Aya H. H. The effect of the logical alignment strategy on acquiring linguistic concepts among students of the faculties of education at the University of Tikrit and developing their logical thinking

Abstract

The researcher followed the experimental design, which consisted of two groups, one experimental and the other control, as the researcher chose the faculties of education at the University of Tikrit and intentionally the College of Education for Human Sciences was chosen to be an experimental group studying using the logical alignment strategy. The researcher was keen before starting the experiment to statistically equivalence of the two research groups in a number of variables that are believed to affect the safety of the experiment. The researcher identified the educational material to be taught, which is the book of Ibn Aqeel's explanation, and the researcher also prepared model teaching plans for both groups. The research tool was the test of the acquisition of linguistic concepts, which included (33) test paragraphs of the type of multiple choice measures the three processes of acquisition of the concept, and was confirmed the sincerity and stability and strength of discriminatory and the effectiveness of the wrong alternatives and the coefficient of difficulty, the second tool has been a test of logical thinking be in its final form of (30) Paragraph and the honesty and consistency of this test were calculated.
After the preparation of the two research tools, the logical thinking test was applied, and after the completion of the application of the experiment, the researcher applied the two research tools (the dimensional grammatical concept acquisition test and the dimensional logical thinking test) on the two research groups, and after collecting and processing data statistically using the T-test for two independent samples, the results showed the following: There is a statistically significant difference at the level of (0.05) between the average scores of the experimental group that teaches grammar according to the logical alignment strategy and in the grammatical concept acquisition test in favor of the experimental group. In the test of logical thinking after and in favor of the experimental group and in the pre- and post-test of logical thinking and in favor of the post-test.
In light of the results of the research, the researcher recommended a number of recommendations. including: The researcher reached a number of conclusions, including the possibility of applying the logical alignment strategy to students of the faculties of education at the University of Tikrit. The researcher also recommended the need to provide teachers with a book that includes modern methods in all teaching, including the logical alignment strategy to choose the teacher in the way that suits him. To complement the current study, the researcher proposed several future research directions, including:‘A study to examine the effectiveness of the logical alignment strategy in enhancing academic achievement among students in colleges of education and developing their visual thinking skills’
