New Criteria for Evaluating Learning in Primary School: A Measurement Study of the Fluency Skill

About this book

On the journey of searching for the "soul" in the heart of numbers: between the walls of classrooms, where the voices of little ones rise spelling their first words, lies a heavy trust whose size only one who dedicated his life to education comprehends. In this book, Dr. Said Akkawi does not take us on a dry technical tour among numbers and statistics; he opens before us a door to a deep human journey — a journey searching for an answer to an eternal question: why do some children remain stuck at the "threshold" of the letter while others launch into the spaces of the word? This book is no mere study in measurement and evaluation but a new educational manifesto refusing to let the evaluation of our children turn into mere "paper rites of passage" or canned verdicts like "mastered" and "not mastered." With a style blending the researcher's precision and the educator's burning concern, the author weaves the threads of "the dividing gap theory," presenting innovative concepts like "the fluency threshold" and "reading disability," turning the silent suffering of learners behind their texts into measurable scientific indicators. A pioneering pedagogical work that moves evaluation from judging children to understanding them — and from classifying them to building the bridges that carry them across the gap to the joy of fluent reading.
