Text Genre

This project examined the effects of text genre on both situational and individual interest. Middle school students completed a three-session web-based learning module in the domain of ecology wherein they were randomly assigned to either narrative or expository readings that were matched on key idea units and other variables. Students reported individual interest in ecology on the day before and after their exposure to the module. Affective and cognitive situational interest was measured after the readings on each day of the module. The results showed that expository readings were perceived as more helpful for learning than were narrative readings, but this varied somewhat by initial individual interest. Although the narrative versions did not facilitate situational interest, there was a small effect on individual interest suggesting that learners exposed to narrative readings came to perceive the domain of ecology as a more meaningful discipline than did those exposed to expository readings.

This study aimed to identify the impact of web applications (2.0) in developing the skills of criticism and artistic taste among middle school students in Al-Baha region, as well as to identify the interactive environment needed for web applications (2.0) to develop these skills. Development of those skills. The researcher used the descriptive approach and the experimental approach to achieve the objectives of the study as follows: The descriptive approach in constructing the questionnaire of criticism and technical taste skills, and the questionnaire of building the interactive environment for web applications (2.0). The researcher used the experimental approach in measuring the impact of the web in developing the skills of criticism and taste Technical. The study sample consisted of (40) middle school students in Al-Baha area in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Divided into two groups, one experimental (20) students, and the other officer (20) students. The experimental group was exposed to web applications (2.0), while the control group did not receive any application on the web. It was taught in the traditional way. The test was used to measure the significance of the differences between the two study groups. Of the application; and whether that significance is large, medium or small ?.
