The effect of using a teaching strategy on developing technical skills for middle school students

Abstract

The current study was conducted to find out the effect of using the cooperative learning strategy in developing technical skills for middle school students for the academic year 2021-2022. The researcher used the experimental research method and the design of a single group with a pre and post test. The purpose of reaching the results of the research, he formulated the following hypothesis: - There are no statistically significant differences at the level (5%) between the average scores of the research group in the pre and post tests in skill performance according to the test requirements skilled.

The research group consisted of middle school students (first, second, third) average.  Their number reached (325) students and after the exclusion of some of them because of the previous experience of some of them and the absence of some of them. Their total became (290) students. The researcher intentionally chose a sample of (125) students.  Their achievement was measured through paragraphs specific to the skill aspect and its development, and the stability of the paragraphs was measured by evaluating several experts and finding the stability coefficient between their correction. The pre and post test is a positive indicator towards the use of the cooperative learning strategy in art education lessons for the purpose of developing the technical skills of the students.
