The Impact of Self-Questioning Strategy (K.W.L) Learning on the Development of Motivation Towards Learning and the Acquisition of Scientific Concepts in the Basic Tenth Grade Computer Research in the Southern al-Mazar District

Abstract

The current study aimed to reveal the impact of self-questioning strategy learning (K.W.L) in the development of motivation towards learning and acquisition of scientific concepts in the basic tenth grade computer research in the Southern al-Mazar District. To achieve the objective of the study, the semi-experimental curriculum was used. The study sample consisted of (81) students who were chosen intentionally from basic tenth grade students, one of which was randomly identified as a control group. (40) students, and the other experimental (41) students studied by the self-questioning strategy (L.W.L), where the teaching material was built according to the self-questioning strategy, and a test was used to gain concepts and measure motivation towards computer learning, their psychometric properties were verified. The study found statistically significant differences at an indicative level (α≤0.05) Between the averages of the two pilot groups' scores and the control of the dimensional measurement of the conceptual acquisition test and the impulse scale towards computer learning, where the value was reached Calculated (-5.738), indicating an impact of the self-questioning strategy (K.W.L) in the acquisition of scientific concepts in the computer research of basic tenth grade students and the development of their motivation towards computer learning. The study came up with the following recommendations, inviting computer supervisors to focus on teachers' interest in using modern and diverse methods and strategies when evaluating teachers, and holding in-service training workshops for computer educators on a self-questioning strategy (KWL) to be used in the acquisition of scientific concepts and student motivation development, and to conduct a similar study on the impact of learning using the self-questioning strategy (KWL) in correcting alternative perceptions of scientific concepts and developing critical thinking.
