Abstract:

 

Due to the lack of practical usage of the
learned subject, traditional learning is becoming an obstacle in front of
further knowledge gaining. Classical learning methods are out-dated for the
modernized world that required more productive, collaborative, and more curious
individuals. Therefore, a new learning method is essential to provide knowledge
and skills to pursue world development without falling behind. The purpose of
this study is to find the positive effects of using Phenomenon-Based Learning
(PhenoBL) as a studying approach in teaching ICT skills to students and its
impact on giving the motivation and improving ICT skills for students at
primary schools of Sulaimani city in Iraq. The key method is to teach ICTs
through other classes with a universal as PhenoBL, the cross-curricular
approach which is built into the classes. Then, a survey is established to
uncover the reason behind making students learn about the ICT from places other
than school and shortage in keeping those skills in student’s mind for a longer
time. Our results showed that using Phenomenon-based learning students’ scores
are improved by more than 10% which makes using this method significantly
effective. Furthermore, using phenomenon-based learning allows the student to
keep and maintain gained skills for longer periods of time.
