The Role of Cubing Strategy on EFL Iraqi Preparatory Pupils' Achievement

This learning strategy enhances deep thinking, and it can be used as a brainstorming tool to generate ideas and explore different aspects of a topic. The current study aim is Identifying the role of Cubing Strategy on EFL Iraqi preparatory pupils’ achievement. The study hypothesizes that; there is no statistically significant difference between the achievement of the experimental group who has been taught by Cubing Strategy and Control Group who has been taught by conventional method in achievement in post-test... To achieve the aims and verify the hypotheses, Non-Randomized Control Group pretest -posttest have been chosen. The pupils have been taught during the academic year 2023-2024. The sample consists of (72) pupils who are derived from Al-Mustinsrya preparatory School for Girls in Tikrit, the fourth grade, the scientific branch. The sample has been divided into two groups Group (A) represents the experimental group who consists of (36) pupils who have been taught using Cubing Strategy. Group (B) represents the Control Group which consists of (36) pupils who have been taught using the conventional method. Both groups have been equalized in such variables as the educational level of parents, and the pretest of both groups. A unified posttest which contains five questions are constructed to collect data. Face and content validity have been attained. Reliability coefficient has been verified and the researcher herself teaches both groups. According to the results, the difference between the mean scores of both groups is rejected. Moreover, Cubing Strategy guides pupils in the experimental group to better achievement at the posttest.
