Abstract

This study aimed at identifying the effectiveness of using a phonological awareness-based instructional program in developing the phonetic sequential-memorization skill among students with learning disabilities in the Aseer region. The study sample consisted of forty students from the third, fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh grades, selected from schools in the Directorate of Education in the Aseer region. The sample was diagnosed by the special education teacher as having learning disabilities. The study used the quasi-experimental methodology and divided the sample into an experimental group and a control group. After applying the instructional program, the results showed that the experimental group outperformed the control group in acquiring the phonetic sequential-memorization skill. The results showed no statistically significant differences in the phonetic sequential-memorization skill due to the difference of grade. It is concluded that the instructional program has a continuing effect in developing the phonetic sequential-memorization skill among students with learning disabilities in the Aseer region.

Abstract

This study aimed at identifying the effectiveness of a training program based on Erikson's theory in developing independence skills among students with learning disabilities in Jordan. The study population consisted of students with learning disabilities enrolled in resource rooms in public basic schools in Mafraq city for the academic year 2007/2008. The study sample consisted of sixty male and female students from the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth grades in the schools of Mafraq city, who were diagnosed by the resource room teacher as students with LDs. The sample was divided equally into two experimental and control groups. To achieve the objectives of the study, a collective training program was built, and the program included various activities and events carried out by the researcher and the resource room teacher in different ways and methods. The results of the study showed that there were statistically significant differences at (α < 0.05)) in the independence skills between the mean scores of the experimental and control groups on the post-test, and the difference was in favor of the experimental group. The results also showed no statistically significant differences at (α < 0.05)) in independence skills due to the interaction between gender and group variables on the post-test. There are statistically significant differences at (α < 0.05)) in the independence skills between the experimental and control group on the follow-up test, and the differences were in favor of the experimental group. The results were discussed in the light of the theoretical framework of the study and the results of previous studies and research in the field, then a set of educational recommendations and proposed studies were presented.AbstrakPenelitian ini mengidentifikasi efektivitas program pelatihan berdasarkan teori Erikson dalam mengembangkan keterampilan kemandirian di kalangan siswa dengan keterbatasan belajar di Yordania. Populasi terdiri dari siswa berkesulitan belajar yang terdaftar di sekolah dasar umum di kota Mafraq untuk tahun ajaran 2007/2008. Sampel terdiri dari enam puluh siswa laki-laki dan perempuan dari kelas tiga, empat, lima, dan enam yang didiagnosis oleh guru sebagai siswa dengan LDs. Sampel dibagi rata menjadi dua kelompok: eksperimen dan kontrol. Untuk mencapai tujuan penelitian, dibangun program pelatihan kolektif. Program tersebut mencakup berbagai kegiatan dan acara yang dilakukan oleh peneliti dan guru dengan cara dan metode yang berbeda. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa ada perbedaan yang signifikan secara statistik pada (α < 0,05) dalam keterampilan kemandirian antara nilai rata-rata kelompok eksperimen dan kelompok kontrol pada post-test, dan perbedaan itu menguntungkan kelompok eksperimen. Hasil juga menunjukkan tidak ada perbedaan yang signifikan secara statistik pada (α <0,05) dalam keterampilan kemandirian karena interaksi antara variabel gender dan kelompok pada post-test. Ada perbedaan yang signifikan secara statistik pada (α <0,05) dalam keterampilan kemandirian antara kelompok eksperimen dan kelompok kontrol pada tes tindak lanjut, dan perbedaan itu mendukung kelompok eksperimen. Hasilnya dibahas dalam kerangka teoritis studi, hasil studi sebelumnya, dan penelitian di lapangan, kemudian serangkaian rekomendasi pendidikan dan studi yang diusulkan disajikan.

Abstract

This study explored the effect of developing reading comprehension among English language students with learning disabilities using the reading speed strategy, identifying the effect of both gender, and teaching method on developing reading comprehension. To achieve the aim of the study, a test was prepared to measure reading comprehension after ensuring its validity and reliability. The study population consisted of all (200) students studying English language in the schools of the Directorate of Education for the Second Irbid Region for the second semester of the academic year 2020/2021. The study was applied to a sample of (80) male and female students, who were selected in the simple method. The participants were distributed into two experimental groups, which received the training, and another two control groups, which studied the same educational material in the traditional method. The test was applied to the study groups before starting the implementation of the study to ensure the equality of groups. The results showed clear differences in the mean scores of the experimental group students and those of the control group students, and in favor of the experimental group. The results also showed that there were no differences between the mean scores of the students' scores attributed to gender.

Abstract

Academic engagement is vital to students’ academic success, especially in higher education settings where motivation and support systems vary widely. This study investigated the influence of social support and academic self-efficacy on academic engagement among undergraduates of Nnamdi Azikiwe University. The main objectives were to determine the extent to which parental and peer support and students’ belief in their academic abilities correlate with their level of academic engagement. A correlational research design was used to guide the study. From a total population of about 20,000 undergraduate students enrolled in the 2023/2024 academic session, a sample of 403 students was randomly selected using a simple random sampling technique to ensure equal representation. Data were collected using three standardized instruments: the social support questionnaire (SSQ), the academic self-efficacy questionnaire (ASEQ), and the academic engagement questionnaire (AEQ). The data were analyzed using SPSS software. Pearson’s product-moment correlation and multiple regression analysis were used to test the research questions and hypotheses. Findings showed significant positive relationships between social support (both parental and peer), academic self-efficacy, and students’ academic engagement. These results highlight the importance of fostering supportive learning environments and building students’ confidence in their academic abilities. Practical implications suggest that universities should implement structured peer mentoring, parental involvement strategies, and workshops that enhance academic self-efficacy to improve student engagement and academic outcomes.
