Abstract:
The current research aims at identifying the effectiveness of the feedback of e-learning environment in developing both the motivation and the deep learning among the female intermediate stage learners relating the syllabus of Arabic language in the State of Kuwait. The development research was used to design a semi-trial design for an experimental group and controlling group, each group consists of 23 students. A list of e-learning environment criteria has been derived. An independent substitute of the research also has been designed and it is the feedback of the e-learning environment’s peers according to the general model of the educational design ADDIE (analyze, design, develop, implement, and evaluate), in addition to preparing the tools of the research which are the measurement of motivation towards both the syllabus of Arabic language and the deep learning measurement. The deep learning measurement has been measured by the deep learning criteria in addition to two achievement tests. The first one was to measure the skills of dictation while the second one was to measure the skills of composition. Two achievement tests were also added to them. The first one was to measure the students’ achievement in the skills of dictation and composition. Much data was gathered applying all tools in both a pre- and post-manner on the two groups: the experimental and the controlling. The statistical analysis was conducted using the convenient methods to choose the 16 requirements. The results have come out with an indicating statistical difference at the level of ( a= 0.05) among the average of the two groups in motivation measurement. There are also some indicating differences of ( a= 0.05) between the average of the two groups in the deep learning measurement. Furthermore, some indicating differences were found in the average of the two groups relating the achievement test of the dictation skills. There were also some indicating statistical differences ( a= 0.05) between the average of both groups regarding the skills of writing a composition. The research also included the figures, timetables, references, the list of recommendations and research assumptions.
