The aim of this research is to evaluate the effects of a suggested strategy on the understanding of grammatical concepts in Kurdish grammar among eighth-grade elementary students, as well as their perceptions of the subject. To achieve this aim, an experimental design was employed that included both experimental and control groups. The research sample comprised 42 students. Following the alignment of variables (previous year's Kurdish language subject grade, age, intelligence level, prior knowledge, and parental education level), participants were randomly assigned to two groups: an experimental group comprising 21 students instructed using the proposed strategy, and a control group of 21 students taught via traditional methods. The researcher subsequently developed a test for the acquisition of grammatical concepts comprising 25 multiple-choice items based on a specification table, and also created an attitude scale for the reading subject consisting of 35 items. The instruments were submitted to a panel of experts for validation. All test and attitude scale items received approval. To evaluate the reliability of the instruments, the (Test Re-Test) method was employed on a cohort of 88 students at the same academic level, conducted at two distinct intervals. The reliability coefficient for each measure exceeded 0.72. The research employed the following statistical tools: t-Test, Pearson correlation coefficient, Eta-square, Cohen's (d) for effect size, and Chi-square (χ²). The study concluded that a statistically significant difference exists between the experimental and control groups, with the experimental group providing better outcomes in acquiring grammatical concepts and a more positive attitude toward the subject.

The aim of the research is to identify the effectiveness of the Jigsaw style in achieving third-grade students in the Kurdish Language and Literature department in a Syntax subject. The researcher adopted the experimental design of equal groups with a post-test. The research community included third grade students / Department of Kurdish Language and Literature / College of Basic Education - Akre at the University of Duhok for the academic year (2023-2024), amounting to (82) male and female students, divided into two groups (a) and (b) randomly. Where the (42) students of the experimental group (A) were studied according to the Jigsaw style, and the students of the control group (B), the number of (40) students, were studied according to the usual method used. The researcher prepared an achievement test that included (30) items and extracted its psychometric characteristics. And after the completion of the experiment, which lasted a full semester, the researcher applied the tool, extracted the data, and conducted the statistical treatment using the (t.test) with it. The results showed that the Jigsaw Style had a significant impact on the achievement among the students of the experimental group, compared to their peers in the control group.

This research has aimed at (the effectiveness of the advanced organizations strategy in the cognitive preference of second-stage students, the Department of Social Sciences in the subject of History and Islamic Civilization). To achieve the goal of the research, the researcher chose the experimental design with partial control on a random sample consisting of (30) students, with (15) students in the experimental group and (15) students in the control group. The two groups were rewarded in the variables of chronological age, intelligence, and history subject scores for the previous stage). The researcher selected the scientific subject that he studied and prepared a test for it, cognitive preference and daily teaching plans for the topics chosen by the researcher in the history of Islamic civilization. The two groups were studied for ten weeks, and after the completion of the teaching, the cognitive preference test was conducted for the students of the research sample. The results indicated that there were statistically significant differences between the average scores of students who studied the history of Islamic civilization using the advanced organizations strategy compared to the usual method in favor of the experimental group in three patterns of the cognitive preference test, except for the superiority of the control group in one pattern (critical questioning). In light of the results of the research, the researcher recommended using the advanced organizations strategy in teaching history and suggested conducting a similar research in other disciplines.
