ABSTRACT

The research aimed to measure the effectiveness of using social media in developing self-regulated learning skills for the first secondary-grade students in history. The researcher followed the descriptive analytical design to construct the theoretical background on social media and clarify the importance and skills of Self -regulated learning skills, the researcher followed the experimental design to measure the effectiveness of using social media in developing the skills of Self -regulated learning skills for the first secondary grade students in history. The researcher prepared a self-regulated learning skills scale, in light of a list of the skills of self-regulated learning, a teacher’s guide, and an activity student booklet were designed. The research was conducted on (68) first-grade secondary students, and the educational experimental approach with two groups was followed, where the sample was divided into an experimental group and its number is (34) students, and a control group of (34) students. The research applied the self-regulated learning skills Scale before teaching both the experimental and control groups and then teaching the unit (Civilization of Pharaonic Egypt) by using the applications of social media to the experimental groups, and by using the usual way to the control group, and then applying the self-regulated learning skills scale after teaching. The results showed that there was a statistically significant difference at the level of significance (0.01) between the mean scores of the experimental group and the control group students in the post-application of the self-regulated learning skills scale in favor of the experimental group. Results approved that using social media to teach history has helped students take responsibility for their learning through assignments and tasks performed by students while studying individually or collectively, enabling students to continuously evaluate their learning process. The researcher made several recommendations such as modifying the content of the subjects to become more flexible when used in social media and training teachers to use social media in the teaching process of different subjects.
