This study aimed to answer the questions related to the effect of using self-regulated jigsaw task as a technique to improve the students’ performance in the course of curriculum reading in English, and to find out the learners’ perceptions of using jigsaw task in their learning. This study is important since jigsaw task could help learners to become autonomous learners as well as to promote cooperation between learners. The study sample consisted of 40 (two classes) female students studying the course of curriculum reading in English in the Master’s Program of curriculum and instructions at Umm Al-Qura University. The classes were allocated to the experimental group (n=21 students), which was taught using self-regulated jigsaw task, and the control group (n=19 students), which was taught using traditional tasks. Pre-and post-tests have been conducted to find out the statistical differences. Further, an open-ended questionnaire was given to the participants in the experimental group (n=21 students) to find out more about their perception of using the jigsaw technique in the learning process. Wilcoxon Signed Rank test was used as a statistical procedure to analyze the participants’ scores on the post-test, and the Greenhouse-Geisser test was applied to investigate the differences between groups. The results of the study showed that the difference in performance between students taught using self-regulated jigsaw task and those taught using traditional tasks was statistically significant. Further, the participants in the experimental group perceived that using the jigsaw task had a positive effect on the learning process, enhanced their relations with other learners, and increased their motivation in learning. It is hoped that this study could encourage university instructors to design and implement jigsaw tasks into different courses in higher education.

This study aimed to measure the effectiveness of a proposed program in developing practices and modifying beliefs of practitioner teachers about the flipped classroom. To this end, the author followed a true experimental design, wherein the experimental group received training through the proposed program, whereas the control group received none, and after the treatment the participants were invited to run a posttest. A total of 50 female students were selected randomly from the Department of Islamic Studies, Prince Sattam Bin Abdulaziz University. To measure the post-performance of the two groups, the author used an observation card and a scale of beliefs on the flipped classroom. The findings of the study revealed (a) statistically significant differences between the mean scores of the two groups on the observation card in favor of the experimental group, indicating a strong effect of the proposed program on developing the teachers’ practices of the flipped classroom; (b) statistically significant differences between the mean scores of two groups on the scale of belief in favor of the experimental group, indicating a strong effect of the proposed program on modifying teachers’ beliefs about the flipped class; and (c) a positive statistical correlation at .05 between the teachers’ practices and beliefs about the flipped classroom.

An experiment was conducted with 42 third grade children from a parochial school system in a large metropolitan area. 21 classmates whose teacher served as the speaker for this experiment comprised the experimental group. A matched group of 21 classmates from another third grade classroom formed the control group. Each subject individually listened to a 940-word narrative passage that had been compressed at a rate of 45% or 275 words per minute. 10 questions about the material presented in the final three-fourths of the passage were asked of the subjects. The difference between the mean number of correct responses produced by the experimental group (5.5) and the control group (4.9) was not statistically significant. The results indicate that familiarity with the speaker does not facilitate 8-yr.-olds' comprehension of time-compressed speech.

This study aims to identify the effectiveness of the flipped classroom strategy in developing the skills of reciting the Holy Qur’an, and the attitude towards the strategy among first grade intermediate school female students. The research sample was a random sample of 48 intermediate female students divided into two 24-student groups: a control group and an experimental group. To collect data according to the quasi-experimental design method, a note card was designed to measure recitation skills of the Qur’an, and a scale developed to record attitude towards the flipped classroom strategy. The note card was applied to the research sample. The results revealed a statistically significant difference (α ≤ 0.05) in favor of the experimental group between the average scores of the two groups in the post application of the note card. The results also showed a statistically significant difference between the average scores of the experimental group (α ≤ 0.05) in the post application of the attitude scale towards the flipped classroom strategy. Lastly, the results showed a statistically significant correlation between the skills of reciting the Holy Qur’an and the attitude towards the flipped classroom strategy among first grade intermediate female students. Based on these results, we present a number of recommendations and suggestions, including expanding the application of the flipped classroom strategy to other age groups and different courses.

This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of reciprocal teaching (RT) in improving high school female students’ attitudes toward reading in a second language as the results might shed light on effective teaching practices in the L2 classrooms. To this end, a self-report questionnaire was developed and validated by the researcher. A quasi-experimental design was used, whereby the study sample was divided into two groups, experimental and control. The experimental group was taught reading in English classes by means of RT strategies, whereas the matched control group was taught reading by means of traditional instructive techniques. Both groups completed the self-report questionnaire on reading skills and motivation during term time, ensuring that the participants in the experimental group completed the questionnaire within ten weeks of the intervention. The findings show significant correlations between RT strategies and both reading comprehension and motivation to read, and are also effective in improving students’ perception of their reading skills and motivation to read. Accordingly, the study recommends other researchers to investigate the effect of RT on students' performance and considering implementing RT with the use of technology in English as foreign language (EFL) classrooms.
