The Psychological Effect of the Star Strategy on the Reading Awareness of Middle First Grade Students

Abstract

This study aimed to identify the effect of the star strategy on the reading awareness of the female students of the first intermediate grade in Iraq. And an experimental group of (43) students who studied the same topics and texts using the star strategy. The researchers used a Quranic awareness test consisting of (25) items distributed over four reading awareness skills (planning, organization, and evaluation).              

Including three alternatives, and preparing a language ability test consisting of (20) items containing four alternatives. The researchers applied the two tools to the two research groups after the end of the eight-week experiment, and the same researchers taught the two research groups

The researchers used the following statistical analysis methods: the spss statistical bag, the second test for two independent samples, the chi-square (K2), the Pearson correlation coefficient, the equation for the coefficient of difficulty and discrimination, and the equation for the effectiveness of false (camouflaged) alternatives. After analyzing the results statistically, the researchers concluded: There are statistically significant differences. In reading awareness, the experimental group that studied reading topics and texts reconciled with the star strategy, and they also recommended the use of the star strategy in teaching reading and texts, developing reading skills in reading, conversation, and all cognitive and reading topics, and using classical Arabic in teaching the branches of the Arabic language in general . The two researchers also suggested conducting a study similar to knowing the effect of using the star strategy in other subjects of the Arabic language, such as rhetoric and the history of literature, and at different academic stages, and conducting another study to know the effect of the star strategy on other variables such as: linguistic awareness, rapid reading skills, and semantics.
