تقويم مستويات تلاميذ الصف الرابع الابتدائي في التمكن من عمليات الفهم اللازمة لاجتياز اختبارات : "التقدم في الدراسة الدولية للتنور القرائي" (PIRLS)‎

Abstract EN

The present study aimed at evaluating the levels of fourth grade primary students in mastering the comprehension processes necessary to pass the "Progress in the International Reading Literacy Study" (PIRLS) tests.

In the research of the problem, the descriptive analytical method was relied on, and the study tools were: (PIRLS) tests and the comprehension processes necessary to pass the (PIRLS) tests.

A mastery level of (80% ) was determined for each test, and for each of the four processes targeted in the second test.

Results proved that the sample was unable to pass the two tests; as the average of all their scores – boys and girls – fell below the reference average specified for each of them; Hence, none of them achieved the required level of mastery.

Results also proved that the sample was unable to perform the four targeted processes in the second test (each separately); as the average score for all of them - boys and girls - fell below the reference average set for each process.

In light of the previous results, the study suggested an enrichment program to enable fourth grade primary students to pass the PIRLS tests, determining the program's content, its objectives, teaching strategies, the variety of the activities used, the assessment methods, and finally the time plan for its implementation.
