Master Title
A Program Based On Brain-Based Learning To Develop Interpretive Reading Skills In Arabic Among Undergraduate Students
Master Abstract
Faculty of Education
Department of Curricula and Teaching Methods
Introduction:
Arabic is one of the well-known Semitic languages, indeed the most famous among them (named after Shem, son of Noah). Language is a symbol of civilization and a means of communication among members of society. God honored the Arabic language above all others by making it the language of the Holy Quran, which elevated its status and value among languages thanks to the Quran that preserved the Arabic language. Language is the primary factor in transmitting cultural heritage and passing it down through generations.
The Arabic language has four skills: listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Each skill influences and is influenced by the others. Each skill has its importance and impact on the other skills. Reading is considered one of the most important linguistic skills without dispute. Interpretive reading represents an essential part of the objectives of teaching reading. Through interpretation, the student can interact with the text, which makes them feel comfortable and reassured due to understanding what they read.
Interpretive reading guides the student to study the ideas, meanings, and implicit (latent and hidden) content between the lines by practicing several processes such as comprehension, inference, comparison, reasoning, and other operations targeting the text’s words, structures, sentences, and information to achieve the goal of interpretation and analysis from its study and understanding (Sayed Ibrahim, 2021, p. 522).
(Zabana Al-Kindi, 2016) indicates that the most distinctive feature of interpretive reading, which gives it a special character compared to other types of reading, is the student's interaction with the read text through the integration of the student's previous knowledge and experiences with the new experiences gained from the text. The student thus arrives at the text’s advantages and disadvantages by focusing on the suggestions, signals, symbols, and indications mentioned in the text.
One of the theories that paid attention to the brain in general and language in particular is the Brain-Based Learning Theory. This theory focuses on what the brain does, which is required by interpretive reading that involves mental effort, searching for implicit meanings, indirect concepts, and so forth. Therefore, this research will address the principles of brain-based learning, which includes several strategies. We will discuss those that suit the skills of interpretive reading, such as Think-Pair-Share, Cooperative Learning, Computer (video clips), Self-Table, and Brainstorming.
This theory represents a comprehensive learning approach, which sees learning as proceeding in successive stages as mentioned by both (Eric Jensen, 2007, p. 37) and (Khaled Al-Osaimi, 2016, p. 565). These stages include five phases:
Stages of Brain-Based Learning: Preparation, Acquisition, Elaboration (Processing), Memory Formation, Functional Integration
Studies such as those by Azoo Afaneh and Youssef Al-Jaish (2009, pp. 98-105), Suleiman Abdulwahed (2011, p. 107), and Zouqan Obeidat (2003, pp. 54-55) have confirmed that brain-based learning is founded on a set of principles that form the cornerstone for acquiring true learning meaning. These principles are summarized in two main pillars:
1. Perception, which includes:
o The brain is a dynamic, living, and complex system.
o The brain has a social nature.
o The search for meaning is innate, and the brain seeks meaning through patterns.
o Emotions are important and necessary for forming patterns.
2. Learning, which includes:
o Learning involves both attention and perception of peripheral stimuli.
o Learning encompasses conscious and unconscious processes.
o Learning is characterized by growth and development.
o Stimulation and challenge enhance learning, while threat and stress suppress and hinder it.
o Each brain is organized in a unique way.
Problem Awareness:
The research problem is clearly identified as the weakness among university students at the Faculty of Education in interpretive reading skills, as evidenced by:
1. Practical experience: Through supervision of students during practical education.
2. Exploratory study: An exploratory test was conducted on a sample of first-year university students at the Faculty of Education, general section, showing percentages ranging between 23% and 58%, confirming the weakness of interpretive reading skills among this selected group and emphasizing the need to develop these skills.
3. Previous studies: Related studies and literature revealed weaknesses among university students regarding interpretive reading skills. Studies by Shawqi (2016), Al-Samman (2020), Darwish and Shehab (2021), and Ibrahim (2021) confirmed that most students experience great difficulty during reading. This is manifested in several ways, including weak ability to infer implicit connotations not explicitly stated by the author, difficulty in determining word meanings in different contexts, and shortcomings in interpreting and discussing the connotations of various words and structures (Rania Kamel and Samia Abdullah, 2022, p. 15).
Research Problem and Questions:
The research attempts to answer the main question:
• How Can a program be built based on brain-based learning in developing interpretive reading skills among university students?
From this main question, the following two questions arise:
1. What are the interpretive reading skills required for university students?
2. What is the proposed design of the program based on brain-based learning to develop interpretive reading skills for university students?
3. What is the effectiveness of a program based on brain-based learning in developing interpretive reading skills among university students?
Significance of the Research:
The current research may benefit the following groups:
- Faculty members: by providing a guiding manual for teachers (faculty members) to assist them in implementing program procedures to develop interpretive reading skills based on brain-based learning theory.
- Researchers: by opening new horizons and diverse topics for using brain-based learning theory with other language skills or in other subjects.
- Students: by developing interpretive reading skills for university students and attempting to equip them with the ability to interpret and interact with the texts they read.
Research Objectives:
The current study aims to:
- Development the appropriate interpretive reading skills for university students.
- Built a program based on brain-based learning to enhance interpretive reading skills.
• Research Hypotheses:
There is a statistically significant difference at the 0.05 significance level between the mean scores of the research group in the pre-test and post-test of the inferential reading skills test overall, in favor of the post-test.
• A statistically significant difference between the mean scores of the research group in the pre- and post-tests for interpretive reading skills (vocabulary dimension) in favor of the post-test.
• A statistically significant difference between the mean scores of the research group in the pre- and post-tests for interpretive reading skills (ideas dimension) in favor of the post-test.
• A statistically significant difference between the mean scores of the research group in the pre- and post-tests for interpretive reading skills (text structure dimension) in favor of the post-test.
• A statistically significant difference between the mean scores of the research group in the pre- and post-tests for interpretive reading skills (linguistic accuracy dimension) in favor of the post-test.
Research Boundaries:
1. A sample of first-year students at the Faculty of Education, General Section (Arabic Language).
2. Some interpretive reading skills.
3. Some brain-based learning strategies such as brainstorming, self-table, mind maps, working in small groups, and Think-Pair-Share.
4. The time period for implementing the program is thirteen sessions, totaling twenty-six hours.
