The Effect of Accuracy Training on the Ability of Dictation of Primary School Girls

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of accuracy training on students' dictation ability. The research method is quasi-experimental with pre-test and post-test design with control group. The statistical population of the study consisted of all 1,786 female primary school students in Khoy city. Using purposive sampling method, 30 students with low scores in dictation lesson were selected as the sample and were randomly assigned into two groups (15 in experimental group and 15 in control group). Ragheb's skill development test (2005) was used to collect information. The experimental group received precision training programs for 15 sessions. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and inferential statistics (covariance analysis). The results of this study showed that the accuracy of the intervention significantly increased the mean scores of the dictation of the experimental group (122.65) compared to the control group (95.24) in the post-test phase. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that precision education can be used as a useful method to improve students' dictation skills.
