Abstract

This study aimed at investigating the effectiveness of a proposed instructional model based on metacognitive strategies in developing rhetorical and critical skills among third grade secondary female students. To achieve the study aim, the researcher prepared a list of rhetorical and critical skills required for third grade secondary female students and a test to measure these skills among them. The researcher also prepared teacher's and student's guides. The study sample consisted of (58) female students divided into two groups: experimental group (N= 27) and the control group (N=31).

The results of the study showed that: there were statistically significant differences at (α≤ 0.05) between the mean scores of the study groups in the post measurement of the rhetorical skills associated with the skills of the eloquence, figures of speech, and semantics, and the overall rhetorical skills in favor of the experimental group. There were also statistically significant differences at (α≤ 0.05) between the mean scores of the study groups in the post measurement of the critical skills related to inference and discrimination, balancing and comparison, evaluation and judgment skills and the overall critical skills test in favor of the experimental group.

The results also showed that there was a high effect of using the proposed instructional model in developing rhetorical skills (eloquence, figures of speech, and semantics). The effect size was (0.84). In addition, there was a high effect of using the proposed instructional model in developing critical skills (inference and discrimination, balancing and comparison, evaluation and judgment). The effect size was (0.87).

In the light of these results, the study presented some recommendations and suggestions to develop teaching rhetoric and criticism in the light of a group of rhetorical and critical skills and metacognitive strategies.
