The Impact of Using Numbered Heads Strategy on Developing Creative Comprehension Skills of Reading among Grade Eighth Students

Abstract

This research aimed to investigate the influence of the numbered heads technique on improving creative reading comprehension abilities in 8th-grade female students in Jordan. The research utilized a quasi-experimental approach and included a specimen of 84 pupils randomly chosen from Al-Andalus School, part of the Education Directorate of Irbid Governorate, throughout the 1st academic year (2022-2023) semester. The study tool was a test assessing creative reading comprehension abilities. The findings indicated statistically significant variations at the α=0.05 level between the post-test mean summations of the experimental set, which utilized the numbered heads technique, and the controlling set, which employed traditional techniques. The experimental set surpassed the controlling set. In light of these findings, the research advocated for the use of the numbered heads technique in Arabic language
instruction.
