أثر برنامج تدريبي يستند إلى بعض استراتيجيات التذكر في تنمية أداء الذاكرة العاملة لدى عينة من طلبة الصف السادس الأساسي
This study aims at revealing the effect of a training program - based on some memory strategies- on the development of performance of the working memory. To achieve the aim of the study, the researcher develops a computerized program and a computerized test of working memory. The study sample consists of (80) male and female students, half of whom are male and half female, aged (11 - 12) years of basic sixth grade students through second semester of the year 2013-2014. One group forms the control group and the other experimental group. Each group included an equal number of males and females. The experimental group receives the training program, while the control group receives no training. Results of the study show difference in student’s performance on the post working memory test as a whole. All components and reaction time, attributed to treatment variable, are in favor to experimental group. The results show that there is a difference in student performance in working memory test to post measure as a whole as well as in components and reaction time, attributed to treatment variable, are in favor to experimental group. It shows there is no effect for gender variable, and the interaction of the two variables (treatment and gender) on the post working memory test as a whole, components and reaction time. There were no differences in student performance on working memory test to post measure as a whole and reaction time, attributed to gender variable, and the interaction of the two variables (treatment and gender).
