Abstract :

Abstract: The aim of this study was to investigate the "morphic field", using language skill as a sample of various skills which people try to learn. The research method was casual-comparative. Three hundred female and male students from Islamic Azad University, South Tehran branch have been selected by cluster sampling method. They were all studying in humanities except foreign languages. By using Power point software twenty correct and twenty incorrect Swahili pair words slides displayed for them about 10 seconds. Participants selected and wrote any word they thought they were correct. Internal consistency of these words by Cranach Alpha was 0.84 and its test-retest reliability was 0.87. The results of "binominal test" indicated that participants in % 50 of cases selected 13 words out of 20 correct words. Also, they selected the correct words in %56.25 of the cases. Furthermore, there is significant difference between selection of correct and incorrect words of Swahili language. In addition, there isn’t any significant difference between female and male in selection of correct and incorrect Swahili words. These findings consist with those studies that study Chinese and Russian languages in other countries. Thus, the "Morphic Field" theory is valuable in facilitating learning among the members of one species.
