The Effect of Learning Schedules Strategy on Teaching Arabic Grammar to Fifth Grade Primary Students

Abstract

The researcher aims to know the impact of the academic schedule strategy in teaching Arabic grammar to fifth grade students by testing the validity of the following null hypothesis:

There are no statistically significant differences at the level of (0.05) between the average scores of the experimental group students who studied according to the learning schedule strategy and the average scores of the control group students who studied in the traditional way. The researcher has chosen the experimental design with partial control.  For this study the researcher randomly chose Mustafa Jawad Primary School of the General Directorate of Education in Diyala Governorate / Khalis District as a representative of the experimental field consisting of two primary sections for the fifth grade and (33) control  group. The researcher identified the scientific material for the Arabic grammar material, which included seven topics from the Arabic language book. After that the researcher has formulated behavioral goals amounting to (68) behavioral goals, and the researcher prepared an educational plan model in accordance with the strategy of learning schedules to teach to students of the experimental group. 

And another plan to teach the students of the control group according to the traditional method. The research tool was a post-educational test of Arabic grammar consisting of (30) items, the researcher used statistical methods from the educational package of the statistical program SPSS issue (19) and

 chi-square, Pearson's correlation coefficient, Cyberman-Brown, difficulty coefficient, discriminatory strength, efficacy of false alternatives. At the end of the experiment, the researcher reached several results, including that the performance of the students in the experimental group was better than the students in the control group in the post-test. Based on the results of the research, the researcher recommends several recommendations, including the following: 1- The need to use the strategy of learning schedules in teaching Arabic grammar among fifth grade primary students. 2- Working on training Arabic language teachers and teaching them on the steps of applying the learning schedules strategy. Through the results of the research, the researcher proposed some suggestions, including the following: Conducting a study similar to the current study in other variables such as acquisition and development of syntactic skills and critical and scientific thinking in Arabic grammar
