The effectiveness of the role-playing strategy in the achievement of fifth grade students in dictation

Abstract

The research aims to identify "the effectiveness of the role-playing strategy in the achievement of the fifth grade students in dictation subject". The researcher followed the experimental research approach, adopting the experimental design with two experimental and control groups. She chose a representative sample for her research, which included (30) male and female students, and distributed them into two groups, which included the experimental (15) male and female students. The control group included (15) male and female students as well, and rewarded them in the variables of the first semester grades and intelligence test scores. Determining the scientific material, preparing educational plans, and preparing dictated passages to the students. Then, she chose the correction criteria, and chose (30) notebooks from the students’ notebooks who wrote in a specific piece of spelling to test the stability of the correction criteria. The researcher found that the stability of the correction is high and acceptable. After the end of the experiment period, the researcher collected the scores of the research sample students from their notebooks and extracted the arithmetic average of their scores in the spelling blocks. Then she tested the research hypothesis by using the t-test. It became clear that the students of the experimental group were superior to the students of the control group, as the calculated t-value was greater than the tabular t-value. After that, the researcher concluded a number of conclusions and a number of other connections according to the results of the research by conducting studies which is similar to the current research to confirm the effectiveness of the role-playing strategy in dictation in other stages of study and other branches of the Arabic language.
