The Effect of the Learning cycle in the Acquisition of Grammatical Cncept in Arabic Grammar Language for fourth-Grad literary students

Abstract

The research aims to know the effect of the learning cycle in the acquisition of grammatical concept in Arabic grammar language for fourth – grad literary studentts . The researcher hypothesized the following hypothesis : -There is no significant statistical difference at level of (0.05) between the average scores of the students ( boys and girls) of experimental group who studied Arabic grammer by using the learning cycle and those who studied the same subjects by using the traditional method . -There is no significant stasistical difference at level of (0.05) between the average scores of the students ( boys ) of experimental group who studied Arabic grammer by using the learning cycle and those who studied the same subjects by using Learning cycle itself .To achieve the aims of the present study the researcher chose experimentally determined with a partial set (experimental group and control group ) and a test to acquire grammatical concepts , and two schoolS are chosen by the researcher : Ali Bin Abi Tallib secondary school for boys and Al – Muqdadiah secondary school for girls from the directorate of Al – Muqdadiah in provence of Diyala to conduct the experiment in the second semester for the academic year 2012- 2013 .The researcher chose randomly two classes from both schools , and the number of students in the sample was ( 128 ) students ( boys and girls ) Equivalence has been made between the two groups in the variables : (chronological age of the students measured in months ,and degrees of Arabic language for the half year , and degrees of language ability test , and educational attainment of parents ).The researcher prepares lesson plans for experiment subjects on learning cycle and the traditional method to the two groups (experimental and control ) . the experiment lasted for ( 8 ) weeks .The researcher made final test to aquire grammatical concepts which is consisted of (30 ) items ,as multiple choice items . Validity and reliability of the test were computed by the researcher . A nmber of scholars and supervisors were asked to examine the items of the test to check its face validity. The researcher used statistical tools to achieve the statistcics are counting cofficient , the power of discrimination ( T.test samples, chi – squar (k²), pearson correlation coefficient, difficulty items coefficient , the power of discrimination items , and the effectiveness of alternatives ) in the analysis of the results . Both groups have been taught by the researcher himself which included (4) subjects from Arabic grammar text book for fourth – grad literary students . After analizing the results of the students answer and treating them statistically the researcher concluded the following :-1 – The outweigh of the experimental group students ( boys ) who studied Arabic grammar by using learning cycle to the control group students ( boys ) who studied Arabic grammer by using ordinary method ( studnts of Ali Bin Abi Talib secondary school for boys ) .2 – The outweigh of the experimental group students ( girls ) who studied Arabic grammar by using learning cycle to the control group students ( girls ) who studied Arabic grammar by using ordinary method ( students of Al – Muqdadiya secondary school for girls ).3 – There is no statistical differences between the achievement of the experimental group ( boys ) who studied Arabic grammar by using learning cycle and those who studied Arabic grammar by using learning cycle itself related to sex ( boys and girls ) .Accordingly , the researcher concluded a number of conclusions , including : -The learning cycle helped students to acquire grammatical concepts better than the others He recommended numbers of recommendation , including :-Need to use learning cycle in the teaching of Arabic grammar in the forth – grade literary students , and in various stages of moral education . He suggested : -A similar study need to be conducted by using learning cycle on creative thinking on the other branches of the Arrabic language .
