The Impact of Digital Environment vs. Traditional Method on Literacy Skills; Reading and Writing of Emirati Fourth Graders

Abstract

This study aimed to determine the extent to which fourth-grade students in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) are able to develop their reading comprehension and creative writing abilities. The study used a quasi-experimental approach to achieve the study objectives, and the sample included (120) male and female students, who were divided equally into two groups: a control group and an experimental group. As a result of the differences observed between the tribal and remote measurements, favoring the dimensional measurements of the experimental group, the results of the study indicated that the use of digital learning platforms (Times, platform LMS, Nahla and Nahil) led to an improvement in the students’ levels of achievement in reading and writing. The results showed statistically significant differences in the students’ performance in literacy skills, reading and writing, between students learning via digital environment and those learning using traditional methods, with these differences favoring the digital environment. It is recommended that students’ needs and learning styles be met by shifting towards a digital environment, but gradually and cautiously.

Collaborative mind mapping in RICOSRE learning model to improve students’ information literacy

“…It improves students' ability to find information and increases their information literacy. Reading skills cannot be adequately trained in conventional classes that are geared toward lecturer-centered activities [30].…”

“…This can happen because students only act as recipients of information through lectures. Traditional learning methods failed to provide college students with the experience of organizing information and solving contextual problems [30]. Even in some university courses, professors are more likely to teach broad academic content but ignore the process by which students achieve learning objectives.…”

What Factors Contribute to Reading in ADHD: Examining Reading-Related Skills in Children With ADHD Only/Comorbid Developmental Dyslexia

“…In the elementary school years, children’s reading abilities significantly advance until the third grade and then stabilize after that (Arnesen et al, 2017). Many studies have focused on reading ability from the fourth grade onward due to distinctive patterns of reading acquisition prior to this stage (Alneyadi et al, 2023; Kim et al, 2021). In the present study, we divided the participants into two age groups based on grade level: the younger group (first–third grade) and the older group (fourth–sixth grade).…”

The Mediating Role of Social Media on the Correlation of Parental conflict and academic Performance of University Students

“…Academic achievement is not only about the student's capacity to learn, store and apply knowledge, skills, and expertise to their particular field, but also about how they handle their academic assignments, such as grades and tests that they take, all the way to their graduation. The students' academic success in a certain sense is an indicator of how big of an impact their learning choices have on their future prospects, and it can greatly influence the students' social, professional, and educational opportunities in the future (Alneyadi et al, 2023).…”
