Abstract/Hauptbeschreibung (Englisch)

This research aims to identify the effect of the focused lists strategy in acquiring of biological concepts among second – grade female intermediate students. To achieve this aim, two null hypotheses were developed as follows: There is no statistically significant difference at the level of (0.05) between the mean scores of the experimental group Students who study biology according to the focused lists Strategy , and the mean scores of the control group students who study biology according to the usual method in the acquisition of biological concepts test. The researcher followed an experimental design with partial control, and the research population was represented from all middle and secondary government day schools for girls affiliated with the General Directorate of Education of Diyala Governorate / Baqubah Center for the academic year (2023-2024), and the middle school (moderation) for girls was intentionally chosen as a sample for the research from among the community schools. The number of its students reached (49) students distributed into two sections (A and B), with (25) students in Section (A) and (24) students in Section (B). Section (A) was chosen to represent the experimental group, and Section (B) ) to represent the control group.. The researcher equalized participants between the two research groups based on variables (age counted in months, the Raven intelligence test, average third grades, test previous information ). The researcher rewarded the two research groups in variables (the chronological age of the female students calculated in months, the Raven intelligence test, the previous year’s grades, the previous information test). The experiment was conducted in the first semester of the academic year (2023-2024) and continued (10) weeks, as the researcher formulated (135) behavioral objectives, prepared (30) teaching plans and presented them to the arbitrators, and two research tools were prepared: the first was the biological concepts acquisition test, which consisted of (39) items.The data were processed statistically, and the results showed that the students of the experimental group who were taught using the focused lists strategy outperformed the students of the control group who were taught in the traditional way in the acquisition of biological concepts test. Accordingly, the researcher made a number of conclusions, recommendations and suggestions.
