Abstract :

Because of the importance of learning, People have always been trying to find the factors affecting learning. The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of teaching the strategies of learning and reading on the level of learning and retention of Physics course among the first grade students in high school. 44 students, by applying a quasi-experimental design and cluster random sampling were divided into the experimental and the control groups. The statistical population included all the girl students in first grade of high school in Gomishan city. Initially both groups answered the questions of a teacher-made achievement test (pre-test). there was no significant difference between two groups. Then, the experimental group received 10 educational sessions about the learning and reading strategies. At the end of the teaching period, a post- test was performed for two groups. After three weeks, both groups answered the retention test questions. Data, then, were analyzed using analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) and t-test was analyzed, too. The results indicated that teaching learning and reading strategies can enhance the learning and retention of physics in the experimental group.
