تهدف هذه الدراسة إلى معرفة فاعلية إستراتيجية مقترحة قائمة على نظرية الخرائط المفاهيمية لدى طالبات المرحلة الثانوية بمدرسة السلام الثانوية للبنات بالقاهرة. وتكوّنت عينة الدراسة من 60 طالبة تم تقسيمهنّ إلى: 30 طالبة في المجموعة التجريبية، و30 طالبة في المجموعة الضابطة. وتكوّنت أدوات البحث من قائمة بمهارات الفهم القرائي واختبار قبلي- بعدي لقياس مهارات الفهم القرائي. وتم التأكد من صدق وثبات الأدوات من خلال عرضها على مجموعة من المحكّمين. وقد أثبتت الدراسة فاعلية الإستراتيجية المقترحة في تنمية مهارات الفهم القرائي لدى الطالبات. وقد خلصت الدراسة في ضوء هذه النتائج إلى مجموعة من التوصيات والاقتراحات للبحوث المستقبلية. (الملخص المنشور)
The present study aimed at investigating the effects of a suggested strategy “Scaffolding” which was based on Schema theory on developing reading comprehension skills for first year secondary school students. To realize this aim, a quasi-experimental research study was carried out in a suburban school in Cairo, Egypt. The researcher used a checklist to determine the suitable reading comprehension skills for first grade secondary students and an achievement pre-post reading comprehension test to identify their actual performance before and after applying the strategy. The sample of the study consisted of 60 students divided into two classes. One class represented the experimental group using the suggested strategy, and the other class represented the control group using the same units through the steps suggested by the Ministry of Education in “Hello 4” teacher's guide for Secondary School Students. Results showed that there were statistically significant differences between the mean scores of the experimental group students and those of the control group on the post administration of the reading comprehension test in favor of the experimental group students. In addition there were statistically significant differences between the mean scores of the pre and post of the reading comprehension test of the experimental group students in favor of the post test.
