ABSTRACT
The current study aimed to investigate how the
teaching strategy affects the Gulf University students’ Learning outcomes
related to Technical Report Writing Course (ENG 119). Technical Report Writing
is a 3 credits hours university-required course that aims at presenting a comprehensive overview of the
essential elements of effective technical report writing and helping undergraduate
students to develop the practical skills required to write successfully. The
study used a quasi-experimental research approach with one group
post-assessment. The sample of the study was composed of 79 male and female
students who registered for (ENG 119) during the Spring Semester of the
academic year 2022/2023. Data analysis revealed that the students achieved the course-intended learning outcomes
with a high rate of (83.85%), the results also revealed that students achieved
a level of mastery in the course by 79.87%, which exceeded the
proposed /estimated value of mastery level of (75%) is statistically
significant at the level of significance .05 when compared to a hypothetical
level of mastery (75%). One-sample t-test results showed that the utilized
teaching strategy significantly affects the Gulf University student’s
achievement in Technical Report Writing Course (ENG119) and lead to a mean of
achievement of more than 75, i.e. GU students scored in Technical Report
Writing topped the estimated mean of 75 (M = 79.87, SD = 16.41) than found in
the population as a whole, t (78) = 2.640, p = .010. While the results of the data analysis did not reveal any statistically
significant differences between the average male and female students, though the
mean of the female group slightly outweighed the mean of the male group (female
average = 80.57, Std. Deviation = 14.89), from the male group (Mean = 79.32,
Std. Deviation = 18.34), t (77) = .738 not significant at p (.01). Based on these results the study recommends using blended
learning in teaching English for Adamic Purposes and it is recommended that
Gulf University train the faculty and students on how to make use of blended
learning before the implementation.
