The Effectiveness of the Hilda Taba Model in the Achievement of History for Fifth-Grade Literature Students in Kirkuk

Abstract

        The research sample consisted of students who were divided into two groups, one experimental and the other control. The experimental group studied the Hilda Tabb model, while the control group studied using the traditional or classical method only. Equivalence was made between the two groups in terms of chronological age and history grade in the fourth and fifth literary grades. The test period lasted 12 weeks. Then the researcher prepared an achievement test. The results were analyzed using the T-test for two independent samples. The results showed that the experimental group outperformed the control group. This is due to the effectiveness of the Hilda Tabb model in achievement. In light of these results, a number of questions were put forward at any time, and a number of recommendations and suggestions were put forward. Therefore, our current topic and main problem lies in the extent to which students comprehend these historical materials and abstract historical facts that have reached us through historians, who themselves arrived at this historical subject matter, and the extent to which the student's perspective on history has changed. The real problem is the complete comprehension of these historical topics through the current model. The following research aims to identify (the effectiveness of Hilda Taba's model in the achievement of fifth-grade literary students in history).
