Abstract

Abstract:

 The research aims to identify the impact of the strategy of the roving reporter on positive thinking among students of the College of Basic Education / Department of Science in the subject of practical algae and fungi.

To achieve the goal of the research, the following two null hypotheses were developed:

  1. There is no statistically significant difference at the level of (0.05) between the average grades of the experimental group students who studied according to the strategy of the traveling reporter and the average grades of the control group who studied according to the usual method in the positive thinking scale.

 In order to achieve the goal of the research and its two hypotheses, the researcher has adopted the experimental design with two groups of experimental and control, one of them partially control the other and of  post-test to measure positive thinking. 

      The current research community consists of  third stage students  / the Science Department / Biology Sciences Branch of the college  of Basic Education in Iraq for the academic year (2020-2021).  The researcher  has choses the third stage students of the Science Department / Biology Sciences Branch in the College of Basic Education / Al-Mustansiriya University as an intentional sample, as the number of its members reached (84) students distributed between two  study halls   (A, B).  The researcher has chosen a representative sample of the research community, which numbered (56) male and female students, and by random assignment, the first group has been called an experimental consisting of (28) male and female  students, and the other was the control group consisting of (28) female and male students, and the two groups have been equalized  in the variables (the academic achievement of the parents, the previous information test, the microbiology subject, the scores of the microbiology for the second semester of the previous year, the intelligence test (Rafn), and the positive pre-thinking scale). The researcher has prepared the positive thinking scale consisting of (45) items and presented to a group of arbitrators and experts to know  its validity and suitability for the third stage students.  The validity of the tool was verified by presenting them to a group of experts, the researcher has  applied the scale to two survey samples, one of them to find out the clarity of the paragraphs and the response time and the other to know the analysis of the scale's paragraphs statistically to extract the correlation coefficient and discriminatory power, as well as extracting the stability for the positive thinking scale.

      The researcher  has applied the research tool to the two research groups (experimental and control) after the expiry of the experiment, which lasted for eleven weeks, as it began on Monday (7.12.2021) and ended on Wednesday (15.2.2021).  The researcher has  used the following statistical methods: ( T- test for two independent samples, the Chi Square (Ka), the Pearson correlation coefficient with the Alpha - Kronbach equation, Levene’s test equation) . After analyzing the data and treating it statistically, the researcher has  reached the following results:

  1. Students of the experimental group who studied according to the strategy of the correspondent outperformed  the control group students who studied according to the usual method in the positive thinking scale, as it reached (t) computed (15.42),  which  is larger than the value  (t)  scheduled ( 2.000)  at the level of significance (0.05). 

     Thus, the researcher has concluded that teaching with the strategy of the roving reporter   has a positive effect on students 'thinking, and in light of this the researcher has presented a number of recommendations and proposals related to the results of the research, including conducting studies aimed at assessing the level of students' practice of positive thinking skills in different school subjects and educational stages.
