The Effect of Using Posse Strategy in Training and Development Comprehension Reading Skills Amongst Sixth Graders

Abstract

Purpose of the study: This study aims to measure the effectiveness of using P.O.S.S.E strategy in the development of teaching to improve reading comprehension skills for sixth-grade students.
 Methodology: The procedure used is an experimental method based on Stratified Sampling which consists of 43 students divided into two groups – a control group of 21 students and an experimental group of 22 students- and a lesson plan was designed as a tool.
 Main Findings: The outcomes of the study indicated that the POSSE strategy has a positive effect on the development of reading comprehension skills over its five levels among the representative sample of sixth graders.
 Applications of this study: It is an essential reference in the development of teaching and training teachers to adapt to the P.O.S.S.E strategy for teachers, student educators.
 Novelty/Originality of this study: The result of this study is consistent with previous studies, which investigated the efficacy of POSSE strategy on the development of reading comprehension skills.

Effects of the POSSE Strategy on Reading Comprehension of Physics Texts and Physics Anxiety among High School Students

“…In addition, it emphasizes the importance of instructional dialogue between a teacher and students as well as within a group of students (Westwood, 2008;Westwood, 2016). Furthermore, implementing the POSSE strategy provides students with various activities that allow for classroom interaction, which encourages them to take ownership of their learning and creates a positive learning environment in which to foster students' affective needs (Alyatim et al, 2020;Paul & Norbury, 2012). As such, the POSSE strategy has the potential to empower students to become competent readers of physics texts and reduce their physics anxiety.…”
