Main description (English)

The current research aims to identify "the effect of utilizing the ‎dialogue method on the achievement of preparatory school female ‎students in the subject of literature and texts." The researcher ‎adopted the experimental approach as it is the most suitable for ‎the current research procedures. The research population ‎consisted of all fourth-year scientific female students in ‎preparatory schools in Baqubah, Diyala Governorate. The sample ‎was purposefully selected from "Um Habiba Girls' Preparatory ‎School" in Baqubah (Al-Mafraq neighborhood), consisting of 71 ‎students—35 in the experimental group and 36 in the control ‎group. To achieve the research objective, the researcher prepared ‎a post-achievement test in Arabic language (literature), consisting ‎of 30 multiple-choice questions. The researcher used statistical ‎methods to analyze the results through the SPSS program version ‎‎21, applying the following formulas: T-test for two independent ‎samples, Chi-square, Pearson correlation coefficient, Spearman-‎Brown equation, item difficulty formula, discriminative power, ‎and effectiveness of alternatives. The main result of the current ‎research is that the students in the experimental group who studied ‎literature and texts using the dialogue method outperformed the ‎control group, who studied the same material using the traditional ‎method, in the post-achievement test.‎
