Question Circle Strategy, Historical Concepts, Fifth Grade LiteratureAbstract
The current research aims to identify the effectiveness of teaching the question circle strategy in acquiring historical concepts among fifth-grade female students. The sample consisted of (60) female students from the fifth-grade literary stream. To achieve the research objective, the researcher prepared a test of (60) multiple-choice items, distributed over (20) concepts in the historical subject, at three levels (defining the concept, distinguishing the concept, applying the concept). The researchers verified its validity and reliability. After applying the test to the research sample members, collecting the data, and analyzing it statistically using Pearson's correlation coefficient and the t-test for two independent samples, the researcher reached the following results:
- The experimental group taught using the question circle strategy outperformed the control group taught using the traditional method in Historical Concepts Acquisition Test.
- The question circle strategy proved effective in acquiring historical concepts for fifth-grade literary students compared to the traditional method.
