أثر استخدام استراتيجية القراءة الفاعلة في تحسين التحصيل المعرفي ودافعية الإنجاز الأكاديمي SQ3R

Abstract

Study abstract:     The current study aimed to identify the relationship of the active reading strategy (SQ3R) to improving achievement and academic achievement motivation among female students of the Chemistry Department at Najran University. To achieve the objectives of the study, an experimental method was used based on a quasi-experimental design. The two study tools consisted of an achievement test and a measure of academic achievement motivation. Then they were applied to the two groups of the study, which amounted to (48) female students. It was found that there were statistically significant differences between the average scores of the female students in the experimental and control groups in the post-application of the achievement test, in the direction of the experimental group, with a large effect size. The results of the study also revealed the presence of statistically significant differences between the averages of students in the experimental and control groups in the post-application of the academic achievement motivation scale, in the direction of the experimental group, but with a small effect size. Based on the results, the study recommended moving from traditional teaching methods to using active learning strategies, in particular the effective reading strategy (SQ3R). Such strategy had a significant impact on improving achievement. It also intensified training courses in the skills of using modern teaching strategies for faculty members, as well as for students, and focused on strategies that would improve students’ academic achievement motivation.Keywords: effective reading (SQ3R), achievement, motivation, academic achievement, active learning
