Building a Model for Evaluating and Applying the Arabic Language Curriculum for the Preparatory Stage

Abstract

The decided curricula for the learning stages is an important phase. The current study aims at building and applying a model for the evaluation of the Arabic language curriculum for the preparatory stage. The researcher followed the descriptive analytical and survey method. The research community and its sample were a number of the male and female teachers of the Arabic language. There are six fields to evaluate the curriculum thus the study content needs to be evaluated every four to six years to make some of the amendments or deletions or additions according to the aims and according to each new and useful information and skills that serve the learner and increase the usefulness and effectiveness of the language. The researcher used the Delphi method as well as a number of statistical rules to arrive at a final building of the model in the round of the three questionnaires to construct the evaluating model. The final number of the items of the model reached to (121) items. Then, the researcher conducted the procedures of applying the model after reaching to the final during the period from (9/10/2017) To 9/12/2017) to achieve the goal of the research which was the evaluation of the curriculum of the Arabic language in the preparatory stage. In order to fitful the need of answering the questionnaire, each member of the sample should read each item and indicate the degree of evaluation by seeing the availability of the content of the item in the curriculum in accordance with a triple scale (agree, agree to a certain extent, disagree), to take degrees (3, 2, 1) respectively. In the light of the results of the research, the researcher reaches to the conclusion that the items of each of the six areas included in the current research can form an integrated system of evaluation. The researcher recommends to adopt the model reached by the researcher in the research by the Ministry of Education and its directorates. The researcher suggestes conducting an applied study of the model reached by the researcher.
