Abstract

This study aims at constructing an instructional program and measuring its effect on the syntactic knowledge and performance in Arabic writing of basic tenth graders in Jordan by answering the following questions: Question one: What is the effect of an instructional program in syntactic knowledge on sample of basic tenth graders in the first educational directorate of Irbid in light of Bloom's taxonomy? Question two: What is the effect of an instructional program in syntactic performance in Arabic writing on sample of basic tenth graders in the first educational directorate of Irbid? The sample of the study consists of two sections, one of them serves as the experimental group (N=30), whereas, the other serves as the control group (N=30). For the purpose of the study, three tools were developed (instructional program, syntactic knowledge test and syntactic performance in Arabic writing scale). Study revealed the following: There is a statistically significant difference at the significant level (a = 0.05) in syntactic knowledge attributed to the application of the instructional program on the experimental group. Moreover, the study outcomes unraveled a statistically significant difference at the significant level (a = 0.05) in syntactic performance in Arabic writing attributed to the application of the instructional program on the experimental group.
