The impact of the aggregation strategy on acquiring and retaining Islamic concepts among students of the fourth literary grade

Abstract

This research aims to find out the impact of the aggregation strategy on acquiring and retaining Islamic concepts among students of the fourth literary grade. 1. There are no statistically significant differences at level (0.05) between the mean scores of the experimental group that studies Islamic education using the grouping strategy, and the mean scores of the control group that studies the subject in the usual way in the acquisition of Islamic concepts test prepared by the researcher at the end of the experiment. 2. There are no statistically significant differences at level (0.05) between the mean scores of the experimental group that studies Islamic education using the grouping strategy, and the mean scores of the control group that studies the subject in the usual way in the Islamic concepts retention test. The research sample reached (58) students, with (29) students in the experimental group that is taught according to the (collecting) strategy and (29) students in the control group that is taught in the traditional way. The researcher rewarded the two research groups with the following variables (chronological age calculated in months, intelligence test (Raven test), grades of Islamic Education for the previous year). The researcher prepared a test for acquiring Islamic concepts of the type (multiple choice) consisting of (45) items. Its apparent validity, content validity, discriminatory power, and difficulty coefficient were verified. As for its stability, it was extracted by the semi-division method, as it reached (0.88), which is a good reliability coefficient. very. And the researcher re-application of the test after three weeks to measure retention among students (two research groups). The researcher used the appropriate statistical methods to achieve the objectives of the research, and the study resulted in the superiority of the students of the experimental group, which was studied using the grouping strategy to acquire and retain Islamic concepts, over the control group, which was taught in the traditional way. In the light of the results, the researcher concluded that teaching using the aggregation strategy has an effective role in increasing the acquisition of concepts among students and increasing the retention of Islamic information in their memory, since this educational strategy provides the opportunity for students to discuss opinions, put forward ideas and reach answers, and it also works on continuous encouragement for students during Relying on themselves in education according to this educational system. The researcher recommended the adoption of a grouping strategy in teaching Islamic education in the preparatory stage for its active role in raising the level of academic achievement and retaining information.
