary achievement of global and analytic learners, and to explore the interaction between the teaching technique and learning styles on students’ vocabulary mastery. The subjects were taken purposively after being tested by a learning style checklist to classify the students’ learning styles and a vocabulary test to measure their understanding of English vocabulary. The results showed that TPS is better than Jigsaw in improving the students’ vocabulary mastery. There was no difference in vocabulary achievement of global and analytic learners that might cause an interaction among the variables although it was not significant. Sometimes, learning styles can depend on the situation. It can be said that both global and analytic learners tend to be fond of TPS technique.

Keywords: Learning styles, teaching techniques, vocabulary mastery.
