Abstract

This study investigated the effect of cognitive apprenticeship strategy on developing historical thinking skills among eighth-grade students using an experimental design with two equivalent groups. The sample consisted of eighth-grade female students from basic education schools in Zakho during the academic year 2024-2025, randomly assigned to experimental and control groups. The experimental group received instruction based on cognitive apprenticeship strategy while the control group used traditional teaching methods. A historical thinking skills test was developed and validated, encompassing five main skills: chronological and spatial sequencing, historical understanding, thinking about historical evidence, understanding change and continuity, and analyzing historical issues and decision-making. Results revealed statistically significant differences between groups favoring the experimental group, with further analysis showing significant improvement in all historical thinking skills from pre to post-test. Effect size calculations demonstrated that cognitive apprenticeship had a substantial impact on developing students' historical thinking skills. The study recommends incorporating historical thinking skills in social studies curricula and encouraging teachers to implement cognitive apprenticeship strategies.

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the effect of teaching historical topics using cognitive apprenticeship strategy on the academic achievement of eighth grade basic female students. The researchers adopted an experimental methodology with a post-test equivalent groups design. The research sample consisted of (60) female students from Dimen Girls' School affiliated with Zakho Education Directorate, randomly distributed into two groups: experimental group (30) students who studied historical topics using cognitive apprenticeship strategy, and control group (30) students who studied the same topics using conventional method. An achievement test in historical topics consisting of (20) multiple-choice items was prepared, and its validity and reliability were verified. The teaching of historical topics using the specified strategy was implemented during the first semester of the academic year (2024-2025) for nine weeks. The results showed that teaching historical topics using cognitive apprenticeship strategy achieved a statistically significant difference at the level (0.05) in favor of the experimental group in achievement, where the calculated t-value reached (3.166) and the effect size (0.147), indicating a large effect of teaching historical topics using this strategy. The researchers recommend adopting cognitive apprenticeship strategy in teaching historical topics and training history teachers on its implementation.
