Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of the circle discussion strategy in developing social skills among seventh-grade basic students. An experimental design was employed with 57 female students divided into experimental (n=32) and control (n=25) groups. The experimental group was taught using the circle discussion strategy while the control group received traditional instruction. Data was collected using a social skills assessment measuring six key dimensions: cooperation and group work, communication, empathy and acceptance of others, school-home social skills, decision-making, and problem-solving. The experiment was conducted during the first semester of the 2024-2025 academic year in Zakho, Kurdistan Region, Iraq. Findings revealed statistically significant differences between the experimental and control groups in favor of the circle discussion strategy group. Analysis showed a large effect size (η²=0.496), confirming the strategy's substantial impact on developing students' social skills. The results suggest that structured circle discussion activities provide valuable opportunities for students to practice social skills in authentic contexts, reinforcing the importance of implementing interactive pedagogical approaches in middle school classrooms.

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of the Circle Discussion strategy in acquiring historical concepts among seventh-grade basic students. The researchers adopted an experimental approach with a two-group design (experimental and control groups). The study sample consisted of 57 seventh-grade female students from Soz Elementary School, distributed into two groups: the experimental group (32 students) who studied using the Circle Discussion strategy, and the control group (25 students) who studied using the conventional method. A historical concepts acquisition test consisting of 36 items was developed, distributed across three levels (definition, discrimination, and application). The results showed a statistically significant difference at the 0.05 level between the mean scores of the two groups in favor of the experimental group, where the experimental group's mean was (28.06) compared to (24.12) for the control group. The effect size calculation using eta squared showed a value of (0.206), indicating a very large effect of the strategy. The study concluded that the Circle Discussion strategy is effective in improving the acquisition of historical concepts among students.
