Abstract

Abstract:
Reading and writing are basic and very important skills in all educational systems. The present study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of teaching writing using electronic multimedia in dictation of first grade elementary school students. The research method was a semi-experimental pre-test-post-test design with experimental and control groups. Two schools were selected from among the first grade students of Sarbisheh city, South Khorasan province using convenience sampling method. And 32 people (16 in the experimental group and 16 in the control group) were randomly assigned to two experimental and control groups. Initially, a pre-test was taken from both groups, and after implementing multimedia content in the experimental group, a post-test was taken for both groups. The data were analyzed using multivariate analysis of variance. The results showed that 1) there was a significant difference between the dictation performance scores of the experimental group and the control group (p<0.001, F=13.133); 2) there was a significant difference between the dictation accuracy scores of the experimental group and the control group (p<0.001, F=12.360); 3) there was no significant difference between the dictation speed scores of the experimental group and the control group (p<0.05, F=4.093). ). Therefore, it can be concluded that teaching writing through electronic multimedia methods has very positive effects on the performance and accuracy of dictation of first grade elementary school students compared to conventional teaching. Therefore, it is recommended that education authorities consider and use this in designing and developing the curriculum and the method that is used..
