Abstract

To achieve this purpose, the researcher has followed the descriptive analytical approach in his research, and he has chosen the research community and its sample in an intentional method  “General Directorate of Education / Baghdad / al-Rusafa/third”  for the academic year (2020-2021). The sample includes (70) male and female teachers, that is, (35) male teachers and (35) female teachers teaching the Arabic language in primary Schools. The researcher has used a questionnaire of attitudes scale paragraphs; the questionnaire includes 30 paragraphs in its final form. The researcher has relied on extracting the apparent reliability by presenting these paragraphs to a group of experts and arbitrators in the Arabic language curriculums and its teaching methods, measurement and evaluation as to show their opinion about the reliability of these paragraphs and to express their opinions thereon. The researcher has relied on the  Five-point Likert  scale that includes  five levels since it is characterized with accuracy, comprehensiveness and stability; the researcher has used appropriate statistical methods in his research.

The results of the research have showed as follows: There is a variance in the answers of the research sample (teachers) to the paragraphs of the questionnaire towards teachers' attitudes in using the electronic educational platform.

 Paragraph (1) has got first rank (1), which is: (I consider that learning through the electronic educational platform is a necessity for every teacher), while Paragraph (4) ranked (2), which is: (I consider that the use of the electronic educational platform is one of the modern basics of technologies in teaching).

While the variation in the answers of the research sample of (female teachers) on the paragraphs of the questionnaire towards attitudes of female teachers in using the electronic educational platform has showed the following:

 Paragraph (14) has got first rank (1), which is: (I consider that the usual method of teaching gives better results than teaching using the electronic educational platform), while paragraph (21) ranked (2), which is: (I consider that the electronic educational platform helps reminding  me the subject that I teach.)

This indicates that there is no statistically significant difference at the significance level (0.05) between the average answers of (male and female teachers), about challenges they confront by  using the electronic educational platform in the primary stage.

 From what has been mentioned above, the researcher concludes that  the electronic educational platform contributes into creating an interactive environment by which  the educational process essential elements are attracted  during  the electronic lesson .

 In the current study , the researcher recommends to necessarily have male and female  teachers of Arabic language enter into developmental and qualification courses  on the optimal use of electronic communication programs and other electronic educational platforms.

The researcher suggests conducting several studies similar study to the current research in the (intermediate and elementary ) stages.
