The effect of the Arabic e-content on students’ achievement of the discovery school secondary stage in grammar and their attitudes towards it

Abstract EN

This study aims to investigate the effect of the e-content of the Arabic Language subject on the students’ achievement at the first secondary stage level one, through answering these four questions: 1 - Is there any statistically significant difference at (α ≤ 0.05) in the students' performance in the grammar subjects attributed to e-content compared to the traditional methods? 2 - Is there any statistically significant difference at (α ≤ 0.05) in the students' performance in the grammar attributed to the gender? 3 - Is there any statistically significant difference at the (α ≤ 0.05) in the students' performance in the grammar subjects attributed to the interaction between the teaching method and the gender of the students? 4 - Is there any statistically significant difference at (α ≤ 0.05) in the students’ attitudes towards e- content attributed to their gender? The researcher had chosen (116) male and female students at the first level of the secondary stage.

Then, they were distributed into two groups: the first was the experimental group which consisted of (25) male students and (34) female students who were taught by using the Arabic e- content.

The second was the control group that consisted of (26) male students and (31) female students who were taught using the traditional method.

The study tools consisted of an achievement test that contained (28) items of multiple choice questions and a trends questionnaire consisting of (28) items.

The researcher used the Two- Way- ANOVA.

The study showed that there are significant statistical differences at (α ≤ 0.05) attributed to the teaching approach in favor of the experimental group that was taught by using the Arabic e-content.

The study recommended the necessity of developing the educational e-content on clear scientific bases for the Arabic language subject and other school subjects for the secondary stage, in order to develop the knowledge structure for learners.

The study also recommended conducting further research and studies in designing the educational e-content in congruent with other educational programs as well as training the Arabic language subject teachers on making use of the effective teaching models, and motivating them to use various methods and techniques to deal with students’ weak achievement in grammar.

Finally, the study suggested conducting further related studies in other educational dimensions such as the motivation in using computers in teaching.
