The effect of using the verbal map strategy on the achievement of first-year intermediate students in Arabic grammar

Abstract

This research aims to (the effect of using the verbal mapping strategy on the achievement of first-year intermediate students in Arabic grammar). To achieve this, the researcher adopted one of the experimental designs with partial control and a final test for the two research groups, one experimental and the other control. The verbal thinking mapping strategy has proven its effectiveness and impact in... First grade students’ achievement is average in Arabic grammar compared to the traditional method. This strategy is one of the strategies that works to summarize the scientific material, making it more focused and easier to understand. The verbal thinking map strategy is one of the strategies that works to summarize the scientific material, making it more focused and easier for students to understand, as it makes the students the focus of the educational process and the teacher directs them through the use of verbal thinking maps.Second: Recommendations:In light of the results of the current research, the researcher recommends the following:It is necessary for students to be aware of the verbal mapping strategy in terms of its importance and application, and for teachers of other academic subjects. The verbal map strategy can be relied upon when studying Arabic grammar for the first intermediate grade.Working to include in the curricula of teaching methods in educational colleges the strategic steps of the verbal thinking map as effective strategies in curricula that teach the Arabic language in colleges and institutes related to preparing teachers of the subject. Holding training courses for male and female teachers to train them on modern teaching strategies, such as the map strategyConclusions The verbal thinking maps strategy has proven its effectiveness and impact on the achievement of first-year intermediate students in Arabic grammar compared to the usual method. This strategy is one of the strategies that works to summarize the scientific material, making it more focused and easier to understand. Recommendations:In light of the results of the current research, the researcher recommends the following:1- The need for students’ awareness of the verbal mapping strategy in terms of its importance and application, and for teachers of other academic subjects.Suggestions:Based on this, the researcher suggests the following:1- Conduct an experimental study similar to the current study to determine the effect of the verbal map on other variables, such as retention, transfer of learning effects, and critical thinking.
