The Effect of the Flexibility and Clarification Strategies On Achievement and Improvement of Linguistic Intelligence Skills and Attitudes Towards Arabic Language Subject for Vocational Education Students in Iraq

Abstract

The study aimed to identify the impact of the flexibility and clarification strategies on achievement and improvement of linguistic intelligence skills and attitudes towards the Arabic language subject among vocational education students in Iraq. The study adopted the semi-experimental approach, through application on two experimental and control groups of vocational education students in Iraq. The researcher selected two divisions of vocational education students in Iraq: (30) students in the experimental group and (30) students in the control group, so that the educational program was applied to the experimental group, and the control group was taught in the usual way. The educational program, the linguistic intelligence test, and the achievement test were used, and after performing the statistical treatment, the study reached the following results: There are no statistically significant differences at the level of (0.05) in the degree of achievement attributable to the student's gender, where the value of (P) is (1.43), which is not significant. Statistically, there are no statistically significant differences at the level of (0.05) in the degree of achievement due to the interaction between the group and the sex of the student, as the value of (P) reached (2.98) and it is not statistically significant, there are no statistically significant differences at the level of (0.05) In the degree of total linguistic intelligence attributable to the sex of the student, where the value of (P) was (7.09), which is not statistically significant, and there are no statistically significant differences at the level of (0.05) in the degree of total linguistic intelligence due to the interaction between the group and the student’s sex, where the value reached (P) (2.93) which is not statistically significant. The study recommended the importance of focusing in the classroom on basic skills in reading and writing, given that these skills have a great role in providing them with the necessary skills that will help them in the future in mastering the skills of reading and writing, and the focus of Arabic language curricula - specifically the lower basic stage - on investigation and storming skills. The teacher’s guide included some examples of study plans implemented through investigation and others through brainstorming.
